Well worth the visit, beautiful gardens set in the hillside, we were shown around by our guide Richard, who was amazingly knowledgeable of the history of the gardens and all the plants and creatures in the surroundings, a fab place for any keen photographer with the views of Ocho and humming birds and fauna. At only $10 entry it's worth every penny.
3. White River

Get up close and personal with the Chukka White River Valley location, offering stunning natural beauty and historic landmarks. The clarity of the water at White River Valley and the consistency of the river flow make it stand out above other locations on the island. The limestone bedrock filters the river’s water so it remains crystal clear even when there’s flooding. Located in St. Mary, Jamaica, this location is home to beautiful wildlife and an extensive history. With the exciting zipline adventure and thrilling river tubing journey this location is the perfect piece of paradise when paired with the Blue Hole experience!

We booked a tubing trip down the White River with Chukka Tours and had a wonderful time. I had been promising to go tubing with my wife back home but never did. This more than made up for it in her mind. The river only moves fast in a few places so it is a relaxing ride and beautiful to boot. Lots of plants and flowers along the way and the trip is mostly shaded from vegetation along the river. Our guide, Sheldon, was funny, helpful, and great. I would recommend this excursion.

We visited as part of an excursion booked through our ship MSC. Included in the excursion was Mystic mountain Rainforest Sky Explorer, a chair lift ride that soars 700 feet above the tree tops, transporting you high above Ocho Rios. Lovely views to the surrounding trees and bay below. Next up, you hop aboard Bobsled Jamaica, a bobsled that speeds you along stainless steel rails on a 1,000-meter, gravity-driven thrill ride through the forest. It is self controlled, so you can go as fast or slow as you like. Much fun! We were then transported the short distance to Dunns River Falls. It was very hot, and pretty crowded. However we were able to get lockers and a guide ( the process is not that self evident). Our guide, Mr Shaw, and chief photographer Curtis, made the experience so enjoyable and fun. The tips we paid them were so worthwhile... it would not have been as entertaining without them. Everyone links up in a human chain to begin ascending this beautiful travertine waterfall, which cascades in an amazing formation. I was fortunate to be right behind the guide, who guided us expertly up the 180ft high falls, directing my every step, so as not to misstep. The water is quick flowing and pretty strong, so water shoes are essential, and you will get very wet! Leave phones, cameras and extra clothes in a locker.They showed us all the fun spots for quick showers, bum slides etc, all with photo opportunities. This was one of our favorite excursions. Thanks to our fantastic guides! The dvd does provide great memories for afterwards.

This is our 2nd time to Mystic Mountain, we had a great time, first getting up to the mountain on sky lift then riding the 5 zip lines with Michael and "Gerber Baby". They really made it special and they were very funny!! The Bob sled is also really great and our kids loved it. After all of this we strolled in the gardens, went to the top of the building over the restaurant and saw the most wonderful views. Then we had lunch it was reasonable priced and very good. They also had a variety of local venders and a gift shop.

Climbing up the limestone of a high waterfall? No problem. Especially if you have the guides/life-guards our group had. They were competent, attentive and helpful, while being funny at every turn... Once at the top, we were guided through lush gardens with many kinds of flowering and medicinal plants. Large aviaries with different types of parrots and other colorful tropical birds, reptiles (big and small), and plenty information about the local environment and culture (displayed in a small museum, and also told by our nature-guide) completed the tour. All the animals and plants are very well cared for and treated. The park also has a bar/grill restaurant, entertainment plaza, a photo and curio shops. We loved it!

We visited it a few days ago. Apparently, the name is always confused. We were told is it called the Enchanted Garden. Whatever the name, do visit. Lots of waterfalls, birds, amazing trees, plants, flowers and son on.
