Highlights
  • Island Transfer - Your tour begins with pick up directly from the Montego Bay cruise ship port where your friendly driver/guide will greet you and take you on a sightseeing tour through the hills of the garden parish of St Ann away from the bustling touristy city of Ocho Rios. The Blue Hole is a non-commercialized attraction. It is located in a secluded and relatively untouched area. At the Blue Hole you can swim in the natural pool, relax under the secret falls or jump in from the rocks and rope swing above.

Following the Blue Hole you will take a one hour drive back to the tourist area of Ocho Rios for your Dunn’s River Falls tour. Enjoy the waterfalls which are moderately mild in some places and extremely rough in others. You can climb all the way through the cascading water to the top with the assistance of experience fall guides or on your own. Feel free to stop at the massage parlor and enjoy the soothing cascading water leading out to the sea. Once you are at the top, visitors will step into a market selling Jamaican treasures such as wood carvings, original art and straw crafts. Feel free to look around for something to take home for a loved one or just something to brighten your day. Your Dunn’s River Falls stop is approximately 1.5 hours.

After your Dunn’s River Falls experience, you may choose to head back to the ship or have lunch at a local restaurant.

Fantastic Day Trip - Our family of six took this tour and had a wonderful time. The tour operator, Island Transfer and Tours, agreed to pick us up at our Montego Bay hotel instead of the cruise port. We had an excellent driver, who gave us a lot of interesting and colorful information about the north shore during our drive to Ocho Rios. Both sites - Blue Hole and Dunn's River Falls- were fun and exciting. The Blue Hole was not what I expected - it was much better! It involves a very scenic and interesting hike along the river with two different places to jump in. The walk up Dunn's River Falls is amazing. All of us had a great time, and we would definitely recommend this tour to anyone looking for a full day adventure.

Great driver, made a long drive fun! - I've been to Montego Bay for years with my family and have always had a great time, but the long drives for excursions is always tiring. This year we used Island transfers and our driver Clyde made the long trip fun and entertaining for everyone. He had a fun, family friendly energy that made the time fly by and was so fun that I'll remember not only the excursion, but the drive for years to come! Will definitely use them again, and hopefully get our favorite driver Clyde when we return!

Byron! - Great vibes since we were picked up from our hotel! I had so much fun at both excursions especially Dunns River! I climbed the falls as a child but this time the group was accompanied by a tour guide. He even made a pit stop at a craft market. He was respectful and had no problem showing us the ropes. I highly recommend their services.

Best TOUR ever - Byron was a great tour guide to Blue Hole. It was an amazing experience and I woupd recommend everyone having him as your guide. He was very HELPFUL and NICE and didn't tale advantage of us being we are from America. Well taking care of. Had the best guides lined up for us at BLUE HOLE and it was fun. Daring but fun!!!

GREAT Jeep Tour of the island - Keisha was our driver and gave us an excellent background and tour of the Island. We saw the waterfall, and drove deep into the jungle. At lunch we had Jerk Chicken and learned much about the island.

Dunn River Falls Tour - Awesome but an extreme workout. Be prepared to be sore the next day if you are not in great shape. Wonderful experience and would definitely recommend. Must do at least once in a lifetime!

Private shuttle to and from the resort. - KJ is amazing, he was funny, informative and made the drive go by quickly. I recommend this company to anyone who might be traveling to Jamaica.

Professional Transportation Company - It was overall a great experience. The driver was kind, patient and very knowledgeable. We felt safe on the drive from Montego Bay to Ochos Rios. Communication was great. We had to change our reversion because one person didn’t make it to Jamaica and they gave us no issues. The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is because the ticket for Dunn’s River wasn’t purchased in advance so we had to wait over an hour in the hot sun to get in. Our driver did stand in line for us and allowed us to sit which was very nice. Just a tip: in my opinion if are spending a while in Jamaica I would do Dunn’s River and Blue Hole separately. Blue Hole is pretty quick once you do the jumping but there is so much to do at Dunn’s River (beach, whirlpool, mini water park for kids, and of course climbing up the water fall). We didn’t get to spend much time there but you really can be there all day. Also just in case you didn’t pay attention, this does not include a guide at Dunn’s River.

Be prepared to have tip money on your person when you enter the Falls! - Spence was prompt and on time to pick us up at our hotel. His car was nice and he was very professional. My husband and I were visiting Jamaica for the first time for our anniversary. He provided a safe trip to the falls and Blue Hole. Some things that I feel should have been communicated by Island Tours in the description or by the driver when we were on the trip. 1. Spence dropped us off at Dunn's River Falls (he bought our tickets and said to leave everything in the car.) YOU CANNOT GET BACK OUT TO THE VEHICLE ONCE YOU GO INSIDE. We had 2 guides inside that wanted tips...but our money was in the car. There were vendors and food. We took no water, towels, or money because we were told to leave everything in the car. We couldn't buy the pictures or anything from our tour because we did as directed. This was very disappointing. There are lockers for rent inside. I have been on private tours in the past from private companies, and the tour guide accompanied us. I think this should have been more clear. 2. I was smarter when we got to the Blue Hole and was told to leave everything in the car. I took money for a tip! Again you will have guides that you will be expected to tip. The Blue Hole was a highlight of our trip, and I would definitely go again. 3. Our lunch stop was fantastic. But I didn't anticipate purchasing lunch for our driver too. It wasn't expensive, I just think that again, that should be communicated in advance. So...be prepared to tip 2 guides at Dunn's River Falls, 2 guides at Blue Hole, and have everything you want with you. We had the cash, but it was locked in the car with our waters and towels.
