Excellent Jamaican Adventure - Transportation: Our private driver was Dalton of Quest Tours, and he was absolutely amazing! He came highly recommend on several Jamaica travel platforms and I was very pleased to meet him. He was very personable and genuine. He gave us a rich and detailed history of the parishes and towns that we drove through and were visiting. Dalton was not only our tour guide, but also our photographer! He made sure to capture beautiful photos and sent them to me within hours after our adventure. Dalton stopped at a local farm stand and purchased sugar cane fruit for us and we all shared in some of the sweet treat. To me, this is above and beyond …but there’s more. I work in banking and have a passion for coin collecting. Dalton gave me some Jamaican coins to take home. I would absolutely recommend him and Quest Tours.
Horseback Riding: As a first-time rider, I felt very comfortable and confident after a brief lesson. I rode Biscuit and my husband rode Charlie. They were very calm and friendly horses. The guides stayed right with our group and made sure we felt secure. They also made sure to ask how wet we wanted to get prior to riding in the ocean. One of the guides also went out of his way to take pictures and videos with my phone. There was also a photographer with the option to purchase pictures. We decided to purchase the pictures - 117 photos for $60.00 digitally sent (within an hour of departing).
Bamboo Rafting: Our adventure took place on Rio Nuevo. Our captain was Andre, who was highly recommended. He was very accommodating with music choices, conversation with local history and plants used in holistic medicines. We made a quick stop to Tony’s drink stand. I got a “jelly” (young coconut) water. It was very refreshing in the heat. There were many options for beverages. At the end of the outlet, we stopped for a limestone massage. Andre was very professional and gentle with my skin during the massage. He provided all of the beneficial properties of limestone and its history. There were also some local vendors at the outlet who had various wares and services - paintings, beaded jewelry, souvenirs, snacks, beverages, hair braiding, massages.
I would recommend this experience on your next trip to Jamaica. I would advise to bring a little extra cash and possibly a towel to dry off before the ride back to your resort.

Top notch! - What a great tour! Our day with Dalton was the highlight of our trip. We had an amazing time on the bamboo raft and then horseback riding on the beach. All of our guides were so accommodating and friendly. They insured that we had a great Jamaican experience. I highly recommend Quest Tours!

Bamboo Rafting and Horeseback riding - I went with my sisters and mom and we LOVED this experience. Our tour guide Mr. Dalton was amazing. He gave us so much insight on the towns we were driving through and allowed us to experience a true Jamaican experience. My sisters loved how interactive he was and made sure that we were comfortable the whole way. We were able to try authentic Jamaican patties and sugar cane. I would recommend this tour guide a million times

1000/10 experience - Dalton with Quest Tours was AMAZING. He arrived on time with a nice clean vehicle. We had 8 people in our group. Dalton was very friendly and gave us history of the land as we were driving to each destination. It was a true private tour nobody else was paired with us. We were the only ones at the bamboo raft which was lovely. We got to pick out the rafts and Dalton got our wristbands for us. Dalton made extra stops at the local market and Jerk Chicken Cafe with no questions or extra charges. He took care of our family very well we were more then pleased with our experience! If we return again we will definitely book again with Quest Tours!

Amazing tour and tour guide.... - I would definitely recommend this tour it was amazing. Our private tour guide named Dalton was very knowledgeable about Ocho Rios and the different attractions throughout the city. He explained to us about the different parishes, cities, and how everything worked. He also took us to get some jerk chicken from a local cuisine next to a gift shop named KJT souvenirs. The next time I come I'll be looking for Dalton again. Thanks again Dalton and I can't wait to come back here soon.

Bamboo rafting & Horseback riding - This was such an amazing private excursion!!! Horse back riding was my favorite part!! I fully injoyed myself the whole time. We really appreciated Dalton (our tour guide) also driving us around sight seeing and giving us a tour of jamaica ochi, as this was our only outing from our resort. He went above and beyond what we were expecting. It was an awesome bonus for a trip to be remembered forever!! I'll definitely be booking with quest tours for all future visits!! Thanks quest tours!!!

Do not think twice about booking with this tour company! - Well we were lucky enough to have Dalton as our driver and guide. He was absolutely amazing. The bamboo raft is def an experience to be had and can't remember how long it has been since I ran down a beach on a horse! We would recommend this tour company to anyone who is interested in making priceless memories.
