Falmouth Shore Excursion: Blue Hole, White River Tubing
Your adventure begins with pick-up at the Falmouth cruise ship pier, where you will meet your professional driver/guide and climb into your fully air-conditioned minivan or coach. Depart the pier and travel East of Falmouth, along the golden coast of Jamaica going through towns and villages. Place your feet in history with a stop at Columbus Park Open Air Museum where Christopher Columbus landed in 1494. Bypass the first Spanish capital in Jamaica, Seville, St Ann’s Bay and drive through the town of Ocho Rios.
On your arrival at the Blue Hole you are introduced to your guide who will take you on this river adventure. The Blue Hole (also known as the Secret Fall) is a 25 foot clear blue pool, just off the White River and nestled under a wonderful tropical canopy of trees, which boast a breathtaking bed of beautiful exotic flowers. Encircling the pool are spectacular cascades of waterfalls gushing over into the Blue Hole, also surrounded by various small, crystal clear pools (great for kids). Both locals and adventurous lucky visitors to the island feel privileged to swim in this “Secret Falls.” You can plunge Tarzan style from ropes into the Blue Hole (lower falls). The upper falls is a short hike through the rainforest-like settings along the rushing river. Once at the top, you can swim and jump off the waterfalls. Next, to add more excitement of your adventure is river tubing on the White River, the thrills and excitement begins when you get into a tube and start this breathtaking adventure through rapids and placid pools as you continue to drift effortlessly down the river. Midway through this adventure you will have the opportunity for a breathtaking rope swing and plunge into the blue river water.
