When you book, you can choose the full combo or a version with extra time at one waterfall if that fits your day better. 📋 Key Details Duration: About four hours including transfers Group size: Private vehicle for your party Pickup: Ocho Rios hotels and cruise port 🌊 What to Expect Morning often starts at Blue Hole, where spring-fed pools and short forest trails offer swims, rope swings and gentle climbs behind the cascades. Guides help mixed groups find safe lines into the water so confident swimmers can try jumps while others stay in shallower pools. Konoko Falls sits minutes from town with landscaped gardens, a climbable waterfall and valley views over the resort coast. Entrance fees for each site are paid locally, and your driver keeps the order flexible when crowds or weather suggest swapping the sequence. 📍 Location Both sites sit in the cool hills of Saint Ann parish above Ocho Rios, where limestone forest keeps the air fresher than on the beach. Blue Hole feels wild and gully-like, while Konoko opens onto terraced gardens with a climbable cascade you can tackle at your own pace. Pickup covers Ocho Rios hotels and the cruise port, with short transfers between Blue Hole, Konoko and optional photo stops if time allows. Your private van stays with your group so you can dry off and change between the jungle swim and the garden climb. ✅ Prerequisites Comfort in natural water helps at Blue Hole, and steady footing matters on wet garden paths at Konoko. Water shoes are recommended at both stops because slick limestone and terrace steps show up quickly once spray wets the rock. Share ages and swimming confidence ahead of travel so guides can suggest calm lines for children and non-swimmers at the pools and garden falls. That way rope swings and deeper jumps stay optional while everyone still gets a proper waterfall morning. ⭐ Why Choose Us Tour Jamaica Today is a north-coast team based in Saint Ann, with drivers who know the Ocho Rios roads, cruise piers, and the trailheads up to Blue Hole and Dunn's River. You travel with the same guide-and-driver crew from lobby or pier pickup through the last swim or climb. We run these waterfall, river, and ranch days year-round, so we know when ships crowd the coast and which order of stops keeps your group relaxed. Share ages and timing when you book and we will pace the day around you instead of rushing… ### Essential information _None._ ### What’s included Private air-conditioned transport for your group Hotel and cruise pier pickup in your booked zone Driver-guide for the full day Return drop-off at your pickup point ### What’s not included Transport to and from the meeting point if you are not using the included hotel or cruise pickup Site entrance fees where charged locally Meals, drinks and snacks Personal travel insurance Gratuities for guides and drivers Water shoes, towels and swimwear ### Kit list Swimwear and a change of clothes Towel and water shoes Waterproof phone pouch Sun cream, hat and sunglasses Cash for park fees and optional extras ## FAQs ### Is this a private tour? Yes, the vehicle is reserved for your party rather than a shared coach with strangers. Share your group size ahead of travel so we can assign suitable transport and confirm pickup windows. Private transport makes it easier to adjust photo stops or pacing along the short drives between Blue Hole and Konoko. Your private van stays with your party all day, so you are not juggling bags on a shared coach between the falls and the river. ### Which site do we visit first? We usually swim at Blue Hole first, then drive to Konoko for gardens and the terraced falls climb. Your driver may reverse the order if crowds or weather make another sequence smoother. They will explain any change before you leave the vehicle so you know how the morning will run. Morning pickup from the pier or hotel helps protect your afternoon for swimming, climbing, or the ride back to the ship. ### Are entrance fees included? Fees for Blue Hole and Konoko are typically paid locally unless your confirmation states otherwise. Bring cash for both gates and any optional extras on site. Your driver can remind you before each stop so you are prepared at the gate. Guides on site will point out the easier lines if you want a calmer route, and your driver keeps dry clothes handy in the van between stops. ### Do I need water shoes? Water shoes help on limestone at Blue Hole and on wet garden paths at Konoko. Pack a pair that drains quickly and keep them in your day bag from the first stop. Secure footwear makes it easier to move between pools, trails and the garden waterfall climb. Tell us about kids, non-swimmers, or ship times when you book and we will pace the day around your group. ### Can children join? Families often enjoy this day because pools offer shallow areas as well as deeper jumps for confident swimmers. Younger guests should stay beside an adult in the water at both stops. List ages ahead of travel so guides can suggest calm lines and pacing for younger guests and plan life vests if needed. Water shoes and a small dry bag make the wet sections much more comfortable once you are off the beach and into the pools. ### Is lunch included? Meals are not included unless stated on your confirmation, though there are snack chances near town. Weather can shift quickly on the north coast, so crews watch river levels and rock grip before they send you onto the next section. Eat before pickup or pack light snacks if you prefer fewer restaurant stops during the inland section. Your driver can suggest a quick bite near Ocho Rios on the return leg when time allows. ### What if it rains? Light rain often continues as planned, while heavy weather may delay water activities for safety. Your private van stays with your party all day, so you are not juggling bags on a shared coach between the falls and the river. Keep your phone handy for driver updates and pack a light rain jacket for tropical afternoons. Guides may swap the order of Blue Hole and Konoko if one site is quieter in the wet. ### Are there different booking options? You will see a few titles on the booking page for the same style of private day, usually with more time at Blue Hole, more time at Konoko, or the balanced combo. Morning pickup from the pier or hotel helps protect your afternoon for swimming, climbing, or the ride back to the ship. Pick the title that matches how you want the morning split, and message us through Adventuro chat if two options look similar. Guides on site will point out the easier lines if you want a calmer route, and your driver keeps dry clothes handy in the van between stops. ### What should I wear? Wear swimwear under casual clothes for quick changes at Blue Hole, plus a dry shirt for the van. Tell us about kids, non-swimmers, or ship times when you book and we will pace the day around your group. A hat and sun cream help in the open garden sections at Konoko overlooking the coast. Water shoes and a small dry bag make the wet sections much more comfortable once you are off the beach and into the pools. ### Where is pickup? We collect from Ocho Rios hotels and the cruise pier unless you note another approved property ahead of travel. Weather can shift quickly on the north coast, so crews watch river levels and rock grip before they send you onto the next section. Return drop-off is normally the same lobby or pier exit at the end of the day. Your private van stays with your party all day, so you are not juggling bags on a shared coach between the falls and the river. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=1200,format=auto,quality=90/https://wp.adventuro.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/d615e04a-f155-4e12-aa4f-28cd20de775e-1.jpg - **Gallery image count**: 6 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
