Lovely experience and our tour guide Danielle was the best - My friends and I did the Atv and bamboo rafting and the lunch at Linda's. It was really good. Danielle was our tour guide and she was soo nice and accommodating. She also went her way to take us out the next day to explore the town centre which was soo nice of her. Loved the experience and would definitely recommend

Family friendly Tours - We recently did the bamboo rafting , visited dunns river falls, and did river tubing with Taste the Tropics Tours, and it was one of the highlights of our trip! It was myself, my husband, and our four-year-old, and the entire experience was smooth, peaceful, and perfect for families. From the start, Shavaon the host warm, professional, and attentive. He made us feel safe and welcome The river was calm and the scenery was stunning—lush greenery, overhanging trees, and the gentle sound of the water made for a serene experience. It was the perfect balance of relaxation and discovery. Our guide also shared fascinating insights about the local area and culture, which made the journey even more meaningful. What really stood out was how family-friendly it was. Our child was completely at ease, and we never once felt rushed. The raft was stable, and there were opportunities to dip our feet in the cool water—such a fun little moment. If you're looking for something laid-back, scenic, and suitable for all ages, I highly recommend this bamboo rafting and all pther tours Shavaon offers at taste thr Tropics experience with Taste the Tropics Tours. It’s a beautiful way to slow down and truly take in the natural beauty of the tropics. The falls were amazing and easy to climb with a four year old she did incredibly well with the help of the falls guide . I would 10000 times book with Taste the Tropics Tours and recommend to all Thank you Taste the tropics tours love from the Daleys

My unforgettable adventure with Taste the tropics - If you're planning a trip to Jamaica, do yourself a favor and book with Taste the Tropics! This company completely transformed my vacation into a thrilling, flavor-packed adventure that I’ll never forget.Every activity was thoughtfully planned, giving us a perfect mix of culture, fun, and relaxation. My favorite experience was bamboo rafting. It felt like something out of a dream. Taste the Tropics didn’t just show me Jamaica; they made me feel it. Ten out of ten. I'll definitely be back for round two!

Great experience, but room to improve - We had a great time bamboo rafting in Ocho Rios. The guides make this incredibly fun singing and dancing during the experience. The limestone massage was nice, but a little short and somewhat pricey - make sure you barter. I thought the river itself would be longer, but this is not the White River. This is just a short ride down to the beach and back. My biggest criticism would be the amount of trash at the beach and in the river, which is flowing into the ocean. The nature is so beautiful and I don't understand how the company doesn't take care of the very thing making them money. Taste the tropics was fine, but they are just a middle man between tourists and the river guides. They seemed more concerned about getting marketing photos than they did ensuring we would have a great experience. However, it was really great that kids 6 and under are free. Overall I would recommend the bamboo rafting, but I'd opt for the White River for a longer ride.

Watch out for scams - Nice day but we are told that we will have the best prices for our purchases and finally it is a total scam. Back at the hotel we found the same products at half price! Very friendly driver but to have us better... In short, if I have one piece of advice, check the value of your products beforehand.
