Getting around Ocho Rios

If you want to see key sights like Blue Hole and the White River, then one of the city’s specialised tour bus operators is your best bet. These often operate from particular hotels and are cheaper if you share with other travellers so it’s a good idea to see who else around you is heading off to see similar attractions. Many hotels are located a short stroll from the beach, though, so you can see many of the natural attractions of the city on foot.
