Falmouth, Jamaica Cruise Port 

The port in Falmouth is unique in that it was designed as a joint venture between the Port Authority of Jamaica and the Royal Caribbean Cruise Line. This design makes the port an entertaining destination in and of itself. 

The Historic Falmouth Cruise Port area is gated, and houses many stores, restaurants and bars that are popular with cruise passengers! Outside of the gates, you’ll find Old Town, where you can walk and visit some of the local landmarks.

With only two berths, this port is less busy than the nearby Montego Bay and Ocho Rios ports of call. 

What Cruise Passengers Need to Know About the Falmouth Cruise Port

The country of Jamaica has its own currency, the Jamaican Dollar (abbreviated J$). However, like most Caribbean islands, in the Falmouth port, vendors will accept U.S. dollars as well. 

The official language spoken in Jamaica is English, a result of the country’s many years under British rule. However, while English is the official language, don’t be surprised if you hear Jamaican Patois, a local creole language, spoken in informal settings.

The time zone on the island of Jamaica (and in the city of Falmouth) is the Eastern Time Zone. (EST)

The island of Jamaica has a hot and humid tropical climate. The average high temperatures range from 80-86 degrees F with lows between 75-80 degrees F. 

Humidity in Falmouth is constantly on the high side, ranging between 75 to 78%.

Getting Around Falmouth, Jamaica

As cruise ship passengers exit the cruise ship into the Falmouth cruise port you’ll enter a gated retail complex. Passengers concerned about safety can feel comfortable within this gated area. 

Just outside the gates is the historical town of Falmouth. It’s easy to walk around “Old Town” Falmouth. However, cruise passengers will want to use the usual caution when walking down the streets or alleyways.

To visit beyond the port of Falmouth, it’s best to book shore excursions through your cruise line or a reputable third party tour provider.  

The gated retail complex in Falmouth is easy to get around on foot and is also wheelchair accessible. 

Public Transit

Just before you exit the main terminal for both piers, you’ll find an information booth and a large lot where you can meet tour buses and vans for shore excursions. 

Nearby you will find a fixed-rate taxi stand, with non-haggling rates posted to nearby sites. 

You can also catch a bus from Falmouth to Montego Bay on the Montego Bay Metro. The trip will take about an hour, but public transportation should be used cautiously since there are not many buses and departure times available. 

The 10 Best Falmouth Shore Excursions 

You can experience Jamaica’s unique culture through music, food, and activities in Falmouth. Here are some of the best Falmouth Shore Excursions.

1. Hike the Dunn’s River Falls in Ocho Rios

The incredible terraced waterfall is surrounded by lush greenery and makes for epic photos. The falls at this natural phenomenon are 180 feet high and 600 feet long and takes about an hour and a half to climb to the top. 

Tour guides are available to help you climb and document your adventure with photos and videos available for purchase. Be sure to wear a swimsuit and leave your phone/camera in the provided lockers because you are certain to get wet.

Transportation to Dunns River from Falmouth port will take about an hour in each direction, which will be included in your excursion.

2. Bamboo Rafting on Martha Brae River

Although the legend of the Martha Brae River includes treasure hunters and a witch, this excursion is more about relaxation than adventure. 

A guide with a long pole will direct your bamboo raft in the calm waters of Martha Brae River as you relax on a comfortable seat. Not only will you get to see the lush Jamaican countryside, but you’ll also get to hear entertaining stories, historical information, and possibly a song or two from your guide. 

The Martha Brae River is only 6 miles south of Falmouth and is a great place to spend time in Jamaica. 

3. Swing into the Blue Hole

This natural wonder is the best place for an adventurous excursion. You’ll hike up to a waterfall that ends in a gorgeous blue pool or “hole.” There are rope swings and cliff diving spots available. 

The rocks can be slippery so good closed-toed shoes are a must. The waters are rough so only strong swimmers should attempt to jump in. 

Blue Hole is about an hour and a half drive from the Falmouth port. 

4. Snorkel at Doctors Cave Beach

Doctor’s Cave Beach is the most popular beach day excursion for cruise travelers! This beautiful beach is about a 45-minute drive from the Falmouth port. If you’re going on a family cruise, this is a great excursion option.

You’ll find calm areas as well as optional beach activities, like water trampolines and kayaks. If you go with an organized day tour, the entry cost is typically included.

However, if you go on your own or with a guide, the entry to Doctors Cave Beach costs $7. There are loungers and umbrellas available to rent as well as snorkeling equipment. 

Food service is offered on the beach, however, be advised that it is often slow. It’s a good idea to order before you are hungry.

5. Relax at the Hilton Rose Hall Resort

You can spend your Jamaican port day relaxing at one of the island’s top all inclusive resorts at Hilton Rose Hall. This excursion includes round-trip transfers from the cruise port of Falmouth, and full access to Hilton’s private beach, pools, and waterpark. 

You can relax beach or poolside with unlimited lunch, snacks, and beverages. Depending on your ship’s timeline, you might only be able to spend between 3-5 hours at the resort. 

6. Explore the Green Grotto Caves

Nature enthusiasts will enjoy a visit to the Green Grotto caves, an excursion about 35 minutes from the Falmouth port. 

Visitors to the Green Grotto might see 9 of the 21 species of Jamaican bats that live here. The walking tour cost includes hard hats and knowledgable guides that teach about the storied history of the caves. 

At various times these caves have been known as the Runaway Bay Caves, Rum Caves, and Dairy Caves. They are currently named for the green algae that grow on their walls. 

7. Grab a Jamaican Patty at Juici Patties

This local favorite is a must-visit for Jamaican cuisine while you are docked in Falmouth. Ground beef, chicken, shrimp, or vegetables are mixed with spices and cooked inside a flaky pastry shell (like a hand pie). 

There are tasty Jamaican patties available within the gated port area, but if you want to go to #1-rated Juici Patties, it is about a five-minute walk from the port. 

We can attest to trying these out, and they are good!

8. Try Traditional Jamaican Food at Pepper’s Jerk Center

Kill two Jamaican flavors with one stone at Pepper’s Jerk Center, a short 8-minute walk or 3-minute taxi ride from the Falmouth Port. 

The customer service at this restaurant is great and the jerk chicken and rum punch will make you wish you had a longer port stay. 

9. Good Hope Plantation/Eco Adventure Outpost

Situated on a 2000-acre former sugar plantation, the Chukka Eco Adventure Outpost at Good Hope will give you a glimpse into Falmouth’s 18th century history and the opportunity to have some adventures. 

You can explore the immaculate grounds, tour the Good Hope Great House or participate in zip lining, bamboo rafting, river tubing, waterslides, and rum tasting. 

Good Hope is a 25-minute drive from the Falmouth port and is a wonderful place to see the natural beauty of Jamaica.  

10. Shop and Sample at the Historic Falmouth Cruise Port 

This port was designed to be a destination itself, with a wide open area between brick buildings in the British Georgian architecture style commonly found in Jamaica. 

Within the gated area you’ll find live music, food stands, restaurants, bars, arts and crafts vendors, and plenty of souvenirs. Try some famous Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee and Jamaican rum. There are enough stores to keep you busy for several hours in this clean and well-maintained port. 

One important thing to note, Margaritaville used to be a popular port attraction in Falmouth. Unfortunately, this location closed permanently in January 2023.

Port Royal, Jamaica

A cruise to Port Royal, Jamaica delivers adventure, pirate lore and luscious island scenery from its secluded location at the tip of a thin tombolo known as the Palisadoes. Once the wealthiest (and wickedest) town of the English New World, Port Royal has a storied past. It grew from a Taino fishing village into the virtual capital of Jamaica and was also a sinful hub for raucous buccaneers. In 1692, an earthquake and tsunami gobbled up more than half the town. Vestiges from the fallen Port Royal remain underwater, as the Western Hemisphere’s only sunken city. Hundreds of ships wait below the shimmering surface. Historic sites are a must on a Port Royal cruise. Visit Fort Charles, one of the oldest forts in Port Royal and go inside the Giddy House, a partially buried structure that makes some “giddy” when they try to stand up straight. For more sightseeing opportunities, Kingston is a 45-minute bus ride or a 25-minute taxi ride away. The Bob Marley Museum is one of the Kingston’s top-ranked things to do. Built from the musician’s home, it has been kept as it was when he lived there, and visitors can see his recording studio, bedroom, clothes and record collection. Nature lovers will have plenty of things to do in Port Royal and Kingston. Jamaica is cloaked in lush tropical rainforest with azure pools at the bottom of crystal waterfalls. The perfect day at the beach is just a boat ride away at Lime Cay.
