HAL guests Stuart and Sandy Newman recently cruised the Caribbean on Westerdam and sent in these pictures from their Bobsled Jamaica and Dunn’s River Falls shore excursion at Mystic Mountain in Ocho Rios, Jamaica.

In Ocho Rios HAL passengers can enjoy a memorable shore excursion at Mystic Mountain— just 10 minutes by bus from the cruise pier— with stunning panoramic views of Ocho Rios, the rainforest and the sparkling Caribbean Sea coupled with a close up birds and indigenous plants along the chairlift’s aerial cruise through a bountiful tropical rainforest. The 40-minute Sky Explorer tour is easy for all ages.

If you want to have fun in Ocho Rios Jamaica, pay a visit to Dolphin Cove resort. You will have the chance to swim with Betta. You will ask yourself who is Betta? She is an amazing dolphin.

The instructor told us that she can move her eyes separately as well as look in different directions at the same time. And this is nothing. In order to detect an object she can send a sound wave that acts like sonar. She can even detect if a woman is pregnant as they will perceive the heart beat of the baby.

Well these are senses that I would like to have actually, any woman would like to have those skills. Am I right Ladies? She was sweet and happy like a puppy.
