Ocho Rios Flights and Travel Guide

Visitors to Ocho Rios find themselves immersed in a Jamaica funhouse. The port town of Ocho Rios welcomes cruise ships on an almost daily basis filled with travelers eager to explore the Jamaica landscape. Most visitors on flights to Ocho Rios arrive in Kingston and travel across the island to their resort location or private retreat. But if you’re just in town for a day before disembarking to another Caribbean destination, take in some essential Jamaica must-dos.

If there’s time, take a trip to the Ocho Rios countryside and explore the lush gardens and beautiful waterfalls. Drive the countryside to really enjoy the scenery and make sure to tour through the famous three-mile vine-draped Fern Gully. If you’re only docking in Ocho Rios for a couple hours your best bet is to hit the beach. Like all the other Jamaican destinations, Ocho Rios is situated on soft white sand beaches so sunbathing and water sports are popular pastimes.  Whatever your reason for booking Ocho Rios flights to or from Jamaica, there is plenty to do in this resort destination.

The two-room shack is open to visitors and filled with Marley memorabilia. Reggae concerts are held at Nine Mile each year on Feb. 6, in honor of Bob Marley's birthday.
