About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Jb4y0 contributionsAmazing view and fun rideMy husband, daughter and I did this excursion when we visited Ocho Rios, Jamaica on August 27, 2024. We purchased our excursion through Carnival. When we came off the cruise ship a tour rep was waiting outside, he greeted us and placed wristbands on our wrist then put us on the bus. The bus ride to Mystic Mountain took 5 minutes. When we arrived, a lady at the entrance greeted us and directed us to the sky explorer lift (chair lift) The guys made sure were secured in the chair lift. The lift took 25 minutes to get to the top of the mountain. The view on the way up (700 feet) was so amazing. On the left side was the view of the north shore and on the right was the view of the rainforest. When we got to the top of the mountain a nice lady greeted us, checked our wristbands and directed us to the bobsled. We also rented a locker for $6. The locker was big enough to store our beach bag and back pack. The bobsled ride was so much fun, they can go really fast. We only wished that the ride was longer or that we could have gone twice on the bobsled. Local food, burgers and drinks were available for purchase. We had access to the infinity edge pool and the water slide. Overall this excursion was fun and worth it. We would definitely do the bobsled again and recommend it to family and friends.Written October 1, 2024
- C3533HVasiac0 contributionsGreat Experience!!Shaq and Dunkin are great!! Very good instructors and they will make you laugh!! Make sure to also go on the river falls, the water feels amazingWritten September 27, 2024
- E7734TVdominiquem0 contributions100/10I had a great time. Not only was this excursion entertaining but informative. I highly recommend this tour to ppl that handle a few jump scares. If not, the regular day tour will suffice. Me and my partner had a really good experience, the tour was about an hour long and it was just the two of us plus the tour guide which made it even more creepy but personable. We learned about the precious owners of the plantation and the houses history- such a great time. I have recommended this tour to most of my family members and I will definitely be back for a second tour. This time I won't be so scared since I'll know what's coming. The gift shop is so cute and the staff are so kind!Written September 27, 2024
- Venture628851129410 contributionsFun, but was ruined by additional costs.Although the activities themselves were good, the communication was awful and to be fair there are a few points that tarnished the trip. Firstly they don't tell you that you need $20 US for lockers, as you can't take backpacks or stuff on the activities. Also on each activity you have different guides and in total there were 16 guides, all who want tips. I know they are sort of optional, but it is a bit in your face. Also at lunch you are only offered tap water free with your meal, anything else you have to pay for. Not what I expect when paying $488 dollars for the both of us. The ATVs in my opinion aren't very well maintained and several of them had insufficient brakes. Overall fun, but could be better. The communication of what we were doing, what we needed to wear and when was lacking.Written September 27, 2024
- trvlnut210 contributionsBeware the White WitchOMG is about all you can say! My wife and I and our friends were staying at Sandals, this was a “must do” as far ad I was concerned. We did tour, got to the dungeon where we go to partake in the witches brew cocktail. Had a ball. Bought the photo. Great timeWritten September 20, 2024
- gerald w0 contributionsexcellentI found the start very friendly and knowledgeable, especially our tour guide. donette was excellent and very helpful. The two guys on the zip line Shaquille and his colleagues were fanatic. the horse riding was so great I would ha e gone again strait way even though I was nervous about getting on a horse.Written September 17, 2024

- 856lazaram0 contributionsTranquil experienceVery serene and tranquil ride along the river. Really enjoyable experience. It was fairly quiet and our captains didn't give any added commentary but they were pleasant and it was a pleasure to watch their rafting skills. I'd recommend.Written August 8, 2024
- davidbL9786IR0 contributionsSky high zip liningTruly remarkable experience with Lennie and Smiley who looked after us on the tour safely. Well worth the entrance fee with some sky high views of the fallsWritten July 19, 2024
- Balham10660 contributionsReally Informative - Worth A VisitShould you visit Jamaica it’s worth visiting Appleton Rum Estate. Very informative. Beautiful Grounds. Great to able to do the Rum Tasting & to know how the Rum is made. Please note:- Subject to where you are travelling from, the drive from Falmouth took my family & I a painstaking, almost 4 hours …… 😫 Estate opens from Tuesdays 9.00am to 3.30pm So, set off early!!!! Our guide-tour was good, interactive & funny 😃 Price:- £28.00 English Pounds, per person. I was disappointed to be informed, that Jamaica no longer owns Wray & Nephew/Appleton Rum. I will not say any more than that; you will find out yourself, when you visit. If you are a Jamaican resident entry fee is less, residence ID is required. Overall a good family day out.Written July 13, 2024
- ScubaBart0 contributionsFantastic taxi serviceWe have used Triple S Tour and Taxi many times. The service is always outstanding. Senior, and all the people who work for him are the utmost professionals. Always on time, always courteous. I would give them six stars if I could.Written July 4, 2024
- KeishaThom0 contributionsBrilliant day outThis tour was brilliant. Great level of information whilst keeping the tone light and well-paced. Wonderful samples of the various products. Our tour guide was super fun and knowledgeable. The lunch at the end was divine. Would definitely recommend it. We drove from Ocho Rios and the views on the way were so beautiful.Written June 10, 2024

What a fantastic experience whilst on our family holiday in Ocho Rios.
We are a family of 4 (2 adults and a 6 and 9 year old) and were very lucky to have access to a car so we didn't book through a tour operator. We were looking for things to do and saw Calypso White River rafting. After a quick look on youtube, we put the address in the sat nav and drove to the venue. The website states that the sat nav may give the wrong location and this was the case. Luckily the website shows a very handy map so please check that out of travelling by car.
We arrived at Calypso without pre-booking and had no problem booking 4 tubes. We even bought a waterproof phone case. We were then handed over to Ricky our captain who was the best! He was so good with the kids and very entertaining throughout the journey in the river.
The kids felt safe at all times and Ricky ensured we were never split up. We stopped for photos and the rope swing/tyre.
Highly recommend for anyone in Ocho Rios

We are Floridians so of course we are wusses when it comes to water temp so don't expect the warm Caribbean sea water!! This is mountain river water and chilly!!! However, do NOT let that stop you from this fantastic little trip. Get in that tube and GO!!

We visited Calypso River Tubing last week and had such an amazing time! Our guides were incredible - they did a great job keeping us safe and we loved their singing! The first half of the trip down the river has plenty of rapids (but not too big to be scary - just a lot of fun) and the second half was a nice relaxing float down the river. I would highly recommend this excursion to people of all ages!

The tubing experience was great going through the jungle and Dwight the guide was very nice. I didn’t like at the “bar” located about halfway through the tour the “bartender” pushed me to buy the guide a beer. Happy I did the tour probably wouldn’t do it again.

Awesome experience! The guides were fun and we felt safe the entire way. We even got corny jokes from the guide that I plan to use…LOL this was definitely worth the money and I would do it again.

Cannot say enough good things about this place. Our guide (Demar with Demce tours—HIGHLY RECOMMEND) brought us here after the blue hole. This was the perfect relaxing stop. No crowds, exceptional guide Jack, who stayed with us the whole time and made sure we were safe and having a great time. The tubes have wooden bottoms and it is an extremely comfortable and fun ride. Our teenage boys both said they loved it, which means success!
