- Green Grotto Caves - Green Grotto stretches 1,525 meters in length and reaches a depth of 12 meters. It features numerous chambers, light holes, and a subterranean lake known as the Grotto Lake. Located on 25.9 hectares of the island’s stunning North Coast, the Green Grotto Cave is enveloped by dense vegetation and nourished by pristine waters from its hidden depths. The main attraction is the expansive labyrinthine limestone cave, showcasing unique rock formations, stalactites, stalagmites, and an abundance of ceiling pockets, bats, and a mysterious wishing well of unknown depth. Upon arrival, gear up for a one-hour exploration of this enchanting underworld with a resident guide, promising an unforgettable experience! The cave’s features remain in their original state. The Green Grotto Cave has been a filming location for several movies, including “Live and Let Die.” It is a must-see marvel that will complete your vacation.
- Dunn’s River Falls and Park - Experience the world-renowned Dunn’s River Falls, where you can climb the falls in a human chain led by experienced Falls Guides. Dunn’s River Falls Park offers the perfect setting for family fun and relaxation, with delightful discoveries at every turn. A friendly resident guide will lead you to the beach where the tour begins. The climb from the beach to the top is approximately 600 feet (183 meters). Along the way, there are pools for photo opportunities and playful moments. Let the cascades embrace you as you ascend. Pause at the ‘massage parlour’ to enjoy the soothing effects of the water cascading to the sea. Exit points are available if you wish to stop – if so, meet your group at the finish. For those less adventurous, observe the activities from the “safe” vantage point of the terrace or deck. Total time is approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes.
- Columbus Park - Columbus Park is located in the town of Discovery Bay. Originally named Puerto Seco “Dry Harbour” by Christopher Columbus in 1494, it was where he and his men landed on the Island. They initially struggled to find fresh water but later discovered it about 5 miles west, naming the location Rio Bueno (“Good River”). The town was renamed Discovery Bay in 1947, as it was where Columbus and the Spanish landed on May 4, 1494. The park features several old relics and artifacts on display (currently closed for renovations). There will be a brief stop for photos to capture the rich history of this historic town.
- Runaway Bay - This tour takes you through one of the island’s most popular towns. Runaway Bay is naturally beautiful and one of Jamaica’s most scenic areas, nestled between the stunning coastline and lush green mountains. The origin of the town’s name is debated; some believe it was named for the last group of Spanish soldiers retreating from British troops led by Governor Ysassi after the 1655 British invasion, while others argue it was an escape route for slaves fleeing to Cuba. Have your cameras ready as you explore this area.
- Rose Hall Great House - The Rose Hall Great House is an early 18th-century plantation home situated on a high elevation in Rose Hall, Montego Bay. Once owned by the infamous Annie Palmer, known as one of Jamaica’s most notorious plantation owners, she owned hundreds of slaves and was responsible for the deaths of three of her four husbands before being strangled by the fourth. The house became haunted after her gruesome death in 1831. Although there is no stop at the Rose Hall Great House on the way to Green Grotto and Dunn’s River Falls, your tour guide will share its history and slow down for photos.
- Greenwood Great House - The Greenwood Great House, an early 18th-century plantation home, was built at a high elevation, a common strategy during the plantation era for overseeing the plantation and security. Unlike the Rose Hall Great House, Greenwood offers a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. Its history and architecture are truly captivating. Feel free to take photos as your tour guide slows down.
- Scotchies Drax Hall - Scotchies Outdoor Garden Restaurant is renowned for offering the best jerk chicken and pork. It’s recommended to conclude your day’s activities with a stop for the ultimate jerk experience at Scotchies. The food is prepared with the whole family in mind, allowing even children to enjoy the tender, juicy pork and succulent chicken with festival. Steamed vegetables are available for non-meat eaters. Don’t miss the chance to try the homemade Scotchies specialty hot sauce made from locally sun-ripened Scotch Bonnet Peppers.

Attractions with tour guide Copely - A well organized trip from our driver Copely. He was very knowledgeable throughout the drive providing info and history throughout and checked us in at each venue. We didn't need to worry about anything. We requested to eat where the locals dine. He followed through with this request and we felt safe and the food was authentic and delicious. The attractions were amazing and Copely exceeded our expectations.

Family Cruise - I booked this excursion through my travel agent. We were picked up by Yardi Tours and Shawn and Dennis drove us to the cave. Dennis was quick to get us checked in with our tour guide. We were the only group which was nice. We took our time, the young lady who took us was very friendly and informative about the caves. Would highly recommend.

A terrific combination for those staying in Montego Bay - This is a great combination of activities. If you're coming from Montego Bay, I recommend you bundle them since both are a meaningful distance and they're fairly close to one-another (so no backtracking). Dunn's River Falls is exhilarating and a highlight of any trip to Jamaica while the Green Grotto Caves was truly unique and filled with interesting historical and ecological information. The transportation was smooth and pleasant.
