          Guests will experience rafting down the Rio Grande, another exciting outing and is said to have been started by Errol Flynn. Rio Grande Rafting offers 6 miles (10km) cruises on bamboo rafts for two, poled by expert raftsmen through spectacular scenery. The trip can take between two and three hours.

          The Most Fun We've Had in a While!!
          Wow! This was the MOST FUN we've had in a while! The day started off a bit rainy which kept many away, and there was no cruise ship docked in Ocho Rios, so we nearly had the entire place to ourselves! We opted for the $159.00 gold package which basically gave us access to everything, including unlimited rides. We also went ziplining, which was a ball! We had the fried chicken sandwich for lunch, and it was delicious! The staffers we met were extremely helpful and very friendly, always smiling and willing to help with whatever we needed. I most loved the Jamaican Bobsled Ride. If it's not too busy and you have the guts, ask the operator to set your sled on what they call the Red Bull" setting and then NEVER apply the brakes! You will not believe how fast that baby will travel! Our only regret was when we had to leave because they were closing! Highly recommended!

          Awesome Trip!
          We had a wonderful afternoon on the Martha Brae with our tour guide Frank. It was a blast. I definitely recommend this tour. We did it as an excursion with Royal Caribbean and it didn't disappoint. We saw wildlife including lots of different birds and cranes, a Cow and her baby, lots of neat flowers and it was just a really nice tour. There were very hard rains the day prior to our tour, so the river was a little mucky, but it was still amazing!

          Amazing view and fun ride
          My 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.

          I 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!

          Fun, 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.

          Beware the White Witch
          OMG 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 time

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.

          Sky high zip lining
          Truly 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 falls

          Really Informative - Worth A Visit
          Should 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.

          Fantastic taxi service
          We 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.

        Michael our expert rafter took us along the Rio and having decades of experience, thrilled us with navigating his raft through rapids and calm waters gliding for 2 ½ hours sharing stories of all the famous people he has hosted over the years. Sean Connery, Beyoncé, Daniel Craig, the list goes on. We stopped for a cold red stripe at the big rock bar, enjoyed several swims along the way, the nature, the beauty and the history of rafting which started with delivering bananas to town and Errol Flynn came and suggested to add a seat to the raft and people would pay for that experience. Tourism flourished from there. A completely unique experience, bring sun coverage and a bathing suit. A truly great time!!

        This was all a positive experience- booking was smooth, driver was friendly, connection with the raft captain went well. Captain Pablo was outgoing, helpful, and full of information. The lunch stop included time for a swim, and it was great. Bring sunscreen, suit and towel Belinda’s red snapper lunch was fresh and delicious. So glad we tried it! About $2500 Jamaican. Driver was waiting at the end of the trip. Gorgeous weather, secluded and quiet route. Birds were the only visible animal. So glad we did this adventure.

        Very 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.
