Once you see the water, you’ll have nothing on your mind except jumping in. Now, I’m far from being the bravest soul out there. I don’t just go around jumping into pools of water without knowing what’s in it. But there’s something about how blue and clean this part of the river is that makes it inviting.

To get in, you have a few options. You can jump in from a point that’s about 6 feet above the water, or for you athletic folks, there’s a rope you can grab on to, and swing in like Tarzan. You can also climb down the rocks if you don’t feel like jumping but I recommend you jump. Once your toes feel how cold the water really is, the rest of your body will refuse to follow. Just jump in and get it over with.

Bob sled

Hold onto your hat: this is one wild ride! Inspired by the famous Jamaican bobsled Olympic team, the Mystic Mountain Bobsled near the Dunn's River Falls is the park’s signature attraction, ranked by TripAdvisor.com as one of the top attractions in Ocho Rios Jamaica. You’ll be safely strapped into a custom-designed, high-tech sled and whooshed down a 1000-meter long track installed into the side of the mountain, completely driven by gravity: yes, Newton, it really works!
