Incredible experience! A must-do for sure!

Sara_L, Dec 2025
The tour guides were absolutely wonderful, keeping everything fun, funny, and safe. We absolutely LOVED all the jumps available—one of which was a 15-foot jump, and another like a tarzan swing! So much fun! We saw a 10-year-old do the jumps AND a 76-year-old do the jumps as well. So no matter your age, you’re sure to have a ton of fun!

We had a great time! Blue...

We had a great time! Blue Hole was not super busy, but we weren’t there long. I would have liked to have had more time jumping and swimming there. Overall we had a great time and fun experience. The driver that picked us up and took us to and from the excursion was on time and very nice.

We went to Dunn’s River...

We went to Dunn’s River Falls and then we went to Blue Hole. We had a great time. Our driver explained everything and assisted us with meeting up with our guides at each experience.

Family Fun!

We had a great time. Be sure you are ready and stable to cross running water with support. The team was great. I would not recommend small children who are unable to follow instructions.

The best !

Gorgeous experience walking through the natural walkways of waterfalls and holes. Refreshingly cold but keeps you cool for the rest of the walk.

260 pounds, not a strong swimmer but I did it!

Sara_V, Aug 2022
My family of 5 did this tour through Kool Jamaica Tours. It’s about 2 hours long and it was the best experience ever! My boyfriend is Haitian and felt like he was back in Haiti jumping in his local neighborhood River lol I mainly booked it for the kids (ages 11,17,19). When we first got to the cruise port there was a young lady there with a notebook for all the people like us that had booked independently and not through the cruise line. She confirmed our names and the ship we were with and told us to stand aside for a moment and as soon as our driver was there she let us know. There were ALOT of buses for other excursions so her help was very appreciated. The driver picked us up at the port, plus 2 others from the same ship, plus 4 others from a hotel and we were on our way. At the Blue hole our guides gave us life jackets and helped us every step of the way. I’m 260 lbs and not a strong swimmer actually not a swimmer at all so I was terrified but once I did the first jump I was so proud of myself and it gave me the courage to do the rest of the jumps. My kids all did them too including my 11 yr old and it was great. There is a guide at the top who helps you jump and a guide at the bottom who helps you swim out. It is a lot of walking on an uneven path as we go higher through forest to get to the next swimming hole so be ready to work those calves. Mine were sore for about 2 days after but that’s because I do not exercise at all, but I still do not regret it. My boyfriend loved it, our kids loved it, and I loved it. The current of the river is not strong enough to take you but it is strong enough to take your shoes so make sure to have water shoes. They are absolutely necessary.
