Jamaica is known for sand, sun, and water, and there is no better place to enjoy it than Ocho Rios.  “Eight Rivers” in Spanish, Ocho Rios is on the northern coast of Jamaica.  Known for its crystal clear waters, Ochie (as the locals call it) is a great place to snorkel or scuba dive.  Let Tripology plan all the details for your upcoming group scuba diving vacation in Jamaica.
    Not scuba diving?  Ocho Rios and the surrounding area is home to some of the most famous all-inclusive resorts on the island; from Couples Sans Soucito to Sandals, there is a style of resort that meets every group’s needs.  Just write on your travel request form what you are looking for out of your resort and up to 3 Tripology travel agents will respond with group package deals for your upcoming Jamaica trip
    Not only is the sea a wonder to take in while on your group vacation, but Ocho Rios is also known for its waterfalls, specifically Dunn’s River Falls.  At 695 feet, you and your travel group can not only marvel at the falls cascading into the swimming hole below, but you can also climb the falls.
    Another not to miss tourist attraction is Dolphin Cove.  Fern Gully (which is a real life rocky gorge in the tropics, not just a movie from the 90’s) is an area not to be missed for its natural beauty, though you can skip over the many souvenir stands that have recently overrun the entrance.  There are over 500 types of ferns in the gully.
    And if one early 90’s movie reference isn’t enough, try your chance at your own Cool Runnings bobsled.  Tripology travel agents can help you plan your group package for Ocho Rios, including airfare, hotel or resort reservations, and any activities your tour group is interested in on the island of Jamaica.
    Prospect Plantation is a still-active plantation where you can see bananas, sugar cane, avocado, and other vegetables and spices growing.  In addition to the tour of the plantation, Tripology travel agents can get you group discount rates for bike rentals, so you can take in the whole property.
    Most of the bars in Ocho Rios are geared towards locals and not tourists, but they will still be welcoming to your travel group.  If you are looking for a larger club scene, try Montego Bay or Kingston.
The easiest way to get to Ocho Rios is through Montego Bay International airport – from there, Tripology travel agents can get a bus, van or car for your travel group, or we can book group airfare for you.  And remember, Tripology travel agents don’t stop working once you’re at you’re destination…..we help you get the best group rates for everything you plan during your upcoming Ocho Rios group vacation.
