Perched on the northern coast of Jamaica, Ocho Rios is a bustling town backdropped by lush green hills and home one of the most celebrated attractions in the Caribbean -- Dunn's River Falls. Tours to this terraced travertine cascade-reaching heights of 180 feet and stretching 600 feet in length before pouring into the Caribbean Sea-offer hikes, lagoon swims, beach relaxation and stops to browse locally made goods at the Craft Market. Other popular shore excursions include visits to reggae-legend Bob Marley's hometown in nearby Nine Mile St. Ann, river rafting adventures and high-flying zipline fun.
