"However, I've just visited in October, and in the four days we were there, we only had an hour of rain," she added.
According to Heather, with so much to see and do, it is the perfect destination for everyone. While calling out her followers to visit the island once in their lives, she emphasized, "Whether you want to lounge on a white sandy beach or want to explore the culture, sights, and history of the island."

At about 180 feet (55 m) high and 600 feet (180 m) long, the waterfalls are terraced like giant natural stairs with several small lagoons. The falls empty into the Caribbean Sea at the western end of a white-sand beach. Climbing the waterfalls is a popular activity and takes about an hour with the help of tour guides from the park. There are stairs and a pathway alongside the falls for those who do not want to get wet or are unable to manage the falls.Notably, the Mystic Mountain is a rainforest adventure park located in Ocho Rios. Travellers can take the cable car up through the rainforest where you can participate in some thrilling activities like the Rainforest Bobsled, inspired by the Jamaica Bobsled team.
