Green Grotto Caves

Green Grotto Caves, located between Montego Bay and Ocho Rios, are significantly different from the Blue Hole, and earn their name from the green moss that grows on the cave walls. The Green Grotto, one of Jamaica's most popular caverns, is a massive labyrinth of caves that are interconnected and provide a top-notch attraction for history buffs and nature lovers alike.

Visitors can observe interesting stalagmites and stalactites, as well as other rock formations, on a trip into the caves that lasts approximately an hour or two. You might also see one of the several species of bats that reside inside, as well as other wildlife.

The Green Grotto is unique in that it has had a variety of names and functions in the past. The island's early indigenous peoples, as well as the Spanish and subsequently escaped slaves, are claimed to have used this as a hideaway. The Green Grotto Caves' historical significance also stems from their role as a hideaway for weaponry smuggling into Cuba between the two world wars.
