    We had a blast here. The water and falls were beautiful. Our guide and photographer were amazing. The tubing was relaxing and fun and learned a lot
    Awful experience - save your money!!

    Please DO NOT book with this company for your tour. I will not be booking through Viator again either. Got off our cruise and could not locate the tour guide, any signs or advertisement for the tour or contact anyone from the company to figure out how to connect with them for the tour. I had other tour guides from Norwegian as well as independent tours trying to figure out where to go and no one find them. Port Authorities got involved as well and could not figure it out either. They apologized and stated that some tour companies are "no good" and this must have been one of them. We had 6 tickets and over 600+ dollars invested in this tour and we got nothing. Contacted the tour company and zero response. Finally contacted Viator for support and they offered none stating they reviewed "material" and deemed it was un-refundable. What a joke - I have used Viator in the past, but this unethical and a total scam. There are a ton of independent tours available for Jamaica outside of using the Viator app. They are less expensive and actually deliver.
    Response from Host, Apr 2024
    Good day, we thank you very much for booking with us however unfortunately this guest did not take a tour with us so this review is false/void. We submit all relevant details to port authorities of Jamaica and we the tour operators with 15 other guest waited over 90 minutes on this guest. We called, we message, we viator chat this guest we even contact viator to contact the guest to no avail. We waited over 2 hours on this guest. We purchase port entry ticket, buy gas and pay driver salary for a no show of the guest. We are a reputable company that have been operating for almost 20 years and we are one of the leading tour companies in Jamaica. We have never receive any review of a no show for guest however guest that do party and choose not to come off ship will tend to leave this kind of review which we are unable to control but to share our side. This was all a no show for the guest not because no one was there. Even after we left the port manager was still looking out for guest group to call us however guest did not show up even up till now. We wish we got the opportunity to show you how beautiful our island is. Please note guest only post this review because viator reject their refund request because the tour company nor viator was not at fault guest did not show up for tour.
    Very enjoyable activities
    Hannah_T, Mar 2024
    We really enjoyed the blue hole and river tubing. Blue hole - we have to say that it was different to what we were expecting from the pictures. The water wasn't as blue for a start! When we were told to go up to the ledge and jump, it suddenly seemed quite daunting but we did it and it was an enjoyable experience and worth visiting. River tubing - this was great fun. The guide went down with us to ensure all was ok. The scenery is beautiful and it's so relaxing. We would definitely do this again. For both activities it was mainly shaded areas which was good for me so you don't need to worry about too much sun cream. The driver was really lovely, picked us up on time and drove us to each place telling us about the island as we on the move. Overall, a very enjoyable few hours and very much worth booking this trip. Thank you!
    Great guides and transportation!
    Andrea_K, Mar 2024
    We absolutely loved our transportation team and the guides that assisted us on our tours. The Blue Hole and River tubing were amazing! The only problem I had with the experience had nothing to do with our guides or the transportation team. It’s just a caution about the location in general. When we jumped in the water I lost my watch. My husband got a very suspicious text (from an iCloud account) saying it had been found. When I texted the account back from my phone they said they had found my watch and would return it…for $200 dollars!!! It wasn’t worth anywhere near that, and we weren’t about to go meet up with this disreputable individual. Make sure you don’t bring ANYTHING valuable on this adventure with you. I’m out a watch bc I had completely forgotten to take it off.
    Response from Host, Mar 2024
    Thanks for your feedback. We always asked all guest to remove their watches as these items easily comes off while Jumping. The lagoons can be challenging to dive up these items when lost and we have other individuals who is not affiliated with us on the river. Once they go and dive up these item they will charge, something we can't control unless we know who the individuals are.
    Very fun land tour!
    Stacey_C, Mar 2024
    This was a really fun day on land. Our tour guide Shannon and driver Omar from Courtney Taylor Tours were great and picked us up right at the Ocho Rios Cruise Port. Our kids 13 and 9 enjoyed the tubing but the highlight was Blue Hole. It was definitely crowded but our guide there Mikey helped our group navigate the climb to the top and hit all the jumps. Guides were also all around to help out and take photos (with your camera, though there was also a guy taking photos to see you).
    No communication

    Our cruise ship could not dock due to Highwinds. I contacted the company to let them know and nobody responded. I’m still waiting for a refund. Not good experience so far.
    Response from Host, Feb 2024
    Sorry for the delay but please understand that due to the port been damage from the high winds we have had a lot of cancellation and been replying to guests. You will be refunded asap and thanks for your honest feed back..
    Amazing oasis
    Carmen_O, Jan 2024
    The place is a beautiful oasis. All the guides are super helpful. curtious , kind , patient. They were fabulous! Different levels of jumps too. Really enjoyed it
    Good and bad
    Dayne_G, Dec 2023
    The Blue Hole was a lot of fun although it's a little treacherous getting to the upper pools. Several points to jump into pools but not a lot of time to linger in them. It was overcast so the true blue wasn't there but enjoyed just the same. Unfortunately the river tubing was canceled due to low water in the river, so that was a disappointment, especially when we wasted almost an hour waiting for the river to rise.

    This experience was great! I don't swim but my spouse does. The leaders kept us together and assisted those who don't swim. I enjoyed the tubing down the river. We passed by some parts where homeless people were bathing in the river or trying to catch fish to eat. We passed by some places that were trashy or where trash was being burned up. Other than that, great experience.
    Do not recommend
    Rita_S, Sep 2023
    Tubing was fine, enjoyable. Blue Hole was a treacherous and dangerous trek, very slippery and rickety wooden steps. Would not recommend. Have been at a Blue Hole in Ocho Rios before and it was very superior to this location. Jump area very congested. Twisted knee on slippery rock.
    Response from Host, Sep 2023
    Thanks for your feedback and again we appreciate your review as this help us to build a better product. Not sure how you may have twisted your ankle but for sure it can be a challenging activity and breed suited for those you are fit. Also please be reminded that if you are taken to another location by your driver it would means not all instructions were fallowed. We are very close to the lagoons or next to the lagoons and waterfalls therefore having along trek meant you went to the wrong location. Please fallow all instructions on your tickets or call the numbers on it. The blue hole is on the White River but base on the starting point it can be a longer adventure which is more challenging. We offer the direct tour to the lagoons and waterfalls.
    Amazing Jamaica experience!
    Lynette_W, Sep 2023
    The guides in the bus and at each location were amazing. They took extra care with the older folks and had extra fun with the younger folks. Had an incredible experience at both blue hole and the tubing. Highly recommended!
    Only 10 minutes on the blue hole
    Fabiola_M, Aug 2023
    They only let us in the blue hole 10 minutes including walking in and out. Just enough time to jump one time and taking a couple of pictures. I would have preferred staying there like it was advertised then letting me in a restaurant to have lunch.
    Response from Host, Sep 2023
    Thanks for your feedback. 10mins would have been impossible as it takes roughy 5 mins just to reach the lagoons. I can’t expound much on this review as I am not sure what was the case why your tour wasn’t long enough but if it was the case we are truly sorry but I am absolutely sure there was some issue with your time why this might have happen. Sometimes guest delay pickup and other tours needs to be done but 10 mins is over exaggerating.
    Great experience
    p9ggvz57kf, Jul 2023
    The river tubing was so fun and amazing to experience ! I would highly recommend doing this, just a tip maybe bring a snack!
    Very fun experience 😀
    Tracey_R, Jul 2023
    Liked the tubing, wonderful experience but really loved the Blue Hole was truly an amazing experience.
    Fun in the Sun
    Torianna_C, Nov 2022
    This experience was so fun! Jumping from the waterfall was so much fun. The rafting on the river was very fun as well. Def would recommended this to anybody visiting.
    Nick the amazing guide
    Thomas_I, Jun 2021
    Nick the tour guide was amazing,fun, and charismatic. Highly recommend this tour. The only down fall is we didn’t bring a towel form our resort and we didn’t have any tip money for our van driver or for Nick. If any of you get Nick. Please tip him well he deserves it.
