Top Ocho Rios Day Trips - page 9

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.

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!
