Fun place, we would do it again. The falls are great. - Good time, nice water and our guide was fun and very informative. This place is back in the hills a bit, out of ocho rios. We spent about two hours there and it was $10US. We would do it again.

Best tour guide ever - Our tour guide was Omar, and he was absolutely amazing. He showed up on time, and had great conversation the whole ride to and from. My friends and I mentioned amongst ourselves that we were hungry, not even 10 minutes later Omar stopped us by a fruit stand. We went shopping at great places, where Omar helped my friends and understand the currency better. After our Blue Hole experience, which was amazing. Omar took us to a popular food bar, and it was the best food I’ve eaten in Jamaica. Anywhere we wanted to stop and take pictures Omar was more than happy to do so. He also took us to get our COVID test at a cheaper location, because the only ones us ladies could find were costly. Overall I enjoyed my day with Omar, please ask to book with him and you won’t regret it.

Awesome Day - This was a very great for us. The driver was on time and it cost us way less than what we would pay other companies. The blue hole was amazing and I would recommend doing this tour.

Great Day - This was the first time we booked our excursion from home through TripAdvisor. We would usually book our excursion at the resort. Let me start by saying I will always be booking from now on through TripAdvisor. We had a driver "Jeremy" pick us up on time at our resort. There was only us plus another couple in the vehicle. No other pick-ups at other resorts. Jeremy explain the history of the Island and show us things on the way. We arrived and Neal was our guide, our picture taker, etc. Neal did an awesome job with us. Thank you so much Neal for making this a great day. Once we were done at Blue Hole we went to Scotties for some real Jerk Chicken. Then we were off to a little shopping store. Would definite recommend this tour. No crowds, no line ups, no pick ups alone the way.

Great trip - This excursion was amazing love it had such a great time, way better then dunns river the driver was great so was the tour guide the jumps are awesome but you dont have to jump in if you dont want to. You will need to do a little hiking to get to the falls but it really isnt bad they have made some pretty clear walk ways

Weather conditions - They cancel the trip because of weather conditions which is understandable but it didn’t rain at all yesterday. At least they was nice enough to refund half what I paid for. Will try again next visit

Think twice - We were asked to switch to the blue hole plus Dunns River falls as they did not have enough people for the original date we picked. My biggest issue with this trip is it was 13 hours in total instead of the advertised 8. Also they don't mention that the hike up and through the falls is actually pretty scary one wrong move and your done! I was terrified! The request for constant tips was also pretty annoying :(

Disappointing - What you see after a 3-4 hour drive from the Grand Palladium resort is a tiny pool and waterfall. I guess if you've never jumped into a pool of water from an edge or a rope swing you may find this fun. You have 45 minutes at the park and must stay with your guide. You also see small merchants at every corner. This tour was certainly not worth wasting an entire day driving 7 hours. Don't let anyone fool you, traffic is a constant. I was one of the early fans of Tripadvisor, but the information they mostly provide now is where they can earn a profit from a tour, resort, or hotel. The island has alot of beautiful areas to visit, however, that is not what you will learn from TripAdvisor anymore. Goodby Tripadvisor, your corporate strategy for earnings will be your doom, and for that I will not be sorry to see you go.
