What travellers are saying
- Karen M2 contributionsThis eco attraction was outstanding. Not only do they introduce the Jamaican jungle plants as you trek through the awesome pathways all around the waterfalls, they guide you on a fun-filled wet adventure down the falls. Shout out to Tyhair, our tour guide who took several pictures of us with our Waterproof camera and literally CARRIED me across some areas that my artificial heel would have given me problems. Aces to this tour, a must do!Written March 12, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- macleank2018Hillsborough, Canada26 contributionsLearning about the trees and plants that are native to Jamaica was an interesting aspect to this park. Though we didn’t climb the falls here it was a beautiful view. There is a bar and eatery onsite. Different animals to look at. There is a petting animal for some animals but our guide didn’t take us through that area.Written March 8, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Christopher SBelfast, UK112 contributionsThis beach costs $200 JMD to enter which is well worth it. There are no vendors trying to sell you stuff and you feel that your belongings are safe while you are in the water.
The concrete jetty in the picture is long since gone and fallen into the sea.Written November 29, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

But this was amazing. We got so much education and visualization of the product and process. The folks we met were so passionate about what they did and making sure everyone was educated about it. And it's NOT just for people who smoke, I don't and I thoroughly enjoyed myself.Written March 15, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Mandy11 contributionsA cute drive up Fern Gully as we had rented a car. Right at the top there's a view point with a bar, which we accidentally across. Beautiful views of lush greens. Be careful of you do step out though, it's a prime spot to be motten by mosquitos. We drove back through it to get to the main town but it was just as lovely and mesmerising.Written January 17, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- LovinHotelLifeBoston, MA593 contributionsFirst off, unless you do some research, this is not an easy beach to see. Locals know how to access it from the road and aren't exactly glad to see tourists there. We had Captain Tony from Sunshine Tours take us in a private boat for a reasonable sum. I would recommend this tour provider. It's a cool boat trip out and he lets you stay for an hour, or so.
The actual James Bond filming location waterfall is to the left ... they built a ministerial house there and guards armed with attack dogs keep tourists away. There is a smaller falls with a natural whirlpool next to it, which tourists are allowed to frolic in. The water from the small falls is cold and mixes with the warm sea water below. If you dare to, hop in the chilly natural whirlpool created by roots and stone, just be careful as it can get slippery.
The beach itself is beautiful ... one of the top beaches we visited with golden sand and emerald green water. You can walk along the cliffs ... just don't leave a towel and shoes/clothes, etc. on the beach because they will likely not be there when you return. The locals can give you some icy stares for being there ... but for the most part leave you be. Although, a group of 3 scary looking dudes tried to call us over and Captain Tony basically told us that was a good time to leave.
As a James Bond fan, this was a must see for me and it was well worth the money we paid to trek there. You'll want a local guide. We returned and watched Dr. No and anytime I hear the song Underneath the Mango Tree, I'll think of my trip to Laughing Waters. It was an adventure, for sure, and the dip in the natural whirlpool with jungle on one side and beach on the other isn't something you can find just anywhere.Written October 13, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Drawback is free parking is full. Paid 300 for paid parking and not paved, rough.
Plus guy trying to sell boat tours blocking the main entrance.
Always hate coming to Oche and getting these people trying to sell me boat ride and such. Or sell drugs.Written March 2, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Plenty of places to sit and relax if you just want to chill.Written February 1, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Nancy60805Jacksonville, FL106 contributionsVery nice beach, on one side, and the other side where the catamarans are, and the kayaks, it is a little rocky.Written February 5, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
