    Our experience with Island treasure tours was awesome. Our driver Romeo went over and beyond, he was amazing and made sure we were well taken care of. I will definitely be booking again. Thank you for the great experience

    Response from Host, June 2026

    Thank you for your feedback. We take all reviews seriously and would like to clarify a few points for future guests. First, our tour listing clearly states that lunch is NOT INCLUDED in this package. We are therefore unsure why your review suggests that a meal was promised as part of the tour. Regarding Rick's Cafe, it is one of Jamaica's most popular attractions and can become extremely busy, particularly during peak hours. While we understand your frustration with the wait time, food service at Rick's Cafe is managed entirely by their restaurant staff and is unfortunately outside of our control. Our driver informed us that your food order was placed, but before it was delivered, you chose to leave the restaurant and return to the vehicle. As a gesture of goodwill, our driver then took you and your friend to a local restaurant so you could enjoy authentic Jamaican cuisine. We are also surprised by this review, as our tour guide reported that you and your friend expressed that you had a great time throughout the day. In fact, you later contacted us about booking additional nightlife experiences with our company. We certainly regret that your dining experience at Rick's Cafe did not meet your expectations. However, it is important to distinguish between services provided by our company and those operated by third-party venues. We remain committed to delivering enjoyable, professional tours and appreciate the opportunity to clarify these facts.

    Viator will do anything for the sale

    I hate that the viator experience dims the great gentleman's shine. I booked through a viator agent and they provided me a booking link for my package which included the rafting with limestone massage, catamaran party cruise and Rick's café. I saw the rate and thought it was to good to be true and it was. Even had the agent cancel my booking for the cruise the next day. Booked and received several confirmations with itinerary of my 9 hour day. The rafting was amazing. Jason was the rafting captain and he was amazing and Romain was our great driver. Bless these great men!!! Got back in the van after the rafting and said next stop catamaran!!! Went bad from there. He said we only booked rafting. I'm showing him all evidence we had more and he basically had to take us back to the pick up point. Started a chat with viator support and even they were confused and resent my voucher to show the driver then somehow started back pedaling saying I didn't book anything but rafting. My booking, my email confirmation and my ticket says I have rafting, catamaran cruise and Rick's café. They basically said no I don't regardless of all my confirmations from them and said nothing they can do. I've disputed everything now when all I wanted was a credit.

    Thank you for sharing your feedback, and we're glad to hear that you enjoyed your bamboo rafting experience with Jason and that Romeo provided excellent service throughout your trip. We sincerely regret the confusion and disappointment you experienced regarding the remainder of your itinerary. As the local tour operator, we can only provide the services that are included in the booking details received from the booking platform. For your reservation, the booking information transmitted to us showed a Bamboo Rafting tour only, and our team fulfilled all services associated with that reservation. We understand that you received confirmations that appeared to include additional activities, and we can appreciate how frustrating it must have been to expect a catamaran cruise and Rick's Café visit only to learn otherwise on the day of your tour. Unfortunately, tour inclusions, pricing, and booking details are managed by the booking platform, and local operators do not have the ability to modify or add services that are not included in the reservation provided to us. We are pleased that Jason and Romeo made a positive impression despite the circumstances, and we will be sure to share your kind words with them. We hope that Viator is able to review your booking records and provide further clarification regarding the discrepancy you encountered. Thank you again for your feedback, and we wish you all the best.

    Do NOT book

    Kym_J, June 2025
    PLEASE READ. DO NOT BOOK. I would give this zero stars if I could. the operator asked me to give an honest review and here it is. $640 is entirely tooooooo much for this “experience”. The only thing worth it was the driver I had to pay $70 extra (not mentioned on the ad). The Bamboo rafting is the only thing we did and it was 20mins of a dirty and dingy raft in dirtier water. They literally told us they cut the ride short. The catamaran looks rusty and disgusting. Like an old fisher boat. I never went on it therefore never saw ricks cafe. So I spent $640 to spend 4 hrs in a car and 20mins on a bamboo raft.

    Response from Host, June 2025

    Thank you for sharing your feedback. I’d like to take this opportunity to address several points and clarify the situation, as your review doesn't fully reflect the experience provided. First, regarding the bamboo rafting: the ride lasted longer than 20 minutes. Due to heavy rainfall the day before, the river was higher than usual, which required the rafting captain to navigate more carefully for your safety. This extended the rafting experience. Additionally, the foot massage provided was also well over 20 minutes, so the claim that the rafting experience was only 20 minutes is inaccurate. Regarding the water clarity, yes, the river was not as clear due to the rain, but we still made sure to provide the experience you booked. We understand this may not have been ideal, but we do our best to accommodate all conditions. In the description on Viator, I make it very clear that there is an additional charge for guests who are not staying in Montego Bay. I even took the time to screen-share this information with you when you mentioned you hadn’t seen it during your booking process. Despite this, we still accommodated you even though your resort is an hour further than our usual pick-up area, which meant we had to drive an additional 2 hours round trip. Typically, there is a $35 extra charge for this, but I agreed to waive that fee and only asked that you leave an honest review to reflect the service you received. Finally, I must mention that the catamaran you described is part of our highest-selling tour and has received great feedback from many guests. These catamarans are modern, and this tour has been running successfully in Jamaica since last year. If the boat were truly in the condition you described, it would not be such a popular choice for tourists. While I regret that you didn’t fully enjoy the experience, your review does not capture the full scope of the efforts made on our end to accommodate your needs, even with the challenges of your location and last-minute booking. Thank you again for your feedback.

    Awesome

    Lack of training for guides

    Yasuo_M, June 2026
    Even though only bamboo rafting was booked, confirmation included catamaran riding. The guide was waiting outside the gate and the meeting place was unclear, and the guide did not look for him. The guide didn't even know where the toilet was because he didn't know much about the site. I asked to be shown to a place to eat, but they took me to a place for takeout lunches. However, email communication with the company was going well.

    Response from Host, June 2026

    Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry that your experience did not meet your expectations. To clarify, your booking was for the Bamboo Rafting tour only. While other options such as the Catamaran Cruise and Rick’s Café were available, they were not included in your reservation, so we could only provide the tour that was booked and paid for. As you were arriving by cruise ship, detailed meeting instructions were sent by email. We also attempted to contact you by phone and email when there was difficulty locating you, but did not receive a response. Our driver was waiting at the designated meeting point. Regarding lunch, the driver made the scheduled lunch stop, but your request to be dropped off and picked up an hour later was not possible due to the tour schedule and your required return time to the ship. We were surprised by the comments regarding the driver, as Bamboo Rafting is one of our most popular tours and you were assigned one of our most experienced drivers. Despite the language barrier, he did his best to assist your group throughout the day. At the end of the tour, all six members of your group expressed their appreciation and indicated that they had enjoyed the experience. While we respect all feedback, we do not believe this review accurately reflects what occurred during the tour.
