About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- subeditor20200 contributionsFantastic trip with lots of great photo opportunitiesBrilliant trip . The guides are superb. Go early in the morning when it's less busy. Definitely need beach shoes and a waterproof phone case.Written February 4, 2025
- OanaNikulin0 contributionsWould do it again!You. Must. Do. Marlon and his assistant D were amazing. They’re so organized, thoughtful and hilarious, it’s worth it. We started at the Blue Hole where my husband and I enjoyed our terrible tandem jump (more, don’t try to hold hands jumping 🤣), and swinging from ropes, to a break for lunch. They took our orders ahead of time so everyone got to eat at the same time. From there we went to Dunn’s River Falls. Is it touristy for a reason? Yes. Is it worth it? Yes. Would we do it stain? For sure!Written January 30, 2025
- toddn70 contributionsDunn River Falls is awesome!Overall good trip. It’s a fairly long ride from Montego Bay to the Blue Hole…about 2 hours with traffic one way. Blue hole was fun but not as exciting as I hoped. Dunn River was a blast. Walking up the falls was super cool, never done that before. I would recommend the tour just because of Dunn Rivers. All the guides at the major stops were all good. Clive was a good driver/guide, we enjoyed learning about Jamaica from him.Written January 28, 2025
- Patti M0 contributionsFabulous day!!!The day was very well planned out. Our driver Copelai was awesome and looked after everyone. He handed us over to the tour guides and was there ready to pick us up.Written January 24, 2025
- karenmensah180 contributionsThis is a must, it’s 90 minutes from Montego BayThe tour was not quite what I expected, it was a walking tour of Bob Marley’s family home where he was born and laid to rest with the rest of his family. Inside the home there are performers singing Bob Marley tunes, you see where he wrote Is this Love was written and you also get to see his shrine or tomb where he is resting, along with his mum and other family members. Truly amazing, although I would say that as you walk through the tour, there are so many gift shops, purchasing a candle to lay at his tomb and others, that buy the time the tour ends, you’ve run out of cash to tip the tour guide 😂Written January 23, 2025
- Ruth0160 contributionsThrills and tranquility!This excursion is a must-do adventure! Our driver was Clive, and he ensured that we had a great experience throughout the trip. His knowledge added an extra layer of depth to the experience. He was attentive and engage, and always ready with helpful tips and recommendations. The Blue Hole was a breathtaking oasis, with its crystal clear waters and stunning natural beauty. Dunn's River Falls was the highlight. Climbing the cascading falls was such a exhilarating experience. This one is not to be missed for anyone travelling to Jamaica!Written January 11, 2025
- iluvoc0 contributionsA Few Things to KnowIf you are on a Viking cruise it’s a 2 hour drive from the port. If you have any ankle or hand issues this is not for you. It may look easy but this is strenuous. The staff are super friendly and helpful. Your guide climbs most of the falls with you and assists those in need. WATER SHOES are a must. Great experience just be careful.Written January 11, 2025
- argreisen0 contributionsWorth the driveWe have 6 teenagers and they all agree the excursion was worth the 2-hour drive from our Negril resort. We hadn't expected the drive to be that long that day, but it was a good way to see more of Jamaica. The falls were beautiful and our family enjoyed swinging and jumping in. The only hiccup was that we didn't bring water shoes which may have been recommended in the info but we didn't catch that detail if it was. All 8 of us had to purchase the $10 water shoes (which could have been worse) at the gift shop before going in. We could have elected not to, but we were glad we did in the end because of the rocks. As an FYI (because I like to know these things), there's a gift shop, restaurant, and convenience snacks and drinks at YS Falls if needed. There's also a changing area and restrooms of course. The second half of the excursion was the Black River safari starting with lunch. Our kids really liked the food. The boat safari was wonderful. There were several huge crocodiles, one of which was 75 years old and 18 feet long. It was massive. I just wanted to denote that because we've been on other crocodile excursions in the states and we were disappointed by only seeing a few really small ones. The driver was nice and the shuttle was comfortable. All in all I would recommend this trip, but be prepared for a long day that's half driving. We left at 8am and were back to our Negril resort at 4:30pm.Written January 9, 2025
- Viviana W0 contributionsAmazing experience and staff very attentive and caring the whole excursion!Everything from the beginning was wonderful. Guides in the falls were amazing and very attentive. Great experience, definitely highly recommended.Written January 4, 2025
- Christopher B0 contributionsGreat day trip for two families with four kids ranging from 8-14 years old.The YS Falls were beautiful. We enjoyed the rope swings and the tour guides did a great job of making sure we had pictures of our memories. It wasn’t too busy on the Tuesday we went. The lunch at the Black River restaurant was delicious. We grabbed some ice cream for the boat ride and enjoyed the beautiful views. We saw several crocodiles and the tour guide was funny and informative. The tour guide that drove the bus was amazing. He gave us a great history of Jamaica and was very enjoyable to be around. Overall a great trip.Written January 4, 2025
- 122laf0 contributionsFantasticWe stayed alive with Clive!! An absolute legend. Navigated the journey safely with the patience of a saint (I don’t think I’d want to drive these roads). Built a great rapport with and among the group. Very knowledgeable on the outbound journey and let us all chill with a movie (had to be cool runnings) and Bob Marly documentary and latest movie coming back. I will be back to survive with Clive again. One LoveWritten January 3, 2025
- darcym4960 contributionsSo disappointed with the travel- do not go if staying in Montego BayI’ll start with the positives, the tour guide and driver were very kind and good fun and the actual Blue Hole and Dunns river were so cool to experience. However, our 8 hour day turned into 13 hours with 7-8 hours travelling. We were unluckily picked up first and therefore dropped off last. We were picked up at 8am and ended up getting dropped off at 9:30pm! In the morning, it took us 3 hours 40 mins to get to the actual blue hole which is meant to be like a 2 hour drive. This was because it took us an hour just picking up people around Montego Bay, then other hotels on the way, from here they then make us go to a souvenir store for 30 minutes in the middle of nowhere. We were also unlucky with one of the groups of people we were with as they kept asking to stop at a pharmacy then would take ages- this happened throughout the day - constantly waiting for one family. And I know this isn’t exactly the excursions fault but they could have encouraged the group to hurry up for the sake of the rest of us who have also payed. We then went to our lunch spot where the cheapest meal is $20, again in the middle of nowhere but to be fair it was nice food. From here they said it would take 15 mins to Dunns river but it actually took like 35 mins. Once we arrived, Dunns river was packed and hardly enjoyable with all the people trying to barge through up the falls. The tour guides there were great but get annoyed if you go off a little bit. After this long day , it then took 4 hours to get home because of the traffic and we unfortunately had to stop and wait for a driver that bus had broken down. Again not their fault , but it did kind of ruin our trip due to the length of the journey being so long already and there was no form of compensation and not really apologies. So I would recommend doing the Blue Hole and Dunns river only if you’re staying close to Ochos Rios.Written December 31, 2024
- aref_sam0 contributionsExcellent day tour with the best 3 attractionsThe SNL tour of blue hole, secret falls, and Dunn river's falls was excellent. Our tour guide, Clive, was very kind, knowledgeable, and helpful. If you want to do a day tour, look no further. I highly recommend this tour. Make sure to have waterproof phone case with you or buy one when you get there. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Written December 30, 2024

- warrenz20160 contributionsFun, Scenic, and Well-Organized Day TripI want to clarify upfront that this review is for the Dunn River Falls, Blue Hole, and Secret Falls tour, as the operator kindly rebooked me from the YS Falls and Black River Safari tour at no extra charge due to low interest in the latter. This thoughtful accommodation allowed me to join a group traveling on Christmas Day, which was greatly appreciated. — Transportation & Group Dynamics: The transport did take some time due to multiple pickups and stops, but the driver more than made up for it with humor and a welcoming attitude. He engaged everyone with jokes and even hosted a fun trivia game, which helped pass the time and set a positive tone for the day. The operators ensured there were opportunities for bathroom breaks, refreshment purchases, and even souvenir shopping, making the journey feel well-paced. — Destination 1: Dunn River Falls Experience Upon arrival, there was a bit of a wait due to the popularity of the site, but once we started, the experience was truly enjoyable. The falls were beautiful, and the activity itself was well-organized and fun. However, at the end of this portion, the guides became a bit pushy when requesting tips. While I felt somewhat guilted into tipping more than I intended (due to limited local currency on hand), I understand this isn't reflective of the tour operator but something for future travelers to be aware of. — Destination 2: Blue Hole and Secret Falls At the next stop, participants were given the freedom to engage at their comfort level—whether diving, rope swinging, or simply observing. I personally participated and found the activities thrilling and the scenery breathtaking. The camaraderie among the group of strangers was a delightful bonus, making the experience even more memorable. — Return Journey & Final Impressions: The return trip was straightforward and scenic, though understandably long. Overall, it was a fantastic way to spend a day. — Tips for Future Travelers A couple of takeaways: 1. Be mindful of tipping—it's always helpful to have smaller denominations in local currency to avoid overextending. 2. Expect some delays during transport and at popular sites, but rest assured the experience is worth it. In summary, this was a well-organized and thoroughly enjoyable excursion. The operator’s efforts to create a friendly, fun, and flexible experience were evident, making it a memorable day for all involved.Written December 28, 2024

Well, first of all, I did not think that I could climb to the top of the falls. I surprised myself though, I was out of breath, but I made it, even took the plunge. It's a bit scary at times, but it's all worth it when you reach the top and say " I made it !"

It was not clear who the tour operator is. However it appears the private tour operators have been pushed out of Falmouth by strong arm. tactics. This is the ONLY place I recommend buying a ship tour and NOT taking a private tour operator. The ships tours are no more money in Falmouth and have a lovely bus with a moderator using a microphone telling you everything you should watch for. This outfit\t was really lame. The driver could not be heard when he DID speak at all. I doubt it was a reputable firm though it was all that was available with hawkers controlling every tour. Probably the worst tour we have ever taken for the most money. TAKE THE SHIP TOUR IN FALMOUTH. We never did learn who the operator was. Bad deal.

Lindsay and Natalia hosted our group of 8 (4 couples) for a Dunn's River excursion that we independently booked as part of a cruise. The tour bus was clean, air conditioned and comfortable for our whole party with room to spare. Lindsay showed immense knowledge about all points of interest along the way including questions we asked him on the fl. They were courteous and professional and very accomodating. They picked up and dropped off timely. We could also clearly tell that they had experience with the cruise lines and relationships with Dunn's staff, local port security in Falmouth, and the folks at Scottie's, which was a great off the beaten path restaurant we had lunch at in Jamaica, courtesy of SNL. I would book with Lindsay and Natalia again in a heartbeat.
