There is the captivating natural beauty of a 600-foot waterfall awaiting avid shutterbugs when they visit Ocho Rios and its deep seas, one of the best reefs in the world and home to this mighty waterfall view. But, there are many more scenic waterfalls spread across various Jamaican locales like the YS Falls located on the southern tip of Jamaica, which though a little cut-off from the main resort locations gets a good deal of local crowds and is a great place for local eats, like ‘pepper shrimp’ when driving through Middle Quarters, just a little away from Black River and St. Elizabeth Parish; you can get these packed in a paper bag easily enough and head for the YS Falls for a day of childish pleasures or even an intimate picnic for two. Many tourists to the city of Ocho Rios have strong though differing opinions about it, but most agree that Dunn's river falls are undoubtedly a must-visit, much in part due to Ferngully close by that boasts the most beautiful lush green ferns population reported anywhere in the world. Dunn’s Falls are not very steep, and tourists to Jamaica are known to climb there and frolic safely with locals and foreign tourists enjoying the large pool of water’s wading opportunities with equal carefree abandonment and pleasure.
Of course, no travel guide to Jamaica would be complete without a mention of the Pelican Bar, situated in the middle of blue bay waters of Parrottee and only accessible by boat from the Southern coast of the Island. It features on the world’s Top 10 Unique Bar list for unique bars and if you are interested in getting clicked here or finding out what are the best islander cocktails this eclectic sea-flanked bar is famous for worldwide, book a trip in from Treasure Beach or Negril and thereafter head for Taino Cove. This is also the place for affordable, cozy and luxurious island accommodation if you want to put up on Treasure Beach.
Another super fun holiday idea for those visiting Jamaica is to go bamboo rafting down the rapid waters of the Rio Grand – now, that would really be an adventure of a lifetime especially since the trip involves 8 miles down river travel on the Portland side of the Jamaican Rio Grande and could cost anywhere between $ 100 to $200 or more, besides a tip for the captain, with costs determined by the season pricing.
