Top Ocho Rios Day Trips - page 3

Godfrey was amazing! He had great suggestions and had us back to the ship in plenty of time! Our guys at the falls were just as amazing. We had Stucky as our guide and Craig was our photographer/ videographer. We were so impressed by their ability to remember everyone’s individual names. We paid for the pictures and they were totally worth it!

Amazing experience! Odain was a punctual and courteous guide and we loved having such a personal experience with the private tour. Due to weather we were unable to go to Blue Hole but Dunn’s River falls was an absolute blast! Would recommend this to any one looking for adventure in Jamaica

Highly recommend! A great activity for adrenaline junkies. Good variety of activities from water tubing to climbing the falls and also the blue hole. You need to be brave not for the feint of heart!! But really good fun along the way and nice group to enjoy the experience with. Excellent friendly drivers and tour guides. Bring some small bills for tips which are very deserved. Attended as part of a cruise to Ocho Rios port. A must do activity when in the area. Ps get the jerk chicken from Linda’s!

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.

I booked this trip with my group of three friends after our MSC cruise bamboo rafting excursion was cancelled. There was a similar experience available from MSC. However, the cost was around $130/ person for the same experience. This tour was well worth the cost. It was around $33/person for the round trip shuttle escort to Dunn’s River and shopping. Then, admission to Dunn’s River is $25 USD for non-Jamaicans. Our shuttle driver, Craig, picked us up from the Ocho Rios cruise terminal port, drove us to Dunn’s River, helped us get set up to climb, explained how the Dunn’s River climb worked, waited for us, and took us to a requested shopping and dining area in Ocho Rios near the port. We arrived at Dunn’s River before 1pm and the crowds were very reasonable. My group was able to take its time to climb in two hours and hang out on the beach. Craig was very friendly during the entire afternoon. I would definitely book with this company again over the cruise excursion. CLA Tours offers a better deal with 10/10 vibes and the tour is customizable for groups with personalized shopping stops.

10/10 there was constant communication before the excursion which made me more confident things would go well. Our driver Michael was great, the staff at horseback riding made me feel safe and tended to. I chose to book outside of the Cruise line because according to them i was over there weight limit. River ride was relaxing and beutiful staff was great. I enjoyed taking the drive through the city to get to the excursions. I can definitely say I would do this again 10/10 recommend!!
