If you don't feel up this challenge, you can always enjoy the beach which is at the bottom of the waterfalls. But, do not forget to travel with your bathing suit and water-resistant digital camera. The water shoes and lockers are available for rental on the property.

Whatever you decide to do once you reach Ocho Rios, you are guaranteed to have truly unforgettable experiences.
