Top Ocho Rios Day Trips

What a great day! Being able to customize our experience with an affordable private tour was amazing. The communication from the tour operator was outstanding from the time of booking. Our driver, Dwayne, was wonderful to talk with, was on time, and drove us comfortably to all of our stops. We chose Green Grotto and then Dunn’s River Falls. After the falls, Dwayne asked what we would like to do next. He took us to a great shop where we could find everything we needed, including Blue Mountain Coffee. He also helped us pick up mangos and even offered a fruit we hadn’t tried before—absolutely delicious. For lunch, instead of the usual spot most tour companies go to, we went to Juici Patties. I’d heard so much about them and they truly lived up to the reputation. I would recommend this tour to everyone. We went at our own pace and did exactly what we wanted. A fantastic, affordable private tour! Thank you Dwayne!

This tour was hands down one of the highlights of our Jamaica trip! Sean with Courtney Taylor Tours was absolutely incredible from start to finish (seriously, give this man a raise). He kept the drive fun and engaging the entire day, sharing local history and facts about St. Ann’s and St. Mary’s Parish, pointing out landmarks, and constantly checking in to make sure we were having a good time and being treated fairly everywhere we stopped. He even made sure souvenir vendors weren’t too pushy, which we really appreciated. The excursion itself was the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation. We started with river tubing through a gorgeous canopy area that was peaceful and beautiful. Then came Blue Hole - definitely one of the highlights of our Jamaica trip. Our guide there (nicknamed “young Bob Marley”) made the experience unforgettable - super personable, encouraging, and fun. We climbed parts of the falls, jumped and dove into the pools, and laughed the entire time. Sean also took us to Linda’s for lunch (not included), and honestly, it ended up being some of the best authentic Jamaican food we had the whole trip. If you’re in the area, GO. You won’t regret it. We finished the day with a laid-back horseback ride along the beach and ocean, which was the perfect way to wind down after the excitement earlier in the day. Another huge plus - our group only had four people total (my husband and I plus one other couple), so it felt personal, relaxed, and never overcrowded or rushed. 10/10 experience. Highly recommend this tour, and if you can, absolutely request Sean as your guide. He truly made the entire day even better.

If you are in Jamaica...Ochi to be exact...you MUST experience the Limestone massage in addition to the rafting experience. We had one of the most beautiful day for the activity, and it was relaxing and super beautiful. Service, from pick up to drop off, was "chef kiss".

River rafting in Jamaica was absolutely fantastic! The scenery was breathtaking, the ride was smooth yet exciting, and the atmosphere was so relaxing. It felt like the perfect blend of adventure and tranquility. This is a must‑do activity if you’re visiting Jamaica. The guide are friendly and attentive, making sure you feel safe while also having fun. It’s a great way to enjoy the natural beauty of the island and create unforgettable memories.

This vendor was excellent. Due to storms the night before, the Blue Hole was closed. They allowed us to customize the tour and the driver “Woody” was a local, very knowledgeable and friendly. I strongly recommend this vendor over a cruise line booking (heard terrible complaints from friends who used VV booking for their excursion)

Great experience! I had my own personal tour guide to shiw me around beautiful Jamiaca. The atv riding was my favorite part, the horseback riding was right behind it. The bamboo rafting was fun but to my fellow ladies there is a massage included. I did have a guide on the raft tour that was on the unprofessional side of things but I did let my guide know that I was uncomfortable at certain points and he addressed it to the raft place and assured me that that wouldn't happen again. I had an amazing time!

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!

Really insightful tour to understand the origins and story of the great man, Bob Marley. We were lucky to have the legendary Captain Crazy as our guide who was an amazing character and storyteller – full of charm wit and endless jokes. Crazy by name, crazy by nature.
