For a truly unique local experience away from the crowds in Ocho Rios, a trip to the White River for some tubing with the family is a great option. You will tube along the beautiful White River surrounded by lush vegetation and get the opportunity to interact with locals who also use the river.

It is a very relaxing experience and shows you another more laidback side of Ocho Rios that is not promoted.

Fun, Fun, Fun…Adventure!!
