Shane_W, Apr 2024

We have got a very kind and excellent driver. The two parks we went are different but all are amazing.

Nice water day

Kimberly_S, Mar 2024

Our driver, Dwayne, was kind, friendly, and accommodating. First we went to the Blue Hole, which was about 1.5 hours away from our resort. Once there, we had a guide, Jaheil (I think that’s how his name is spelled) to take us around the Blue hole. He was great and super friendly. Then we drove about 20 minutes to Dunn’s water falls. We did not have a guide there and the entry to the falls was not included (as stated in the information about this tour) so we paid $75 (for three people) to get in. Once we were there it was easy to navigate and my 15 year old son loved it! Leaving the Falls, you had to go through an area with vendors who constantly asked you to buy something. There was also a little food stand. Over all, we had a nice time.

Perfect trip, ride and experience!

Ela_M, Mar 2024

Our driver Mark was excellent! Very clean, nice and comfortable car and ride. Gorgeous waterfalls, definitely must see when in Jamaica!

Great time

Mark_R, Feb 2024

Blue hole much better than Dunns River for those who have any adventurous spirit. If you afraid to jump into a pool of beautiful water than you will maybe like the falls more. Aka you a couch potatoe.

Blue Hole and Dunns River

Chad_G, Feb 2024

Wains Adventure Tours is who handled this tour for Viator. Our Driver Mark was very nice and informative. Went to Blue Hole first. It was awesome. Them back to Dunns River to climb the water fall it was Awesome also. Great day and we felt Safe the entire time. No issues!!

Must-see on your trip to Jamaica!!

Madison_M, Jan 2024

10/10 experience all the way around- had such a fun time climbing, jumping and swimming around Dunn Falls and Blue Hole. All of the guides were excellent and transportation was a breeze. Definitely the highlight of our trip :)

Not the actual Blue Hole. You will not make it back to your cruise ship in time. TOTAL NIGHTMARE!

Ruth_T, Dec 2023

My finance and I were scheduled to be picked up at a designated spot near the cruise port at 9:00am. Our guide was late and we were messaged telling us this and we had planned this trip to be back by 2:00pm so that was ok if the max time our excursion would be was 5 hours. So we didn't get picked up till about 10am. We thought we will still be back in time cause 5 hours from then is 3:00pm. So we started going towards Blue Hole because we didn't know how long it would take to get there. We are not local to the area, we don't know the area. We spent a long time driving there only to rush to buy one pair of water shoes. The driver told us to be back in 1 hour which we didn't know when that is because we left most of our stuff in the car and our Fitbit watches stopped working while in the water. But he also told the other guide who was going to lead us the rest of the way what time we had to be back by. We were then passed on to that other guide and then only have 10 minutes of bathroom time and then be rushed because we spent too long in the bathroom (which I timed was less than 10 min but it was also because there was also other ppl waiting to use the bathroom). After that we were rushed through the park to finally get to the rope jump area and spent only about 15 minutes there until we had to rush back again. My fiance stopped to buy one thing and then was told we took too long. And then part of the way back to the car our guide left us and just told us to wait there. We waited and since we were waiting we decided to get a coconut and sugar cane. We had thaaat much time to wait for our guide but not to look at the local vendors on the way back. And then the guide came back and told us "his cousin lost his way and he had to help show him how to get back." So we got back to the car and the driver/other guide in the car asked why we took so long (at this point he admitted we were only half an hour late getting back to the car). We started driving back and as it came close to 3:00 we started asking the driver how much longer it would take to get back to the port. We HAD to be back on board the ship by 4:30. Originally we had planned to be back by 2pm but then we were told we would be back by 3:00. Even if we were half an hour late that should have put us back at 3:30 even with the driver being late. But at this point (it was about 3:00 already) the driver said there's a lot of traffic and we're about an hour away which was a complete lie. So the driver started asking us how much money we had on us. He didn't tell us why at first. We thought he wanted a bigger tip to drive faster and so we said we only had $20 on us. And then he kept asking us how much money we had in the bank, and how much money we could take out. I mean he didn't tell us what it was for until later when. He admitted that the only way he was going to be able to get us back in time was by paying for a "police escort" which he said would cost at least $40 more. And then by the time we found that out we admitted we had $40 because it was getting pretty late. We even called our cruise ship to tell them we would be late. We called at 3:30 and the driver said we were about an hour away. And then about 4:15 came around and he said he couldn't find a police escort anymore and told us to call the ship again and ask how long they would wait. The ship agent asked how long till we get to the port and his answer was the same, "we're about 1 hour away in Runaway Bay." The ship agent said they could wait for 15 minutes max. So at this point the guy started pressing us more about how much money we could take out and then he started suggesting we look for a flight to our next port. We couldn't find one from Sangster Airport (Montego Bay) but found one at Kingston Airport. So about 4:50 came around and we called the ship back and asked if they were still at the port and they said no(I could hear the sound of the ship getting ready to leave in the background) but they still asked how far away we were and the driver(our tour guide) still said "we're about 1 hour away at Runaway Bay." The ship agent stated she left our passports with the port agent in Jamaica and gave us the number for him. And so we called the port agent and the port agent started talking to the driver and apparently the driver decided to take matters into his own hands. My fiance and I couldn't understand what they were saying on the phone but apparently we found out later the driver gave the port agent his phone number and said he could call him for matters concerning us because my phone had bad reception So somewhere along the way (according to the driver) our passports had been given to immigration and we were suppose to meet an unknown guy(who was supposedly the immigration officer) to get our passports. And then the driver says he has a friend who can take us to Kingston airport(which is where we were able to buy tickets to get to our next port our ship was suppose to stop at) but it would cost about $300. At this point we didn't trust the guy we were in the car with and were super worried we were going to be the next missing Americans from Jamaica. The driver also still kept asking how much money we had in the bank and insisted we stay at the hotel he suggested. The driver took us to Montego Bay airport to meet with the immigration officer but insisted we go back to his car to get a ride with his friend to Kingston airport. We waited around for the immigration officer and just hoped that this was a legitimate guy because he had our passports(and we didn't think the cruise ppl would give our passports to just anybody) with him and we told him our situation and then just ditched the other driver(told him our cruise got us transportation) because he just seemed so shady! We spent an extra $1,859.50 on plane tickets to get to our next port,(that was the cheapest flight at the time for us to be able to get to Roatan in time), $380 for taxi ride from Sangster Airport to hotel, hotel to Kingston airport ($49.12) because our flight wasn't until next day we had to stay in Jamaica for a night($146.24) and then Atlanta for another night($92.76 + $62.38 for rental car to get to and from hotel) cause our ship wasn't going to dock at Roatan Honduras until 2 days later, and then taxi cab from roatan airport to immigration office and then to ship port($60). A total of $2,650 more than what it should have cost because we booked this excursion. And we didn't even get to do the whole excursion! We didn't even get to Dunns River Falls which was included in the price! And the place we went to wasn't the actual Blue Hole! It was Nature Blue Hole Eco Attraction. Blue Hole is somewhere else! When I kept googling why we weren't actually going to the actual Blue Hole I was confused and thought he was just taking a short cut to cut through traffic but now that I look at where my pictures were taken, it was somewhere completely different! we definitely didn't do the optional lunch. We were yelled at for even wanting to use the restroom cause it took too much time! So $2,650 of extra fees plus the $290 for an excursion we barely even go to do half of! And the extra money it cost us for food and extra clothes because all our stuff was in the cruise ship, and the extra phone bill for all the calls! We showed up in Atlanta airport in just swim gear from our excursion and beach towels! This is in December! We absolutely needed a car to get warmer clothes too. This ended up causing us so much stress because we were running out of money and 2 days of our vacation time wasted! We should have never trusted this company! And to make matters worse, the driver/tour guide told us that he was a 3rd party agent that Viator contracted with Wayne Tours. The driver did not tell us this until he dropped us off at Montego airport which makes him even more shady because he didn't even know who Viator was! But he had all the information that Viator had and we were texting someone who had all the information we gave Viator.

Thrilling

HORACE_L, Dec 2023

We were outside our comfort zones but the lifeguards took excellent care of us. Need to let customers know the travel time to the falls through. I had no idea it was so far from hotel.

Definitely see the Blue Hole

Kim_K, Nov 2023

What a great trip with a great company! Our driver Dwayne was awesome and got us to a great guide at the Blue Hole Jaheim. Well worth it and great day!

Con artists

Michelle_F, Nov 2023

Driver was a con artist. I asked to stop along the way to get a mango which the woman said was $1.45. He pretended to do some calculations in his phone and turned around to tell us it was $20. We also heard him tell us this was for Americans after she gave the first price (meaning to charge us more). He also kept my hat. We also didn't get to go to the river falls because he was in the wrong area for pickup. They tried to message me new instructions but I didn't have wifi or cell signal. Many more things, but these were the huge red flags. Also, everyone expects a tip.

Must Do

Casey_W, Nov 2023

Visiting Blue Hole was the highlight of our trip! The drive was a couple of hours but it was worth it. The guides on site were so helpful, knowledgeable, and fun!

Definitely book this excursion!

Dunns river

Jemarc_P, Jun 2023

Great experience! Very helpful guides with a great sense of humor! Will definitely recommend. Will be back soon!

Falls and Hole were a Good Experience but.....

Andrew_L, May 2023

Dwayne our driver picked us up exactly on time and was a good guide. It is though about an Hour and Half drive to the Blue Hole from Montego Bay. At the Blue Hole you are taken to the Blue Hole by Blue T Shirted Guides who do expect a Tip at the end. During the climb to the actual hole you do pass various stalls where you can but drinks and souvenirs. No prices shown so you may have to haggle. As you do not take any money with you into the Blue Hole you have to pay at the end. Would recommend that you take waters shoes or you can buy some there. The experience was good. We were then taken back to Dunns River, where you do have to pay to enter. If you want a guided tour up the falls you have to pay again for the guide. The falls do get very crowded especially with the groups being guided which can make it a bit difficult to climb. Would highly recommend that you do take water shows for the climb. Climbing the falls was a great experience. Do expect to get very wet. Even though we booked a private tour we did not end up with that because on pick up we were told that we would be picking up another family at another hotel. We could not do anything about this at the time. This is where things went a awry as this other family were at least 30 minutes if not 40 minutes late coming to the pick up. This then had a knock effect of the time available at the hole and falls and you were also then having agree what you did as a group. So BEWARE even though advertised as a Private Tour it may not turn out to be that.

Better than we expected

Nancy_T, Apr 2023

We didn’t know what to expect when we booked but truly loved the entire experience! Mark, our driver/guide, was punctual, responsive, knowledgeable, and, more importantly, patient enough to put up with our endless questions. So, it’s about. 2 hour drive from Montego Bay. Mark left us in very capable hands of Jaheine and Wilon at our first stop, Blue Hole. They truly were there just for us and we gracious enough to play our paparazzi with our phone cameras. Next, it was a 20 minutes ride to Dunns River. It was an extra charge for entry fee but we were game for anything. Mark Tok us what to do and where he’d be when we come out. Our guide and photographer duo were great but it was just the luck of the draw/timing? Dunns River was much more physical than Blue Hole and not for the faint of heart. Mark then took care of us all the way back to our resort. If we hadn’t already booked our airport transport/transfer, we would have used him. But there’s always next time…

Waterfall expedition

Sandy_N, Apr 2023

Simply put, absolutely one of the best experiences in Jamaica. Try to go early in the morning before it gets too populated. Happy to do the 9:30am pick up. Blue secret hole was very unique and a must see and memory to have. Our driver Mark, was family friendly, professional, and explained a lot of Jamaican culture. Thankful to have bookings through viator.
