Amazing tour!
Our private tour in and around Ocho Rios was truly one of the highlights of our trip. Dalton was an incredible guide! Knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely passionate about sharing Jamaica’s culture. We learned so much about local traditions, food, and even the different plants we passed along the way.
Honestly, we learned more in just a few hours on this tour than we did during the rest of our entire 7-day stay. Dalton made everything engaging and personal, answering all our questions and tailoring the experience to us.
If you’re visiting, this is an absolute must-do—we couldn’t recommend Dalton more!

Excellent driver! Highly...
Excellent driver! Highly recommend! He was waiting on us after we cleared customs with our baggage. He had some nice drinks in a cooler for us in a very new mini van. We had great conversation the entire ride from Montego Bay airport to Runaway Bay. He pointed out all the hotels and cool spots along the way. Great way to start a vacation!

Quest is the Best!
We had an incredible time with Quest!! The communication with Dalton was great. He was able to accommodate us even when our cruise was delayed and always responded back promptly.
A HUGE shoutout to Albert, our driver! He made sure we had the best time visiting Jamaica! When we were driving between sites, he gave us the history of Jamaica and tons of fun facts. He allowed us to stop at stores on the way back and ensured everything was perfect!
Typically, I would book through the cruise ship company but am so glad I booked with Quest. They made this experience personal and private. We had a great time at the excursions and can’t wait to come back!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ More Than Just a Transfer – An Experience!
From the moment we landed at Ian Fleming International Airport, our experience was nothing short of amazing, and it was all thanks to our incredible driver, Albert.
Albert was waiting for us right at the airport — no confusion, no hassle — and whisked us straight to the lobby of the Riu Ocho Rios with ease. The same seamless service applied on our return trip, picked up right from the hotel lobby and delivered safely back to the airport. You honestly couldn't ask for a smoother experience.
But here's the thing — this was SO much more than just a transfer. Albert turned what could have been a simple A-to-B drive into an unforgettable introduction to the island. He went out of his way to give us a little tour along the route, sharing his incredible knowledge of Jamaica — the best places to visit, hidden gems to explore, and local tips you won't find in any guidebook. His passion for the island was truly infectious!
On top of all that, Albert was one of the most personable, kind, and fun people we met during our entire trip. He was also a very safe driver, which gave us complete peace of mind on the road. He truly went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and well taken care of every step of the way.
We will definitely be using this service again on our next visit to Jamaica, and I would wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone flying into Ian Fleming Airport. Don't just book a transfer — book the Albert experience. You won't regret it!

Great experience!
Our driver Courtney picked us up on time from the hotel, took us to a lovely view of Ocho Rios on the way to the lagoon, and was very friendly and courteous. The lagoon experience was like nothing else we’ve encountered before. We were worried whether we would see much luminosity in the water as it was nearly a full moon, but it did not fail, it was very bright, like blue led light in the water. The boatmen, sorry cannot remember their names, were also very helpful, took some pictures of us on their phones and air-dropped them onto our phones for free. We stayed in the water maybe for 15-20 minutes, which was plenty. The water was very warm.

A Taste of Real Jamaican Culture
This private food tour in Montego Bay, Jamaica was an incredible experience and a highlight of our trip. Having a private guide made everything feel personal and relaxed, and we were able to truly enjoy each stop without feeling rushed. The food was authentic, flavorful, and a perfect introduction to Jamaican cuisine.
We got to try a variety of local dishes and visit spots we never would have found on our own. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and shared great insight into the culture, history, and food scene of Montego Bay, which made the experience even more meaningful.
If you’re visiting Montego Bay and want to experience real Jamaican food in an intimate setting, this private food tour is a must-do. Highly recommend!

Great Option Instead of Cruise Ship Excursion
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.

Glad we made it
Both excursions were so much fun and actually a mild mark on our bucket list. The guides at each tour were awesome. However, our driver to and from the excursions was awful. His driving was crazy and wild. He left us at Dunn’s River to pick up other people at another excursion. We left our excursion early because he told us to be out front at a certain time. We end up waiting 30 minutes before he came back. I had to call and text the office to find out what was happening. Once picked up, he proceeded to tell me we basically finished the excursion and we didn’t miss anything. I don’t think that should be told to someone who has spent their money and traveled so far for the experience. These excursions were fun and worth it, but that transfer driver Rajesh was awful

Fabulous boat and great staff
The entire team was so welcoming a d the boat was so nice. My family was celebrating my mom’s 60th bday and Vaughn and his team decorated the boat for her which was so thoughtful. We bought our own drinks and snacks on the boat. We swam whenever they stopped the boat amd felt safe knowing the team was nearby. Theres an inside area, and 3 levels (O explored all three) I booked the 3 hour session but just like the reviews said I could have stayed even longer, it was so fun. Highly recommend and would come back

Best natural falls without the tourist frenzy
Beautiful falls, great walk through the river, multiple falls, and jungle. Our river guide, Kimarley, was great - fun, patient, low key, provided great info along tour. Be prepared for a great workout in the cool river water for the majority of the experience. The included lunch was delicious—my curry chicken was made with wild turmeric growing on the property. Seems like a family run business, all those at property were friendly and welcoming—including the domino players! Treacherous 90 minute drive from Negril due to road conditions, so be prepared if you’re prone to car sickness. Our driver Damien was familiar and knew when to slow down and when to hit the gas. Overall, highly recommended if you want a natural excursion away from the beach and tour group crowds.

The photographer is super amazing.
I would like to take this time to recognize the photographer. I did not catch his name however it was him who made my b-day photos memorable. The rest of the staff was a mess, specially the owner. To the photographer thank you for being super kind and patient. My pictures turned out better than I anticipated them to.

10/10 Across the Board!
My driver’s name is Mark. He took such great care of me during my transport. He took the time to get my favorite genre of music to play to make the ride more enjoyable. We stopped for pictures at the Negril signage (10/10 photographer!) We also stopped for authentic jamaican cuisine and the jerk chicken and bammy was incredible!!!!!!! I got a private driver, personal DJ, photographer and perfect food suggestions all in one. Most importantly I arrived to my hotel safely and in a timely manner. This was honestly one of my best travel experiences, it set the bar so high for the rest of my vacation. I will be booking my return transfer through them again and when I return I know who to book!
