Top Jamaica Day Trips

Bus can get very full! All squashed in, but adds to the fun! Take plenty of small bills with you to hand out to the children you will meet.They will pester you for money, give one, expect a queue of 10 to form behind! Some older kids were a bit more pushy, jumping off cliffs at the bars where we stopped, then asking for money for their "show". The bars were amazing, from single shacks in the countryside, to posh beach side with amazing views. Have been on this trip 3 times now, and different ones added.A very rustic and authentic experience away from your resort.

Awesome time! Amazing transport crew. No matter what they will make sure you get back where you need to go! Kirk and Marcel were amazing! Bus driver made the experience fun and all of the tour guides they put us with at the falls were amazing. Just make sure to bring some cash!

Its a long ride over roads that have been damaged by the hurricane - but worth it. The place show still signs of damage - however the falls are a very nice natural experience - not at all like Dunns (disney falls) - The man showed us lots of nature. And our driver Damien was exceptional. Wear water shoes and take money for the local produce - Would not recommend this for anyone with walking issues or unsteady of foot as it involves climbing & walking on uneven river bed. There was only one group of 4 people there when we went.

We were on a Royal Caribbean cruise to Falmouth, Jamaica and booked this tour with Viator. They were very communicative about where to meet. Unfortunately and fortunately, there weren’t enough people so we opted to pay more for a private tour with them. Copely was our driver and tour guide. He picked us up in a clean, comfortable tour van. Copely is a native Jamaican and he was absolutely wonderful. We had great conversations for the few hours we drove to St. Ann’s and back. If you love Bob Marley, you take this tour. We got to see his childhood home and his mausoleum which is on the property. On the way back we stopped at a restaurant for some authentic curried goat and jerk chicken of course. We also tried some fruit cake. Great guide, great tour!

It was a fun day! River tubing portion takes around 45 minutes total with 30 of that on the water. Very nice river guides. Short drive away is the Bamboo Beach club. Nice setup with a beach bar and plenty of places to relax. Food was local flavor and very good.

I'll start with the great! Carlos, our guide and driver, was amazing. Very friendly and we enjoyed his commentary. Highly recommend him as a tour guide. Next, the river guide, Duane was friendly and informative and we felt very safe throughout the whole river run. Crazy how they ride stomach down on their tubes and guide us here and there like that! Bamboo Beach Club was very nice. We had chairs reserved for us )thru the tour) which made it nice to get off the bus and go right to our chairs. The included lunch was good...jerk chicken and yellow ride. Drinks were cold and strong and yummy! Now, getting to all that goodness was not as pleasurable. The chaos at the port led to us not leaving there until after 10:15. After rushing off the ship, there were plenty of people there who worked for Bamboo Beach club, but only a few had any idea what was going on. They took buses and buses of VIP Beach Club people to THEIR buses, while we stood there as there were only 11 of us it seemed they were looking for a smaller bus to take just us (that is how we got the wonderful Carlos...he has his own bus/company that Regae/Bamboo Beach must have contracted to take us) The ride to the river was closer to 50 minutes (only 2 ships docked in Ocho Rios) therefore setting us back even further. Becasue of the delays we had zero time to shop at port when we got back. A 5 hour excursion took 6.5 mostly due to the chaos at the port. I realize they are a secondary excursion vendor and would not be give priority for set up to receive passengers, but a better system of getting off and onto buses needs to be implemented. I will also say, they were the ones in charge of getting even the Carnival excursions onto buses...definitely not efficient like Carnival usually is. The tour, the guides/driver and the river run was amazing and worth it for sure.

Should you be fortunate to be hosted by Petal and Shipley you are guaranteed to have a memorable time . From pick up to drop off they were unbelievably attentive , knowledgable , welcoming and friendly . One love !! The trip was amazing value for money seeing as we visited 3 different attractions . Firstly, we visited the black river and was lucky enough to have a great guide and spotted at least 10 friendly crocodiles and lots of wildlife . The skipper even shook hands with one . The YS falls were amazing . However, due to recent heavy rainfall the current was very strong . Great place . Lastly, we visited Appleton Estate . We had a great lunch and the tour was hosted by Peter who was funny, knowledgeable and informative . The rum tasting was good fun . The journey home was an experience due to a heavy downpour of rain and Shippy navigated us safely home through mainly floods and cajs 😂 Petal served some light refreshments on the way back which made the 3 hour journey back most pleasurable . One love !!! 🇯🇲🇯🇲

Bradford was amazing! He took us to get some Jamaican beef patties. The best I've had. He took us souvenir shopping, and he stopped and let us get a picture in front of the Negril sign. He took us on to Margaritaville and Rick's Cafe where we had a great time. He was very informative on the Jamaican culture. He took good care of us and we had an amazing time.
