Perfect trip to Blue Hole and Donna River Falls - What a wonderful trip this was !!!! Jethro and Hudingo took a such great care of us from the very beginning to the very end !!! I would HIGHLY recommend this to all travelers !! The Blue Hole and Donna River Falls is a can’t miss . To have private guides and transportation is the only way to go in Jamaica!! They told us all about the island and made sure we were always taken care of !!!!! I can never thank them enough !!

Awesome experience - Our tour guide Glen was awesome! He was easy going. Flexible with our time constraint (it was just my husband and myself) we felt safe with him. Some of the vendors at Blue Hole and Dunns River were off-putting but that's was no fault to this tour. He was a great driver. If/when we come back we will request Glen again. He knew all the cool places to stop.

fantastic experience - This was definitely a fantastic experience. Clyde our tour guide made the trip fun and informative recommending places to eat lunch and shop for authentic souvenirs. Dunn falls is a must see even though it is highly commercialized its sheer natural beauty still stands out and its quite an adventure climbing up those rocks. Blue Hole is extremely less commercialized and just as beautiful with much more fun activities such as rope to swing from and caves behind the waterfalls. Highly recommend this tour!

Our trip to the Blue Hole and Dunn's... - <p>Our trip to the Blue Hole and Dunn's River was simply amazing. Our driver KJ was courteous, friendly and very knowledgeable about Jamaica and its rich culture. While at the beautiful Blue Hole, Jamar took my family on an adventure through the rainforest until we reached the phenomenal cliffs that we were able to jump off of into the refreshing water below. Our experience at the Blue Hole was like no other! Following we visited Dunn's River Falls which was nice but a lot more commercialized and crowded. Definitely worth seeing but once is probably enough. Following our adventures we grabbed lunch at Scothchies for some amazing jerk chicken and pork. The day in Jamaica was a wonderful and memorable experience thanks to the local touch of both KJ and Jamar. When we return, we will definitely revisit the Blue Hole where we hope to see Jamar again and its our hope that KJ can drive us there! I cannot say enough positive things about those two and our experience in Jamaica!</p>

When I booked this tour, I fully... - <p>When I booked this tour, I fully expected to be in a van with a few other people, which I figured was still better than the cruise ship busses. We ended up with a private driver and a great day! Navar met us in the private tour area and called us by name immediately so there was no anxiety about whether we were in the right place. We got on the road and had a great conversation about the places we were passing as we drove. On the way to Dunn's River Falls, we stopped a couple of places for pictures and had a quick tour of some artifacts in a roadside museum. Both stops were a little unexpected and obviously pre-arranged between our driver and the folks selling their wares at each place but were worth the time and we would never have had those experiences if we had been crammed on a cruise ship bus. I was glad to have had a few small bills to thank our tour guide at the museum. </p> <p>When we got to the Falls, Navar gave us advice about going up with or without a guide and about how to pass through the vendors at the exit and sent us on our way. We opted to climb the Falls without a guide and that was a good choice for us. We were given the occasional helping hand in trickier spots but for the most part could climb without waiting for a big group. The first section is the most daunting and once I got up that part I could relax and enjoy. We had water shoes and swim suits but there were people climbing in all kinds of attire. I even watched one woman climb with an everyday purse over her shoulder! It got soaked.</p> <p>We got through most of the Falls and decided we'd done what we wanted to do so we headed out. Navar's advice to keep walking and not engage was good and we got through the dozens and dozens of vendors without too much issue. It's definitely high-pressure but because there's always someone behind you, the vendors don't spend too much time with anyone who doesn't respond. We prepared our daughter by telling her that while it might seem rude, we just needed to keep walking. Climbing the Falls was a great experience and I'm so glad we did it!</p> <p>When we were done at Dunn's River Falls, Navar was waiting in the parking lot and we were off to Blue Hole. Again, we learned a lot about the countryside and the culture as we made the drive. When we got to Blue Hole, we were taken right to a guide without the option to do it on our own. That turned out to be a really good thing. I thought the Falls would be our adventure for the day and that Blue Hole would be a more relaxing tour. Blue Hole turned out to be just as much excitement - and effort. We climbed rocks and jumped off platforms, all with Odean's help to navigate and steady us in the tricky places. While it wasn't what I expected swimming around in a serene pool, it was amazing. With the right expectation, it's a blast.</p> <p>There was a little miscommunication between Viator and the contracted tour company. The price we paid was supposed to cover our admission to both places and our driver was only expecting two adults so he was only planning to pay our admissions. I showed him our confirmation which included our daughter and he was able to sort it out while we were climbing the Falls. It was a very small glitch in an otherwise great day.</p> <p>While it wasn't what I expected, it turned out to be even better. We had no issues getting back to the ship on time, despite the distances we traveled from Falmouth, and I have no doubt we had experiences no one else had.</p>

The Blue hole was amazing! Definitely go with a guide as they will show you where to step, jump and what is safe.</p>

Never Again - The blue whole was awesome and our guide that we had from the blue whole was AMAZING! Trip Started out good. Initially driver( Courtney) friendly. Then about half way it became uncomfortable. He changed and hardly spoke the entire hour an a half back to boat( I was sitting up front next to him). The van almost broke down would not shift and we all were very nervous being stuck on side of road in Jamaica. Especially with all the warnings about Jamaica not being safe. It did not look safe!Once we were safely out of his van and at our port we all agreed that we had become very uncomfortable! He also tried to make the 5 of us buy $25 towels/ each and took us to a very SHADY TOURIST TRAP Souvenir shop ( back alley behind everything)Higher prices than port area( he said much cheaper) again felt so shady…..uncomfortable and glad it turned out okay.( us getting back safely!) I thought us being in our family being in our own air conditioned van was great until I realized we didn’t feel safe with him anymore and it was just us.
