Jamaica Villa Rental - On Top of the World Activities, Between Ocho Rios and Port Maria, Jamaica

Dunn's River Falls

A must see and do attraction in Jamaica is climbing Dunn's River Falls.

Beginning at the sea you climb 600' of stair-stepping limestone surrounded by tall rainforest.
If you're not quite so brave at heart there's wooden stairs along the way to view the awesome cascades and pools. You can spend the entire day here for only $6 US.

Rio Grande Rafting

This is a leisurely three-hour ride down the river on a 36' long bamboo raft.
You sit on a raised seat for two as an experienced guide poles your trip. It is wonderfully scenic and you'll get a taste of rural life along the riverbanks.

Shopping Jamaica Style

You will certainly find treasures worth bargaining for in Jamaica.
Shoppers will find beautiful crafts from local artists, ranging from paintings of local scenery to wood relief carvings of the local sights.
Another must-have treat is the famous Blue Mountain Coffee known around the world as some of the finest you can buy.

Pagee Beach and Cabrita Island

Pagee Beach stretches for almost a mile and is wonderful for nice long walks in the sand. Swimming is great here, and it is also the most westerly spot for surfing along the north coast. Colorful fishing boats can be seen anchored in the bay. You can hire a guide and boat to go fishing or take you to Cabarita Island. Or perhaps simply kick back and enjoy a Red Stripe at the thatched roof beach bars.
