lvmypug Posted August 24, 2014 #1 Share Posted August 24, 2014 4 of us will be stopping in Ocho Rios in Nov. All of us are in our 60s. Our friends are not swimmers and none of us want to just sit at a beach all day. Not interested in zip lines or horseback riding. Any suggestions for tours or things to do?

Here is a sample of what Carnival offers that does not involve a beach. Other cruise lines have similar tours. http://www.carnival.com/Activities/Excursions/Port/OCJ Click on experiences to fine tune.

OCruisers Posted August 24, 2014 #3 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Check out what your ship is offering for shore excursions. Normally, there are some that go to plantations. Martha Brea Rafting is also one to consider. LuLu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KristyM79 Posted August 31, 2014 #4 Share Posted August 31, 2014 We did a dune buggy tour on Good Hope plantation. That was ok, but we saw that people on our bus were heading to the plantation for a Jamaican lunch. It looked pretty enjoyable and they all seemed happy. The grounds are beautiful.

Rare Lionesss Posted August 31, 2014 #5 Share Posted August 31, 2014 We have done zip lining and loved it. See what your ship has listed as an excursion. Sea Ya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EatSleepCruise Posted September 3, 2014 #6 Share Posted September 3, 2014 (edited) If you are not into water activities, a nice place to visit in Jamaica is Mystic Mountain we did an excursion that combined part of this attraction with Dunn River falls (also cool, but not if you do not swim). There are canopy ziplines, a bobsled ride (think alpine slide), as well as an aerial tram that takes you up and back. There are also some garden areas you can explore and other natural attractions. Shore Excursion group offers some combo tours there from Ochos Rio that includes transportation to and from your ship.
