one day stop over in jamaica

We will be stopping in Jamaica for one day of our cruise. i would like to know if my sightseeing plan is workable. we have about 6 hours on the island. I would like to see Dunn's River Falls, go tubing on the White River and stop at Prospect Plantation. If time permits i would also like to stop at the Wassi Art studio. Does anyone know if these places are near each other? Any advice would be welcome.

All do-able within 6 hours but you'll be rushing around too much....especially if you take your cruise ship tour buses. Try Carolyn Barrett at barrettadventures.com for smooth travelling, jumping the queues.
I'd advise dropping the White River tubing.

I agree, contact Carolyn.

I'd rather go tubing than visit Prospect but I guess that's a subjective thing. I might prefer tubing to Dunn's too but Dunn's is really quite beautiful, and fun if you're up for the climb. Crowded as heck though, especially on cruise ship days....

kimberly, is the tubing anywhere near Dunn's River Falls? We'll probably use a taxi from one to the other.

Very close. The White River is just east of Ochi, Dunn's is just west. Less than 10 miles, maybe more like 5 if memory serves....
