OVERVIEW

Delve into the history of St. Ann’s Bay on a panoramic drive through town before returning to Ocho Rios for an authentic Jamaican lunch.

It marks the spot where the explorer is said to have first landed on the island in 1494. Back in Ocho Rios, you will settle in for a delightful meal at Miss T’s Murphy Hill, a restaurant revered for its signature Jamaican dishes.

Today you’ll explore one of those rivers - the amazing, untouched White River. Take a step back in time when your adventure begins at the 17th-century landmark, Spanish Bridge. As you get ready to journey down the cool waters of the White River, which gained its name from the pristine clarity of its water, you’ll receive a safety briefing from your experienced guides who will also outfit you with your safety equipment. This 1.2 approx. mile ride down the river, not only gives you the rich history of Jamaica, but it also shows you the beauty of the land as you pass by coconut plantations, bamboo groves and along river banks filled with indigenous flora and fauna.

The real adventure lies in the White River as you enjoy her many moods, which will bring you to challenging rapids and enchanting lagoons. The breathtaking views and vistas of this tour, which takes you between two of the island’s most scenic parishes, can only be found on this River Tubing Safari. As you disembark, you’ll find yourself in one of Jamaica’s most beautiful valleys. The White River Valley is a garden paradise with over 100 species of flowers. The property’s facilities and buildings mirror the architecture of a traditional Jamaican village, so be sure to stop by Parrot Bar and refresh with a cool drink or just take in the sights of the real Jamaica. Photos, souvenirs and lunch are available for purchase.
