Take a breath taking Tour of Konoko Gardens or Shaw Park Gardens, Wassi Art Pottery, Fern Gully and Shopping in the town; experience Nature at its best.

Experience the natural pristine beauty of Shaw Park Botanical Gardens and Waterfalls or Konoko Botanical Gardens and Waterfalls . Both are situated high on a hilltop overlooking the azure waters of the Caribbean Sea, the Gardens embrace several acres of tropical splendor.

Wassi Art is a working pottery studio, gallery and store, Wassi (meaning terrific in island dialect) is home to a trove of elaborate works of art created by more than a dozen artists who work tirelessly to create the brightly colored handcrafted vases, teapots, statues, cups and more. The studio offers a free factory tour for visitors to see the artists in action: spinning, drying, painting and baking the clay pieces.

Fern Gully was a river bed until an earthquake around 1907; the gorge was one of the eight flowing rivers of the Ocho Rios area. The river disappeared during the earthquake and the river bed was turned into a paved road. It is now possible to walk three miles through the valley in the shadows of magnificent ferns and hardwood trees. Jamaica has more than 500 species of ferns, and you can see at least 300 of them in this dark, shaded gorge almost 3 miles in length.

Shop “til yu drop”! Shopping enthusiasts are well aware that it truly pays to be in-the-know about where the best spots are for grabbing bargains and finding hidden treasures and Ocho Rios is the ideal place.
