Our tour guide Germaine was great! I learned a lot about Jamaica from him. He took us to this place called Linda’s for lunch and it was yummy! The blue hole and falls were beautiful, but if you’re looking to relax in the water, this is not the excursion for you. Lots of walking & climbing on the rocks. My husband did the rope swings & jumped off the platform near the falls. He loved it! Plus we got to do some shopping.

Blue Hole and Secret Falls with unnecessary shopping and lunch stop
Beata_W, Oct 2023
Beautiful nature but didn’t like stalls around selling weed and souvenirs. We paid €81 pp after 15% discount and it was not a value for money. Admission fee for locals is 1000 JMD and tourists pay $20 or $25. The trip includes a visit to an overpriced small shopping center and a lunch place - both were a waste of time. All together with a hotel pickup and delivery took 3 hours. The driver was very good with a lot of local knowledge.
Beautiful experience

Our tour guide was great! Her assured us that jumping into the water was completely safe and was there to ease our fear. He was patient and took great memorable photos and videos.
Great experience
Tanya_H, Aug 2023
Our driver Jerwain was great, he shared Jamaica history and took us to a great restaurant for jerk chicken. Our tour guide Ryan was spectacular and the blue hole and secret waterfall was absolutely gorgeous.
Great!

My husband and I had so much fun and lunch was so tasty! The sun river had long lines and was very crowded but overall it was an amazing experience and would recommend.

Deanna_M, Feb 2020
The blue hole was absolutely beautiful! People were extremely nice and helpful. The shopping trip on the other hand was disappointing. We would have liked a bigger market as i know they are all over ocho rios and not just one store. Although the driver would have taken us eleswhere had we asked . 👍

This was my favorite excursion that we participated in, while in Jamaica. The Blue Hole and Secret Falls itself was breathtaking and so much fun to swing and jump into. Our guide was super knowledgeable of the area we were in and was as well very accommodating. You definitely could not go wrong booking with this company! Absolutely amazing, I have already vowed to come back and do it again - it was just that much fun.

Breathtaking scenery, shopping was disappointing
Jacqueline R, Jul 2018
It is worth the trip to see the wonderful scenery. Wish we had more time to swim in hole and not shuffled to jump from cliff, swing from rope, then into cave out to take photos.Too much James Bond posing with fingers pointed as guns for the photos. That was the extent of hole visit. Falls was beautiful worth the walk. Shopping was not what I expected.....a local variety store. Thought it would be more of a walking market of vendors shopping experience with handmade goods. Lunch was good at Scotchies, nice local authentic food experience.

8 th Feb 2017. Myself and 2 girlfriends went on this excursion yesterday, and we had the most amazing day ! It's a beautiful, magical place, which remains relatively unspoilt....could almost be set from a fantasy film ! The water at the Blue hole really does have a turquoise colour, and great fun to jump in and use the rope swing. Be prepared...it is colder than the ocean, but think about it...this is fresh water coming down from the mountains ! We then walked onto the Secret Falls. OMG ! it is absolutely amazing. We are 3 fit, but mature ladies and we had a ball. Jumping in from rocks and platforms, sitting under cascades...FANTASTIC.... A MUST DO TRIP ! Not done Dunns Falls yet, but have a feeling this one will be the winner owing to it being less commercialised and fewer people. The guides were very helpful, safety conscious and polite. No one on the trip was bothered about shopping at the craft type market on way back, so the driver took us to a cafe/ restaurant which was a bit disappointing. Maybe find a nice seafood restaurant to finish off the most amazing experience and it would get and more.

This was an excellent tour. We went to the Blue Hole via a comfy small bus. The tour guide Mama was very knowledgeable about Jamaica combining both history and humor. The Blue Hole was beautiful and fun. Then we went to a small shopping center where there was no pressure to purchase anything. Lastly, we went to Scothies for lunch with was very good.

Kirstie C, May 2016
I would recommend this trip to anyone who likes adrenaline rush jumping from rocks and swinging from ropes and plunging to the 20-foot deep cold water would definitely satisfy an adventurous soul.
