Ocho Rios River Tour: Blue Hole, Dunn's River And Rafting

Lenroy was our driver for the day. He was punctual and made us feel very comfortable throughout the whole time. The excursions are a must in the 90 degree heat while we were there in September. Jamaica is beautiful!

This experience was 100% worth it! Top of the line excursion by far! Our driver, Godfrey was excellent! The waterfall hike was breathtakiing and the guides made sure everyone was safe throughout the entire excursion. We had a blast!

I really enjoyed the tour. The driver was excellent and made sure we were well prepared for the activities. The guides at dunns river and blue hole were great. I enjoyed tubing at the white river my only complaint was that my partner and I were offered a stone for a massage and we were not told there was a charge. At the very end the guide told us we needed to pay 40 USD. I didn’t like the lack of transparency and it left me feeling quite annoyed

The whole experience was amazing. The guides were excellent, they truly cared about your safety. We felt it was worth the price paid. Absolutely would recommend.

Communication for pickup was great ahead of time. Drive was super late. We paid for dunns river, blue hole and tubing. Got to dunns river (5 mins from resort), told other 2 parts were cancelled and they offered konoko falls (already doing on something else...also basic.. and beach). Im sorry what do you think ppl are doing on the resort? Why didnt you tell us BEFORE we got on the bus?! After i told them no, they said they could take us back after dunns river for $50 transportation fee... wtf. 5 mins away drive...Riu. was told ok fine no $50 after a stink was made about it and that we could rebook the other 2 activities for another day and they would drive us back after dunns river. Line up to wait over 30 mins for wrist bands to enter, no shade. Side note, 100% do dunns river, was beautiful and had fun with ppl in our group. There is a tour guide that works for dunns river who was awesome. Ask for Trevor. Get back to the bus to find out the driver lost his keys...one job homie! Not only did all of us on the tour hold up the guys from dunns river we were out there for prob about 40 mins. No water, no money and all our stuff trapped in the bus. FINALLY get our stuff and obvisouly cancelled the rebooking of the other 2 things.

We loved this tour! The Dunns fall were our favourite. The tour was jam packed but never felt rushed. Sunshine and Godfrey were amazing and kept our bus entertained throughout.

Overall, this was a good experience. The port was very busy and chaotic, and there was just one ship there. It took almost an hour from getting checked in to the excursion until we left, way too long in my opinion. The AC bus was nice, our driver Godfrey was wonderful. We went to Dunn’s River Falls first. It was beautiful, a tad strenuous hiking up the waterfalls, but everyone in our group of 30 did it except one. The guides were AMAZING! Must have water shoes and you get completely soaked. Next we went to the Blue Hole, it was pretty and lots of people jumped in from different heights. The life jackets they give you STINK, so be prepared. Next we tubed down the river, the water was cold but totally worth it. We had our very own guide because there was just two of us, took about 45 mins. Our drier Godfrey was there to pick us up at the end of the river tubing. We left our belongings on the bus all day long and it was safe and nothing was stolen. I tipped at each stop and then our driver. Everyone was so nice and I was happy with this experience. Just a little too much waiting at each stop:)

Highly recommend! A great activity for adrenaline junkies. Good variety of activities from water tubing to climbing the falls and also the blue hole. You need to be brave not for the feint of heart!! But really good fun along the way and nice group to enjoy the experience with. Excellent friendly drivers and tour guides. Bring some small bills for tips which are very deserved. Attended as part of a cruise to Ocho Rios port. A must do activity when in the area. Ps get the jerk chicken from Linda’s!

Tour bus , and blue holes guides were excellent, the three star review comes feom the pushy photographer at Dunns river falls, you can not preview your photos prior to purchase andI had seen the poor quality would have never made the purchase. Beware future travelers.

Great trip and experience excellent guide and group well worth it and highly recommend this trip and guides

CJ was our guide, and he was awesome. He went out of his way to get pictures of our daughter and granddaughters. It was a wonderful experience, recommended for everyone. And the falls were beautiful!!

An excellent experience from start to finish. Great communications on the build and say of the tour, letting you know exactly who your driver was and precise time of collection. Really friendly, helpful, fun staff who take pride in making your day an enjoyable experience. The Blue hole and Dunns River falls are a must if you visit Jamaica. Would definitely recommend this company if booking excursions in the area.

We had a great time! Everyone from our driver to the crew who assisted us at each location were all very friendly, professional and fun.

Dunns river was great like hiking up waterfalls there are guides to help you along the way! Not for small kids but they do have area that you can walk up. Blue Hole was awesome for the thrill seekers and tubing was relaxing for the most part! Definitely a great combo! However I’m still waiting on pics and video that I purchased that was supposed to be sent to my email still have not gotten them…. Bring a water proof case for your phone and you can take your own pictures.

This was a whole crazy activity filled day! The falls were way more intense than I expected and I was sore for days after. If you are not physically fit at all I wouldn’t suggest it. The blue hole was more of the same, walking up waterfalls just to jump off high things into more water. I could have done without that part, but the tubing was the best part of the day! Relaxing and calm. Beware, no stops to get food so bring your own or eat before you go! Good Luck!

This is a great experience!! I recommend doing all 3! In the order of, Dunns river fall, Blue Hole, then relaxing down the river tubing!! Tour guides was nice!! It felt like VIP to every extraction. Tour guide walked you past lines of people, to front to get bands. 5/5 experience.

Loved the dunn falls and blue hole. Truly adventurous. And the tubing was a gentle way to end it all. Driver and all guides were great.

All three activities were excellent. The drivers were great and all three guides (each of the three activities have a different guide so take that into consideration to have tips for each guide) were awesome. The scenery was relaxing and fantastic. The Blue hole was our favorite where you get to enter the water in three different locations. This is an excursion that you do not want to miss. We recommend it highly.

Well organized and great fun. Did Dunn’s River, Blue Hole, and the White River tube float in that order. We were picked up promptly at the cruise terminal around 9:30am and were back before 3pm. Personal items were securely locked up in the shuttle bus. Complimentary soda/water provided. Make sure you eat well beforehand as you don't stop for food. There are food vendors near the exit of Dunn’s River if you need to grab something. Would do this again if we ever return to Ocho Rios!

Trevor at Dunn’s River was amazing and the Blue Hole was a truly unique experience. The driver was prompt and the courteous. It was everything we were expecting and then some.

We were a family of 9 (ages 9-45) on a cruise with a stop in Ocho Rios from 8am-3pm. We were able to find our driver within 15 minutes of disembarkation and he got us through all three activities and back on the ship by 2:30pm with a little time for shopping at the end. We had five kids (9-16) and this was a huge hit with all of them. The guides will keep you safe. You can skip any part of the activity if you feel like it’s too much for you. You do not need to be super fit; if you can climb two flights of stairs without stopping and aren’t completely terrified of water, you’ll be fine. Bring small bills and prepare four sets of tips for your driver and guides at each stop. You need water shoes or sports sandals, swimsuits, and at least one towel for every two people. You will be in the shade most of the day so you don’t need to slather on sunscreen. Leave anything you don’t want to get wet in the van with the driver.

Great day full of fun and activity. Picked up on time and everything explained really well. Climbing Dunn’s was a fab experience but I was jokingly nicknamed ‘chicken little’ for not wanting to jump at the blue hole I wasn’t forced into it though. Trip finished with leisurely river tubing with another great guide. Driver was friendly and knowledgeable and everyone was worth the tips we gave :-)

We had a great day. The guides at Dunns River Falls were fantastic and very helpful. The blue Hole was beautiful and the tubing a perfect finish to the day. Our driver Godfrey did a great job!

The guides were very very helpful!! They were polite and professional. I highly recommend this tour.

We enjoyed all three locations and had pretty great guides. Romaine from Blue hole was absolutely amazing!! One thing I was not aware of until the day was that the tour is not one full tour. It is three separate locations and guides. The tour you are booking through is just the driver so you should have FOUR sets of tips ready. One for each guide at each different location and one for your driver. Our driver Godfrey was great and would definitely recommend.

All three elements were excellent. Really enjoyed climbing the Dunns River Falls. Amazing sight and not too busy as a non cruise ship day and an early slot. The Blue Hole was the best part of the day. Our guide Travis was great and took some brilliant photos/Videos of us with my phone. The location is beautiful and the water really refreshing and clear. Tubing was a really nice way to relax at the end of the tour. Again very beautiful. Orett was our driver for the tour and gave us lots of information along the way. He was very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend.

Meeting new people and having a great driver that was very knowledgeable about the area. A really great atmosphere.

We had a real good time with our guide CJ. I would definitely do this activity again. This was one of my favorites.

Amazing from start to finish. Booking was super easy. Cruise changed our port, not a problem for these guys. Our guide/driver was super friendly and knowledgeable. We got to each spot, he hooked us up with our guide at each location and off we went. Very easy, no lines, no waiting, nothing. Into the place, up to the front and off. Does not get any better! Sure, this is more expensive but you get to hit all three spots in a short time with a great experience. This was for 5 people. 2 parents, three kids 19,18,16. Was the favorite (By Far) for everyone. Just a heads up, bring cash for the people at each location. You should/will need to tip them as well -3 spots. Of course, bring cash to tip driver as well.

My family enjoyed all three of the activities. It was a day filled with exciting and fun activities.

Great views and photo ops. Guides were very helpful and kept us safe. Prepare to do a lot of walking and climbing.

It was a pleasurable experience. The guides were friendly and watched out for our safety. Recommended!

My daughter and I had a great time and the crew was very kind and accommodating! I would definitely do the falls and blue hole.

Orette was our driver for our day. He was friendly and knowledgeable of the area and shared lots of great info with us. We were able to leave our bags in his van while we did all pur water activities which was helpful.

Private tour 4 of us in the car for 3 spots. No waiting, visiting 3 nice attractions. I recommand It. Very nice tubing and Dunn fall. We like less blue hole for the guide who were disapointed because We didn’t jump.

Having a lot of fun with friends during three exciting events. We really can recommend the tour to all visitors of 🇯🇲

Clarke was a great tour guide at Dunns River and TJ on the tubing part of the trip .the Blue hole was beautiful and so much fun. Well worth the money. Each guide does expect a tip so remember to bring some money.

Kool Jamaica Tours is a great company to do an excursion with. I would highly recommend them. Orette, our driver, was on time. He gave us so much information about Jamaica, the culture etc. He was a blessing to us and a good driver. After each excursion he was right there waiting for us to take us to the next one. Our tour guides were AMAZING at each place. They are so much fun!! The Blue Hole was absolutely exhilarating. That was our favorite. All of it was such a good experience. If we ever come back we will for sure use them again.

The Dunn's River Tubing was one of my favorite excursions ever! The float was super easy, our guides kept us moving along safely. The scenery was absolutely amazing! The tubes have a solid bottom so you don't bump your rump on the rocks along the way. I would highly recommend this trip. The Blue Hole was a little chaotic due to the time of day we were there, but it was a very cool experience.

Highly recommend all 3 activities! Day is a little long for no lunch stop but there are some snacks you can purchase at each stop. Drivers for the company were friendly and the pickup and drop off experience were seamless.

Our driver Wayne was excellent in every way. I learned so much about the country, region and culture! My favorite part was the White River tube float. It was so beautiful and peaceful. Everything one can imagine about floating on a river in a rainforest. Blue Falls was an incredible experience. The guides go out each morning and steel brush the rocks so they aren’t too slippery on the path up the falls. The Blue Hole experience was good. It was a bit crowded during our time there which made for a confusing atmosphere when the platform was packed with people and some were having reservations about jumping. The platform is only 15 feet off the water and the water is more than deep enough for a safe jump, but when it’s crowded and some people are trying to get off the platform it can cause problems. You get life jackets to use so it’s more than safe. Overall a fantastic experience and would highly recommend! Be sure to ask for Wayne.

It was off and on raining but still an enjoyable day! Pick up was smooth, driver made stops to allow us to get cash…Dunn’s River, Blue Hole, and White River were amazing. Definitely recommend booking.

Such a great time! Had a blast! We went when it was sprinkling and honesty, it was amazing! The water was soo refreshing! Had a great group. Our package included tubing and no one else in our group had it and it was just my husband and I solo! It was great solo time! The guides at each tour were friendly and funny! Our driver was super efficient too! Would highly recommend! Kid friendly too by the way. My kids would've been able to beast it through. These pictures don't do it justice! Just get the package!

Wonderful Trip so nice you must do that Famos for the Family Adventure for all them Jamaica 🇯🇲 in wunderfull

I especially enjoyed the river tubing as it was very relaxing. I'm in really bad shape so climbing the falls was pretty difficult for me--I appreciated being able to jump off the falls in the middle while my family continued on. The only thing I would recommend is being clearer that this was a 6.5 hour excursion with no opportunity for lunch.

We were on a cruise and booked with this experience - definitely worth doing all 3. Kool Jamaica provided the transportation and leaves you at the event, then local tour guides take over. We were transported on a shuttle bus type of vehicle - there 2 other families on the bus with us. The only hiccup was Kook Jamaica was not at the last point to pick us up on a timely fashion. We had to wait 30 minutes cause the driver was dropping off someone else at the cruise terminal and then had to circle back for us. The events themselves were great. Local guides expect a tip. Swim suits and water shoes a must!

I was hesitant to book but I’m glad I did!! We had a blast!! To start our driver was Godfrey and he is very knowledgeable and resourceful. He took us to every tour and secured us with the right tour guides, we were able to safely leave our belongings behind in the van while we enjoyed ourselves worry free. When we got to Blue Hole we met Daniel he was our guide the entire way. We then met Keon who was our guide for tubing was an adventure it’s a must experience!! We then went to Dunns River Falls and we made it all the way Up… ye mon!! At Dunns Rivers they’re a videographer who takes pics and vids there’s a $40 charge to have them emailed to you. We really enjoyed our time in Jamaica!! Wish we could have stayed longer but there’s always next time… hope you’ll have the same experience maybe even better!!! P.S. Tried to upload pics but I couldn’t, anywho… YE MON!!!

Wow!! Amazing trip!!! Our driver, Wayne, picked us up from our hotel and was so friendly and easy-going. He gave us so many great insights into the Jamaican way of life. Wayne is by far the best driver we’ve had throughout our whole trip to Jamaica!! We had a fantastic day! All of our tickets were included, so no need to purchase further admission. Recommended to bring extra cash for tips for the tour guides, as it’s pretty much expected to give a tip.

Its an excellent experience that you just can't miss but the description is a little misleading. It is a lot of climbing and walking and takes longer than the estimated time but I would highly recommend it.
