Ocho Rios is arguably the best cruise port in the entire Caribbean for cannabis access. This is home to the original Kaya Herb House — the first licensed cannabis dispensary in the Caribbean — and it’s close to the cruise terminal.

How to access

  1. Walk or take a short taxi to Kaya Herb House — the flagship location in Ocho Rios
  2. Get your medical authorization on-site — ~10 minutes, ~US$10
  3. Browse and purchase — full product range including flower, edibles, concentrates
  4. Enjoy the lounge, food, and music — Kaya is a full hospitality experience

Why Ocho Rios is the best port

  • Kaya Herb House is the most established, tourist-friendly herb house in Jamaica
  • Close proximity to the cruise terminal
  • Full lounge with food (pizza, tapas) — you can make an afternoon of it
  • Staff are experienced with cruise passengers and the time constraints

Important reminders

  • Consume everything on shore. Nothing goes back to the ship.
  • Budget your time. Authorization + shopping + consumption = plan for 2-3 hours minimum.
