Best visit ever!! This place is amazing! I will never forget how beautifulit was EVEN on a rainy day! We were a group of 12 ages 4-38 and everyone loved it! Our 6 year olds jumped the falls ♡ we were blessed with a guide named Mike, I will add pictures not only did he stick with every adult to make sure every step was safe but we never even needed to ask him for extra help with the kids. In general strangers don't touch or hold my children. You will see pictures where he easily just pick them up and carried them safely for us without any prompting! This visit could have felt a bit scary with so many children and so many people walking through Rushing Water and jumping off of literal waterfalls LOL. Because of him we had the absolute Time Of Our Lives! My brother even lost his gopro despite expecting someone to just point at all the signs saying they aren't responsible for lost articles the staff jumped right in and searched and amazingly in water where we couldn't even touch the bottom that flowed into more waterfalls they found it! Mike if we ever come back we won't settle for ANYONE except you!!!

BLOWN AWAY First trip to Jamaica and was brought to this gem of a place by Coleman K Jamaica Tours! And speechless, breathless and blown away! When you arrive ask for ROMAINE (just like the lettuce) and you'll have the time of your life. He'll take all of your photos and video for you of you and the falls and all you have to does enjoy yourself and have the time of your life! Tell them J. sent you and you won't regret it!

Also have Romaine sing to you the island gully Jamaica song! His energy is amazing and his passion for making sure visitors are well informed and having the best time of their life in nature is truly incredible.

And don't forget to swing from a rope and plunge in or like we did just dive in from cliff or take your time and climb down the rocks.

Shore Excursion Had 6 hours in Ochos and arranged private tour through Jacques Tours (see separate review ) Arrived at falls expecting a swim and ended up with a great adventure clambering over the waterfall and jumping from cliffs into one swimhole after another. Our guide at the falls , Dante , was brilliant. Yeah Man !!!! If you want to get away from the samo samo cruise excursion go here!!!!!

Great We went to see "the real Jamaica" and to be honest there's nothing quite like it. Dave was punctual and had good energy the entire trip.

Can’t wait to go back!! One of the best excursions we have ever been on. We booked through TripAdvisor > Viator > Chris. I received a prompt call and great customer service.

Our driver, Kelly, was on time and gave us a great overview of the island! Our falls guide was Captain Alex. He is very good and knows the falls very well. Every rock and step - he was about safety and then fun. He encouraged and motivated us to push ourselves. My son (9) was so happy and did well while I was so scared. Captain Alex was truly amazing and I will request him when I go back!

Now I didn’t expect to pay so much for the pictures ($60) and it is very overpriced. I read someone else paid $50 so we should have haggled more.

Remember this:
- bring cash
- the guides are worth tipping extra, especially Captain Alex!
- it’s cold
- it’s worth it
- they have free life jackets - get one. I can swim pretty well and I didn’t get one. But I fell so far in the water that it took me a long time to get to the surface. I started to panic alittle.
- have someone take pictures who is too scared to jump to avoid the crazy picture fee.

Enjoyed every moment of our holiday made even more special with the no1 tour guide in Ocho Rio’s David Reid - Pashon you We had the best experience with David Reid from Pashon tours, time keeping, hospitality, local knowledge was the best, he took us to remote places and stayed with us, to ensure our safety especially as we had young kids with us as well.

I would 100% recommend David as your no1 tour guide when visiting Ocho Rio’s hands down.

After spending one day ((out of 3 days)with him, we didn’t even question his prices, it was worth every penny.

One love to David from Pashon tours, I hope many more people will see this post and book him.

Carnival Excursion: Tubing, Zipling, Blue Hole with lunch Beverly was our guide for the day & Damion was our driver. We were with our group of 11 plus 6 other people but never felt like we were in too big of a group. It should also be noted that we were cruising during spring break so the port was VERY busy. Never once did we feel any location/activity was crowded and we pretty much did activities with just our group. I would NEVER drive in Jamaica. Terrifying! Our driver handled the sketchy drive up the mountain wish ease and expertise. Beverly was a saint! She handled our children as if they were her own. She was always keeping an eye out for the "babies" and made sure we, the parents, enjoyed ourselves. Tubing was fantastic. Our guides phenomenal (I wish I remembered their names) the water was clear and refreshing. There was some moments with rapidish moving water but was safe for even the smallest kiddos. We all got off the river laughing and really enjoyed the experience. We then went on to zipling. My 9 year old absolutely refused to zipline so I said one of us would stay back with him but Beverly stepped in said No way! She would take care of my baby so I could enjoy myself. His dad ended up staying back with him but the gesture was appreciated. A worker who was busy fitting people in harnesses even stopped what she was doing to take my son to the side and have a little talk about how she would keep him safe (it didnt work). She didnt have to do that the customer service is out of this world. The zipling was very exciting! You do have to hike up quite a few flights of steep stairs to get to the starting point. Once started you zipline to (I believe it was) 4 platforms. After ziplining we were ushered to a shaded area for jerk chicken, rice & beans, and salad. We were afraid some of the kids wouldn't like lunch but we all enjoyed it. They also served Rum punch and fruit punch. The Rumpunch was enjoyed by all the adults:) We then drove via bus to the Blue Hole. Guys it was SO beautiful! The guide assigned to us (sooo wish I remembered names) was exceptionally kind. He maneuvered us up to the top and safely got us jumping from each section! Even the most cowardly of the group (me..haha) gave it a go!

We did have some in our group partake in Marijuana smoking. It was readily available for those concerned on finding it. For anyone concerned about the kids noticing it.. I never noticed the transaction and neither did the kids. When they smoked Beverly was happy to entertain the kids for a few minutes. Guys, I told you the lady was a Saint.

All & all it was an absolutely perfect day. I do have to say though: The guides & workers we encountered are truly what made the experience. Customer service the likes I've never encountered before. This one day made Jamaica steal my heart and I can not wait to return!

Best tour guide in Ocho Rios Dave is great! He took us to the best attractions and showed us around the city. He is very knowledgeable of the area and seems to love sharing it! I would recommend him to anyone wanting a tour or transportation!

Magical, love Jamaica! Very friendly and knowledgeable. Each excursions does require tips and cash only, make sure to bring cash!!! However, all excursions were wonderful and enjoyed being alone with my spouse, made for a great turnout!
