The Ultimate Ocho Rios Heritage Cavern Tour
Escape the crowded cruise port docks of Ocho Rios for a comfortable, deeply enriching underground adventure. Located just 30 minutes west along the coastline in Discovery Bay, Green Grotto Caves offers cruise visitors and hotel guests an unmatched combination of tropical geology, pirate folklore, and historical sanctuary.
Journey into ancient karst chambers once inhabited by the indigenous Taíno Indians, used by retreating Spanish defenders following the British conquest of 1655, and later utilized as a strategic hideout for runaway slaves. Marvel at thousands of years of stalactite and stalagmite development, experience the serene majesty of the subterranean Grotto Lake, and learn the folklore of the Jamaican North Coast from expert local guides.
