About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- vabchtraveler0 contributionsJamaica ParadiseI contacted Marvyn's Paradise Tours with a request for a Private Tour similar to one I'd had previously years before. I wanted my friend to experience the Jamaica that Marvin's Tours previously introduced me to. We started out in a really nice vehicle from the cruise terminal in Ocho Rios with Kenneth as our host/driver. He took us immediately through Ocho Rios to Fern Gully. Now, Fern Gully is just a winding road through a dense rainforest area. The trees and tree ferns are amazing. Kenneth would pull over and let us take a look at the foliage and point out plants of interest to us. From there we went to a specific overlook of the city. There's spectacular viewing of much of the island from that vantage point. When we left that beautiful view, we travelled to Mammee Bay Beach - a private club/luxury hotel area. There we lounged on the beach and swam in the most beautiful, crystal clear water. A pool had formed inside the reef and we waded chest deep as small sargeant major fish swam around us. Magical. After an hour or so of lounging and swimming with fishes, we dressed and a very patient Kenneth drove us to Scotchies for lunch. Now, you may not know Scotchies but Marvyn had me taken there on my very first scenic trip in Ocho Rios and it is the bomb! I could hardly wait to get back! We dined on jerk pork and jerk chicken and festival - sharing all. Now, the deal is that Scotchies is the best jerk food in Jamaica, well, I guess that makes it the best in the world then, right? You better go on over there. Let Marvyn hook you up! Actually Marvyn has lots of tour options and you will not find better service. Thanks, Marvin and Sana for setting this up for us and special thanks to Kenneth, for a fabulous day!Written February 7, 2025
- eric k0 contributionsGreat experience with Marvyn's ToursJo-El from Marvyn's Paradise Tours was totally awesome. My wife and I always wanted to do a horseback riding in the ocean. We can't wait to do it again when we come back to Jamaica.Written February 3, 2025
- RhondaU6370 contributionsAmazing experience!We used Marvyn's Paradise Tours for both airport transfer and two individually crafted tours. Their communication and service was amazing! Our driver, Mr. T, was friendly and informative. He was always on time. We had one member of our group that was not feeling well and stayed at the VRBO. Mr. T stopped at a fruit stand and purchased fruits for the person so they could experience at least a bit of what we had experienced. I would highly recommend this team!Written January 28, 2025
- sarahlH7131KL0 contributionsPerfect dayGreat experience. Driver was amazing and right on time, tour guide for the Blue Hole was great and made sure everyone in the group had funWritten January 3, 2025
- mc3davis0 contributionsFun Excursion!Joel was an absolutely an amazing driver with knowledge of the area, he was flexible with our trip and took us to a good local lunch spot and a lookout point for photos since we had extra time. Our guides at the blue hole, Jay and Travis, took great care of us, getting us to all of the best spots to jump from and get wonderful photos. Our tubing experience was also so fun and we went through vibrant forests and rafting areas that were very fun! I would definitely recommend this for anyone who wants a fun break from resort life.Written December 30, 2024
- lisaaY2810TE0 contributionsAmazingWe did the Blue Hole first and everyone had a blast. J our tour guide was fantastic if you’re going request him. I was afraid to do the big jumps and jump from the falls but the kids did and had the best time. I would recommend this. Next we went to tube down white river and let me tell you it was an adventure there were rapids and dips and that guide was also amazing I can’t remember his name. But the best was our driver Joel he was fun, knowledgeable and even took us for a photo op that wasn’t part of our package. All in all. 100% recommend!!Written December 30, 2024
- Sandy B0 contributionsRushed and trashyThe tour started at blue hole and felt rushed, then for the tubing experience the majority of the time you had to hold onto someone else’s tube. The sides of the river were littered with trash. Extremely disappointingWritten December 25, 2024

- marywG5470FY0 contributionsThanksgiving 2024Family of four had tge best time! Our driver guide Kenny did a fantastic job getting us to and from the ship and was very attentive to any wishes we had other than the excursion. Our two guides at the blue hole were great as well as Dwight at the river tubing. We will definitely recommend and return one day soon!!!Written November 28, 2024

- O4356LCbrettb0 contributionsWhat an incredible and amazing time in Jamaica!! Thank you Sean!The memories we were able to make as a family were priceless! We were so blessed to have an Amazing tour guide and driver. His name was Sean. Sean was so kind and shared Lot's of fun facts about Jamaica. He took us safely to each of our destinations and made sure we understood how to be safe and how not to be taken advantage of as there are some in the area that would do so. Sean even surprised us with decorating up the van for my daughters birthday and for our anniversary. He really helped personalize our experience in Jamaica! We all had such a wonderful time there! Thank you Sean!Written October 11, 2024
- Meander536343056240 contributionsBEST FAMILY EXPERIENCE EVER!! And Marvyn and Shawn are the best!!!If you want to experience Jamaica - book a tour through Marvyn's. From the minute I emailed them, they were super helpful and ready to make our trip the best! We got off the cruise ship and they were ready and waiting for us with a large, clean, van for our group of 9 (16-69), even with our last minute booking, (we weren't sure we would be able to stop with Hurricane Helene threatening). Our driver, Sean, was the greatest guy!! He took us to Dunn's River Falls (which was AMAZING), and we were some of the first people there. He helped us understand how to be careful around the people selling souvenirs and he took care of us. Our guide at Dunn's River was awesome too. I lost my watch and they were able to dive and find it for me. We were celebrating our anniversary and our daughter's birthday and while we were hiking the falls, Marvyn personally came and with Sean they decorated the van for us. It was awesome!! The drive up to Blue Hole and our experience there was AWESOME! If you like to jump, dive, or flip into beautiful clear water, then this is the place. Sean knew a lot about the area and he took good care of us! He also suggested we stop at Linda's for the best jerk chicken, oxtail, and rice, and even called ahead to make sure there was enough food for us. It was honestly the best trip ever! We feel like Sean is part of our family now and we would love to visit again. We will definitely book through Marvyn's, and will request Sean to take care of us again!Written October 11, 2024
- belindahindslewis0 contributionsGreat Tour!Our tour guide (Sunshine) and driver (Lopez) was wonderful and fun! They were knowledgeable, funny and very friendly. Would tour with them again. Thank you!Written October 10, 2024

It is the second time in this magical place but the first time, ten years ago we were unable to climb because the second child was too small. Breathtaking location and great fun climbing thanks to our Guide that allowed us to reach the top safely. After a journey of about an hour we arrived at the place where we had lunch of rice and chicken with closure of rum.We continued with a fun tubing on the river aboard donuts to complete , once arrived in the open sea with the canoes in groups of about 8 people, who took us to the beach where after cooling off we left aboard our bus to return to the ship Harmony of the Seas. Tiring and not recommended for those who are not really fit or have mobility problems, but really unmissable 💯💯

We booked a private tour in November 2017 for me, my husband and two children aged 11 and 12. We booked Dunn's River Falls, Tubing on the White River, the Blue Hole and lunch at Scotties. I liked the fact that we could see all three of these water attractions in one tour with this company--most other companies seemed to limit it to two of them. Our driver was Kenneth. He arrived on time and was very easy-going. We felt confident that he would be there for us after each attraction, and we left our stuff in the vehicle with him without incident. I also liked the email communication back and forth--it gave me confidence that they would show up. I would use this company again.

Ramon was our Tour Guide and Bernard was our Driver. These guys were great. The only downsides were they were 15 minutes early picking us up at the hotel, sowe rushed out with no cash. And on the shopping portion, we only stopped at one store and it was a little expensive. ($25.00 for a Jamaican shirt). The tubing was beautiful scenery and was so relaxing. I did not climb the falls, but my Girlfriend did and she had a blast. I took the lazy way out and just laid at the base of the falls in the cool refreshing water fall. We then went to Bamboo Beach for a great lunch, that was served Tapas syle. Was only there a littleover an hour. One couple from Lima, Peru was very upset becaues the beach portion was so short. We arrived back at about 5:30pm after an 8:30a.m. pickup.

We were very disappointed in today’s tour. The driver arrived on time and took us where we needed to be but that was the extent of it. He was a driver not a tour guide. That being said, this tour is over priced. We were dropped off at Dunn’s river with little to no guidance. We had to ask for a bottle of water. It was warm. While the river tubing was nice, we did not need anyone to take us down. The singing was annoying and could have done without it. We skipped lunch and proceeded to drive on horrible roads to see the local area and vegetation but was offered very little information. My husband felt nauseous from the drive and we couldn’t wait for the tour to end.

After reading all the great reviews for Marvyn's Paradise Tours I emailed the company and Marvyn responded immediately, so professional and accommodating. We were arriving on a cruise ship for the day and really wanted a small group tour. This was perfect. No line ups. Easy to find when we got off the ship and headed for the end of the pier all we said was Marvyn and we were pointed in the right direction. Seamless. Delvin took us directly to Dunn's River Falls and got us checked in and waited for us in the parking lot. We were the first group in.... again....no line ups!! Had a great tour....well worth doing, fun and beautiful. From there we went for a great drive through the hills to our River Tube experience. Also, well done. This was pretty quick which left us time to go to a private beach and also get some delicious Jerk chicken. Can't say enough good about the guide and this tour. Call or email Marvyn, book it and enjoy!!

What a great day! Sean was our guide and he was fantastic! He gave us a tour of Ocho Rios on the way to all of our stops. Told us the best and safest way to do everything. The falls was hard but we did the whole thing and the tubing was fantastic. The jerk chicken stop provided to best meal of our whole trip. Sean even bought us a bag of Jamaican apples for us all to try. Amazing service and a great day!!

Denise and Daryl with Yardie Tours were great. My family thought climbing the falls was the highlight of their trip. We also enjoyed the tubing on the river. I would highly recommend Yardie tours. Got us back to our cruise ship on time. Ask for Denise and Daryl if at all possible, they made our trip extra fun.

Sean from Marvyn's Tours took us to Dunn's Falls & lunch when we stopped in Jamaica last week. It was great! Sean was very conversational and friendly, helped us get fast service both at the falls & the restaurant, and was an all around awesome tour guide. This is definitely the way to go if you are there, especially if you are on a cruise ship... way better than a crowded bus or van. Highly recommended!
