Blue Hole, Secrets Falls and Dunn’s River Falls from Ocho Rios

 

The Blue Hole and Secret Falls is probably the most sought after tourist attraction in Ocho Rios. There are many unknown waterfalls in Jamaica, but the secret in Ocho Rios is the most accessible one. Travel east of the Ocho Rios town for approximately 4 miles, pass through local communities and then head into the rural hills until we get to the remote Irie Blue & Secret Falls attraction.

The Blue Hole is deep and a lot of fun for good swimmers and divers of all ages. The White River’s blue hazy water adds to the beauty of the surroundings.

Included in this attraction for thrill seekers is a Tarzan Rope swing after which you can jump in the river pool, you may explore small caves, climb behind the water falls, go cliff diving into the river, hike along the river and get covered in clay from the river bank.

Bask in the sun, enjoy the cool breeze in the hills, and spend a day in the Jamaican bush enjoying the beautiful surroundings away from the crowds associated with larger tourist attractions. This is an off the beaten track attraction that supports the local economy, you will be assisted with guides and trained life guards as you go through the property, they are eager to help you enjoy this one of a kind attraction. Bathrooms facilities and changing rooms are also available at the Secret Falls.

We guarantee that you will enjoy this experience, consider it to be your #1 attraction and go away with many memories of adventure and fun. After you have finished climbing, its time to the world famous Dunn’s River Falls. It’s one wet adventure after the other.

Your driver/guide will take you for a 15 minute ride down toward the coast until we arrive at the world famous Dunn’s River Falls. When you arrive at the falls you will be oriented by our guides briefly before making the climb. There is a stairway adjacent to the fall that goes all the way down to the beach. At the base of the Falls on the beach is where you will start your climb of this 600 feet natural wonder, for all those of you who are adventurous. The climb is not hard, but an easily navigable fun experience.

For those who do not want to climb, but prefer a less adventurous experience, the beautiful impressive sights of the falls alone are worth it. These visitors may view the action from the adjacent stairways and the beautiful surroundings all to the sounds of gushing water on the falls. Dunn’s River Falls and park consist of a beach with water sports activities, a Craft Market, picnic areas and Food Court, but the main activity is climbing the Falls – which is a fun group activity!

The Park requires that you wear (Aquamarine) water shoes to make this wet but easily navigable climb. If you don’t bring your own they can be rented or purchased on property.

The park also provides guides to assist you with your climb. there is no charge for these guides but it’s customary to tip them. They take groups of fifteen or more persons on the climb up the Falls. They are really helpful during your climb and will help you to enjoy the experience more. However, using a falls guide is not mandatory and left up to your comfort level and confidence in making this journey. The climb to the top of the falls takes (approximately 45minutes) from the base on the beach.

If you do not want to continue your climb at some point during the journey or would like to start at a particular point on the falls, there are several points along the way of the adjoining path that you can easily access the River.

Be sure to bring your water proof camera as there will be many opportunities to take pictures of this unforgettable experience. However, if you forgot to bring your camera there are several photographers available to capture all your special moments. Dunn’s River Falls is a wonderful experience, we have taken groups who have made the climb up to three times in one visit!!

Over decades Dunn’s River Falls has offered millions of explorers an instant connection to nature but also has concessions such as Blue Mountain Coffee, hair braiding and Baskin & Robins.

From Dunn’s River Falls your guide will take you on a short ride along the north coast and then either back to your ship or to the Jimmy Buffet’s Margaritaville where you can go on the pool slide, drink some cocktails, jump in the water trampolines, do some last minute shopping for rum and souvenirs or take a swim at the Margaritaville beach before returning to your Cruise Ship Pier or Resort.

    Hi Dwight,

    I already did a review on TripAdvisor, a 5 star review !

    Everything was great. The driver and the Blue Hole guide was terrific (CJ, I think). At Dunn’s river, the guide and the photo guy were not really a good fit for our group.

    Thanks for the service and will book with you for sure next time !!!

    We had a wonderful experience. We have used you guys in the past and will definitely do so again in the future. Our driver/ guide went above and beyond for us. The regular port was closed due to damage and not only did your team change stuff around for us when we thought we were going to Falmouth instead but changed it back when we were able to come to ocho Rios . Our guide also brought us to margaritaville amd waited while we ate because of the change of location of the ship it would have been too far for us to walk with kids. I just can’t say enough good things about our experience. Keep up the good work.

    Michael was awesome. He answered questions and kept us on time. Love the fact he was able to take us to a restaurant after the Dunn’s River so we could get some authentic Jamaican jerk chicken.

    Hi Dwight,

    The excursion that we did to the blue hole and the Dunn’s river fall was so good.
    Rudy our driver was nice and funny. We feel good and safe with him.
    We were a little group that is very appreciated. We had a really good time.
    Thank you for your rigor. We saw that it was really well organized.
    We find Jamaica so beautifull and want to come back. We will do an excursion with you again without hesitation.

    Thank you again.

    Hi Dwight,
    We enjoyed our excursion to Dunns River Falls and also to the Blue Hole. Our driver was nice and courteous and the excursions themselves were awesome. Our guide, TJ, at the Blue Hole was awesome! He really made the experience for us something we will never forget. I would highly recommend these excursions to anyone coming to Jamaica.

    Thank you,

    Hi Dwight,
    Thank you for giving us a perfect day in Jamaica. Our driver Ackeem was a very friendly and competent tour guide. We really enjoyed the waterfalls and the beach and look forward to returning for a longer time. Of course we book again with you. At Tripadvisor we have already submitted a review.

    My girls, my cousin and I did your tour in August. I apologize cause I don’t remember our drivers name, but he was very friendly and accommodating and got us to our destinations and back on time.
    The staff at Dunn river Falls were very friendly as well.
    I have to say I liked Blue Hole Lagoon the best. Our tour guide was Little T and he was great with all of us especially my 11 year old. She really enjoyed her experience here because of him. He definitely does a great job all around. I hope he gets acknowledged for all his hard work and how great he is as a tour guide.

    Our experience was fantastic. Ryan was very professional and informative. When we told him we are all vegetarians, he took us to a very nice vegan place for lunch.

    The whole tour was very well planned and executed.

    Thank you so much for being on top of things.

    We will definitely be in touch if we ever come back to Jamaica to explore more.

    We had an absolute blast. We booked a group trip with 21 who are all friends and everyone loved it!! The guides were awesome, the guides always make the trip better! They took care of us if anyone got behind on their tube and helped a lot on the falls. Thank you!

    I would like to express my gratitude for the experience you provided for my family while we were on vacation. We were a little nervous prior to arrival because of the ships people telling us not to book with anyone that’s not affiliated with the cruise line. Our driver quickly addressed that and made us feel comfortable. He gave us a great deal of information on the drive to the Blue Lagoon and Secret Falls. Once we got to the Blue Lagoon Little T was awesome with my kid while we were doing the activities there. Everyone in Jamaica was wonderful but Little T stood out he was a joy to deal with and seems like a good kid. Please pass this on to him. He made my son’s experience special and we enjoyed him.

    Good morning,
    First, thank you all so much for providing such a great service for guests to the island. Visiting a destination for the first time can be a little overwhelming but having excursions planned with your company makes everything easier and fun.

    Our driver was beyond awesome! We started out briefly with Akim who was very friendly and energetic. Akim put us with another driver and we had our own special day. I feel so bad because we didn’t get our driver’s name but from the very first moment he made us feel so at ease and comfortable, it was like riding with family. Our driver was so knowledgeable about Jamaica and kept us engaged in conversation about the history and culture of such a beautiful place. Our excursions to the Erie Blue Hole and Dunns Fall was off the chain to say the least!! We had a blast from start to finish..so much fun!

    Thank you for everything..this was the best birthday ever! We are already planning our next trip & will be contacting you all right away. Yah mon! ?
    Blessings,

    Glen was a fantastic guide! He helped one of my sons w some trouble they were having w their water shoe, made sure we had secure footing while crossing sketchy terrain, checked on an injury that one of my boys received a day earlier somewhere and was also upbeat, and fun. He’s a good guy and you’ll be lucky if he doesn’t move on to greener pastures…
    Our driver was also very decent. A good driver at all times, and very personable. I think his name was Willy?
    Thanks guys—

    As we booked last minute (the night before, on the ship), we’d like to thank you for accommodating our request and we indeed had a great time, albeit short with our visit to Ocho Rios. The pick-up process at the cruise port was smooth, as was the driver switch at the Jerk Centre.

    Our excursion was great. Our guide was Uton, and he was amazing. Very knowledgeable, professional, and made sure we had a good time. Dunn’s River was a cool experience and we really enjoyed the Blue Hole. I will certainly recommend Krandas, and especially Uton to any friends and family traveling to Jamaica.
    Thanks!

    Dear Mr. Soares,

    Just wanted to let you know how great and extremely helpful Mr. Uton was with us. Couldn’t have asked for a better tour guide. He was very well respectful and taught us so much about this beautiful country. Next time (hopefully soon) we decide come back to Jamaica, we’ll definitely be calling you guys and asking for Uton to drive us around again. Again, thank you so much for the excellent service.

    Hi Dwight,

    we are very happy by our tour in Ocho Rios, we had 4 stops during our cruise and Ocho Rios was the best.
    We loved it.

    Your driver/guide was helpfull and gave us many informations about the life and the countryside in Ocho Rios, and the tour was exactly what expected, except that he did not know about the restaurant we have chosen (Spring Gardens Restaurant) and drove us to Mangoose Jamaica, but it was OK.

    Be sure we will come back with you if ever we have to return in Jamaica and that I will give good feeling on Trip Advisor.

    Best regards.

    I can’t remember the names but the driver was excellent… full of info on local sites and very friendly. The guide we had at Blue Hole was friendly and patient and was more than accommodating on taking photos of my family with my phone. Blue Hole was our favorite excursion on our cruise. Dunn’s River Falls was our least favorite. Way over crowded. Guides were very friendly and helpful though.

    Hello Dwight,

    The tour was absolutely great. We had a large wedding party of about 25 or so people and everyone had a very nice time.

    The driver showed up on time and was very accommodating. He was also fairly informative and gave out some good good general knowledge about Jamaica and some of the areas we had seen in the way.
    The excursion itself was great with the blue hole and dunns river. Also liked that it was without a set food menu to save on the cost and this way at dunns river people were able to buy their own foods of choice.
    Overall great experience.

    Thank you.

    Dear Mr. Soares,

    I can not say enough wonderful things about our experience with your company and those who work there!

    Let me start by saying Dexter was the perfect driver! He told us about the culture and different places to see on the island. He answered our questions of interest and was only concerned for all of our safety. He had a wonderful personality and genuinely enjoyed what he does! He was a fantastic guide! He never left us, he stayed and waited for us at each stop. He also walked us pass all the local venders to our Dunn River Falls excursion so that we may enjoy are limited time there.

    We started at the Blue Hole where Dexter introduced us to our tour guides Glen and Daniel who were also exceptional young men that stayed with our group from the beginning to the end. They helped us maneuver each and every step we had to take through the rocky water.

    What a wonderful and caring group of people you have employed!! I will always remember the awesome experience we all had with your company. I have also wrote a review on trip advisor praising your company. I have posted on Facebook also about the awesome time we all had.

    I will always use your services when I visit Jamaica in the future. I have been twice now and plan on visiting Jamaica again in the near future.
    Our group want to thank you very much for your kindness and wonderful hospitality that you showed us during our visit to your beautiful country.

    Sincerely,
