You step off the minivan into humid air that smells of green leaves and salt from the nearby coast. A narrow trail threads downslope toward a cluster of aquamarine pools: the Blue Hole’s water looks as if it pulls the sky down with it. Later the White River opens like a slow-moving ribbon of glass, willing you to lie back in a tube and let the current carry your rhythm.

Reserve your spot on the Blue Hole and River Tubing Combo from Falmouth today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Wear closed-toe water shoes
The Blue Hole’s rocks are slippery and uneven—sturdy water shoes improve traction for swimming, scrambling, and cliff exits.
Bring a waterproof pouch or dry bag
Protect your phone, ID, and cash during tubing; most tours have limited storage at the sites.
Skip cliff-jumps if unsure
Jumping is optional—watch first and follow the guide’s signals; strong currents and submerged rocks can make jumps risky.
Carry small local cash
Vendors and tips for guides are often cash-only—JMD is accepted around Ocho Rios and at roadside stands.
Water shoes
Give traction on wet rocks and protect feet in pools and river shallows.
Swimsuit + quick-dry clothing
You’ll be in the water for extended periods and will want something that dries fast.
