Explore the Green Grotto Caves

West of Ocho Rios on Jamaica’s north coast at Discovery Bay, the Green Grotto Caves boast both cultural and historical significance. Sign up for an hour-long guided tour for the chance to explore these stunning caverns. Both time and tide have played a part in carving the limestone caves, which are limed with green algae that gives them their name. Over the centuries, the caves were used as shelter by Jamaica’s first settlers and as a storehouse for the island’s beloved rum. Step inside to discover the crystal-clear Grotto Lake sitting in an inner cavern, where its overhead is filled with stalactites and stalagmites. At the end of the tour you’ll see a beautiful cave pool known as the “Wishing Well”, where you can toss in a coin and make a wish!
