My husband and I took this tour with our two teenage boys. The brochures and the guest service rep at the hotel promoted this as a white water tour in a tube. They told us we would definitely be getting wet. It took quite a long time to get to the place because the traffic through Montego Bay was so... More

This ia a very relaxing and tranquil "activity" in Jamaica. The scenery is beautiful and lush and the river guides friendly and knowledgeable. Depending on the time of day you go you could be in full sun so wear hat/sunscreen. There's always the option of jumping in the river to cool down. More

My husband, Dave and I took the Great River Adventure Tubing Tour while visiting Jamaica. We combined it with the Zipline Adventure Tour (please see review), and booked both tours through David at Great River Adventures. David is extremely professional, and friendly. Our package included round trip transportation from Breezes Grand Lido Negril by a taxi, and a lunch between... More

We booked our trip online before we left for Jamaica, and after confirming the pickup time of 8:30 from our hotel about 4 times (they must've thought we were nuts, but I wanted to make sure the one excursion we did actually took place!), we were outside waiting for our car....for an hour, until 9:30. Thankfully, the owners of other... More

Island tours seems to have a knack for selecting unique tours that are run by sincere, unique and entertaining people. In December we went river tubing in Montego bay though Island Routes Adventures. My family had an awesome time and fell in love with the people we spent the day with. As with most things in Jamaica the people are... More

This is a great excursion a whole family can take. I went with a family and friends. In our group was my 70 year old mother and we also had a 6 year old. Everyone enjoyed it. As you can see it is a pretty calm ride on the river having those two age groups with us. What we liked... More

The treatment received from a group of Jamaicans to a group of jamaicans was the worst. My workplace visited this place and the customer service was the poorest of ever. I would not advice any Jamaican to visit this place especially where u end your tour. After you have done the tubing there is no area to wash off, some... More

I saw this review and was really astonished. This person was in Ocho Rios. Could it be that she went on a similar tour in Ocho Rios as Ocho Rios has similar tours and is about 70 miles from our location? I cannot understand why the complainant would have travelled so far. If it was our attraction that this person... More

Let me start off by saying if I could rate this a 10 star I would! We went to Jamaica on the Carnival Conquest for Easter in 2009. We traveled as a family ages 36(hubby) ,34(me) ,14(son) , &12(daughter). Never been to another country, or cruise so I was a little clueless, that being said our adventure began with me... More

Everyone at Great Adventures was fantastic. We planned everything via e-mail. Randy was wonderful, he was even out of the country and planned our excursion and set up transportation and all. The guide, Oliver, was very knowledgable and the foot massage was very soothing!!! Would go again in a New York minute!! More
