Ocho Rios, Jamaica is a exciting cruise ship port with waterfalls and bamboo boat rides. In this video, we highlight our experience with Omar Tours Jamaica to see if going with a local tour company was worth the effort. Lots to unpack, from Blue Hole falls to Bamboo Rafts. Plus our usual port basics (bathrooms, taxis, money)! See why we think this tour may have been our best local cruise excursion in the Western Caribbean!
