Guest Hook Travel Guides Ocho Rios, Jamaica | Page 6

4 FOR THE ACTIVE... Sailing Charters... A trip to Jamaica wouldn't be complete without an excursion on Caribbean waters. There are ample opportunities to go sailing, snorkeling and sport fishing. We recommend Cool Runnings Catamaran Cruises. For the undersea adventurer, enjoy sailing along the coast and snorkeling over the Caribbean reef. For a romantic evening, Catamaran Cruises offers a sunset excursion. The night begins with a DJ spinning dance beats and ends with a dinner of Jamaican fare under the stars. And the adultsonly Wet and Wild Cruise will have you saying, "What happens in Jamaica stays in Jamaica." Golfing... Jamaica's Ocho Rios is home to several dazzling golf courses, such as Breezes in Runaway Bay, a championship course that's only a 7-minute drive away from our villa. Day passes to the resort can be purchased, and both club and shoe ren tals are available. Sandals Golf & Country Club in Ocho Rios is another beautiful course tucked away in the hills. A convenient 10-minute drive away from the villa, this club also offers rentals. Caddies serve each guest, and an 18-hole game with a cart will cost $30. PGA golf lessons are available and can be reserved through the resort's tour desk. Scuba Diving and Snorkeling... Caribbean waters are home to all varieties of angelfish and butterfly fish, barracudas and bass, snapper fish, and so much more. Garfield Diving Station offers visitors an up-close look at the world under the sea. Take a SCUBA diving lesson with the Station's seasoned dive instructors. Special dives take guests inside a nearby shipwreck, and SCUBA certification courses are also offered. For those who wish to stay in shallow waters, the Station offers snorkeling off the Ocho Rios coastline for $30 per hour. You can also see some of the amazing marine life without getting wet on the glass-bottom boat tour. Helicopter Tour... There's nothing quite like being up in the sky for appreciating the beauty of Jamaica! It's an experience that you'll likely remember long after you've left. We suggest Captain John's Island Hoppers. There are 3 different flight options to choose from, depending on your budget and what you'd like to experience. Everything from a James Bond tour (with a Dr No reference and a view of Ian Fleming's home), to a full island tour where you'll take in places like Spanish Town and Kingston. No doubt, this is a fantastic experience. To make a reservation visit the office near Reynolds Pier in Ocho Rios or call 876.974.1285
