Itinerary

Fern Gully

30 min

A former river bed, it is now three miles of magnificent ferns and hardwood trees. Jamaica has more than 500 species of ferns, and you can see at least 300 of them in this dark, shaded gorge.

Until an earthquake around 1907, the gorge was one of the eight flowing rivers of the Ocho Rios area. The river disappeared during the earthquake and the river bed was turned into a paved road.
Stop 2

30 min

The district of Claremont was first called "Finger Post" until it was renamed in honour of the first house built there, "Clermont House". The countryside around the town has for centuries been home to the wealthy landed gentry, and still today is dotted with estate houses. The wealth associated with the area is seen in the architecture and plan of the town; the shops of Claremont High Street exhibit fine architectural detail and finishing.
Bamboo

30 min

Bamboo is a settlement in The Saint Ann Parish, Jamaica. With a population of a few thousand people. Bamboo used to be known as Little Kent
Stop 4

Runaway Bay

It is a notable tourist destination located 16 km (9.9 mi) west of Ocho Rios,[1] and slightly east of Discovery Bay, where Christopher Columbus landed in 1494. he name derives from its having been an escape route for runaway slaves.
