About This Adventure
Be prepared for a trek through the jungle and swimming in cool waters on this amazing outdoor adventure! Hike along off-the-beaten rainforest paths and discover the blissful fresh waters of the Blue Hole. Immerse yourself in this impressive natural setting in the middle of a Jamaican tropical paradise. Climb the waterfalls and fly on a Tarzan rope swing as you jump, dive and swim in three natural pools. Explore a hidden cave and admire the exotic flora and fauna of the area. Explore the rainforest until you come upon Jamaica's Blue Hole paradise! Your exotic adventure to discover the Blue Hole begins in the morning with transportation from your resort. You’ll meet up with your energetic guide at the beginning of the trail leading into the Jamaican rainforest enveloped by lush green flora as you head for this rustic attraction hidden in the looming mountains. You’ll be surrounded by the tropical beauty that filters the sunlight penetrating the jungle canopy until coming upon the turquoise waters of this unique aquatic wonder. Also known as “Island Gully Falls” or “Secret Falls”, this swimming spot is a traveler’s favorite thanks to its secluded location and hidden caves carved into the rock underneath its cascading waters.
During this excursion, your guide will point out interesting details as you make your way along the trail and climb a series of smaller waterfalls on your way to the top. Once there, you can awaken your inner ‘Tarzan persona’ as you grab hold of a rope swing for some daring drops - 9 and 15 ft! - splashing into the invigorating, crystal-clear natural pools below. Not quite that adventurous! There is plenty of time to simply take it easy with a swim in the three natural pools. Let all your worries wash away in the revitalizing waters of this beautiful place with a natural ‘massage’ under the rushing current of the waterfalls. You can also explore the hidden caves underneath the waterfalls. This surprise feature offers an additional escapade during your adventure to the Blue Hole.
