Black River Safari Boat Tour and YS Falls
Fringed with mangroves, the Black River is the longest in Jamaica, and you can tour this tranquil river on a guided boat tour. Nature lovers will be in heaven. Crocodiles and more than 100 species of birds, including herons and snowy egrets, are among the critters that make their home here, and you can learn all about the area’s ecology and history during the tour.
A short drive away and often combined with the Black River for tours, the beautiful YS Falls are Jamaica’s largest cascades. If you’re looking for things to do in Jamaica with kids, this is a top choice. Some of the seven waterfalls flow into peaceful natural pools, which are lovely for a dip on a hot day. One of the pools is suitable for children as well.
You can also play Tarzan on the rope swing and plunge into a wading pool below fed by natural springs. Ziplining and river tubing are also available.

COOL Blue Hole, Ocho Rios
High in the rain-forest-cloaked mountains outside Ocho Rios, the Blue Hole is a series of picturesque waterholes fed by gushing cascades. It’s also called Island Gully Falls or the Irie Blue Hole.
This relaxing trip is a great way to soak up some of the tropical scenery, and you can even stop at local vendors along the way to purchase souvenirs or refreshments. Best of all, some of the guides will entertain you during the trip, singing reggae songs or sharing interesting information about the flora and fauna.
This is a popular day trip from Montego Bay (about 37 kilometers away) and Ocho Rios (abut 70 kilometers away). You can also do this from Negril, but it takes about two hours one way to reach the Martha Brae Rafting Village, where the tours launch.

Doctor’s Cave Beach, Montego Bay
One of the best beaches in Montego Bay, Doctor’s Cave Beach is an alluring strip of white sand fringed by clear waters.
This famous beach actually helped shape the fate of this popular tourist town. In the early 1920s, a famous British osteopath declared that the water had curative powers after swimming here, a claim that began to lure visitors from around the world. Hotels sprouted up, and the area became a thriving tourist destination.
The namesake cave was destroyed by a hurricane in 1932, but the beach is as popular as ever – hanging out here is one of the top things to do in Montego Bay, and it’s often crowded with cruise ship passengers.
Change rooms, restaurants, and shops are all available nearby, and you can rent beach equipment here, too. Note that there’s a fee to access the beach.
