Dunn's River Falls Party Cruise, Blue Hole with Snorkeling, free beverages

60th birthday celebration

Amazing!! We loved Jodi and Omar with Courtney Taylor Tours. They were patient kind and very accommodating. They took us for souvenirs and water shoes when we forget them. The rum tasting at the souvenir shop was amazing! We throughly enjoyed ourselves

Great Day!!

Jody and Omar were amazing tour guide and driver, both were very patient and accomodating. They took us to a souvenir store to retrieve items we needed for the excursions and took us to Linda’s for lunch before our catamaran party cruise. The entire day was fun and exciting!!

Dunns River

This was such a great experience! I enjoyed all of the excursions. Jody was amazing!!! The driver Omar was so nice and helpful as well

Amazing 🤩

Had an awesome time, every venue was spectacular. Big up to Rajaye!!!! He made us feel like family. Will definitely do this again. One Live.

Great day out ! You get so much out of one day - Detailed Review Below !

Overall a really good day out as a couple ! Just a few things to be aware of: Bring your own food/snacks/drinks if your able to Bring lots of cash for food/drinks/tips and souvenirs Get in line for the snorkelling equipment asap Start of the day - 8:30am pick up time We started with a long drive to the blue hole which was at least 40 mins - 1 hour including picking up others and a surprise shopping stop , the shop was actually a highlight as it was alot cheaper than the stores in the hotel that we were staying at. You can buy souvenirs and taste test local. It was like a mini rum taste testing session at 9am in the morning haha. BLUE HOLE When we arrived, a guide walked us through which felt like a back or side entry rather than a front entry, however it may have just been a quiet day. Quite lovely, a lot of nice scenery I would recommend if you're going to buy any warm food to buy food at this point as it's cheap and local food compared to the boat. We were guided up the blue hole and had three different points to jump off into the water. There was a camera guy who took live action shots, however he wanted $40 for around 10 digital pictures. I only wanted one or two and asked for a price on them, but the price given wasn't reasonable so I declined. BOAT Once you leave the blue hole its another 30 minutes to the cruise boat and it takes another 30 mins before you actually board the boat. You won't be bored as you are on a beautiful beach where you can swim or sunbathe with shops ,food and drinks. Please be aware that although they say free beverages you actually don't get any alcohol until the journey back on the boat. For obvious reasons such as having to be some what sober to climb the Dunns River fall and snorkel haha. You do get offered fruit punch and water on the way though. The boat was a lot busier than expected, but there were still enough seats for everyone as the boat was quite big. SNORKELING This was the best part of the trip although we were slightly disappointed about the organization of it. We were quoted to have 45 minutes in the water but because there were so many people the time started from when the boat stopped at the site.Meaning we had 45 mintues to : line up to get equipment , put on the equipment and to line up to get off the boat. Realistically we only had about 15-20 minutes in the water. BOAT The staff announces to pre-order food back due to the amount of people that there is. We refused to buy food as the start range was around $6 for sides and around $20-$40 per meal. We thought this price was way too high and chose to eat croissants that we packed instead. Would highly recommend if you were on a budget to pack food from your hotel for the day as there is no free food included in this day trip. we did not regret getting the food as the portions were quite small when looking at what others recieved. DUNNS RIVER It's really important to bring your own water shoes from home if you are considering multiple excursions in Jamaica as this is one main item that we were asked about a lot during our excursions. They will try and charge you around $15-$30 per pair if you decide to get one on the trip. If not staff will argue with you on whether they can take you up the rivers safely. I do understand why this is as it's quite slippery and theyre reliable to a certain extent but I did it in crocs so you can to but at your own risk ofc. To be honest was too busy and this part of the trip essentially was a human chain with alot of handholding with 50+ people up the side of a river and that wasn't something that we wanted to do when seeing in person. You get an hour and a half at this location so Instead we walked up the stairs along side the river and had a nice view at the top.You can still walk up the stairs and then get in the river at the top without having to do the whole human chain would highly recommend doing it that way, the beach is amazing there too unfortunately no one is selling food or drink at the Dunn River Beach. It's just swimming ,souvenirs and the river/waterfall. PARTY CRUISE Now this is the best part , on the way back they gave out the food orders and served rum punch and they actually advised on getting drunk as they had more than enough alcohol to spare. We sat on the front deck and listen to some music while getting tipsy in the sun, the staff entertained us with dancing and really got the crowd involved. I would highly recommend this trip as it was our favourite excursion, i'll rate the trip 4/5 , Its just missing a point for the lack of appropriate snorkel time :(

Overall totally worth it!!!!

We had such a fun time! Marty and Antony were so amazing! At blue hole we had an amazing tour guide! Ask for pictures on your phone or else you have to pay$60 for the pictures they take. They took us to get town food that was delicious!!! At dunns river, we had an amazing tour guide!! $40 for pictures!! Honestly both worth it, the pictures are adorable. Party boat had great music and only rum punch/rum and coke. But the music was great.

Fun experience

Nordia and Anthony were great hosts. Duration was 8.5 hours. Pay for the food at the port before Catamaran. Food on boat is expensive, spicy, and not great. They do give you a small snack of chicken and bread when you get back on at Dunns falls. Bring cash!! Lots of it! Blue hole is cool and fun. Dunns falls is great. Walking up falls for an hour is something I didn’t expect but fun. And Beautiful!!!

10/10 experience!

Amazing experience all around. Everyone was beyond friendly and helpful during the excursion and plenty to see and do. Our driver, Karlus was incredible and made the trip unforgettable for us! Highly recommend!!!

All over success

I had an amazing experience. It’s started with the reliable transportation that else recieved from our pickup point at Bahia principe luxury. Karlos was our driver, and he was nothing short of amazing. He deserves all the recognition.

Fantastic

Amazing time with nordia and omar. Great guides. Informational and fun at the same time. Would recommend for everyone. Would use again.

Blue Hole/Dunns River Falls with Catamaran and Snorkeling

Full day trip- 9:30a-5:00p. Started at Blue Hole and got to jump in the water from two different spots- beautiful! Then took a catamaran snorkeling and to Dunns River Falls. Climbing the falls was definitely an adventure, but so worth it! All of the guides are very helpful. Finished the day by taking the party cruise back to the dock- rum punch and music the whole way. Our driver, Karlus, was awesome. Took us around, gave us a lot of info and kept us safe the whole way. Great tour for the day to explore some things off the resort!

Amazing Blue Hole and Dunn’s River Falls tour

Blue hole and Dunn’s river falls were awesome! Any adventure lover should do this tour and you will have a great time! Karlus is also the best driver, really informative about all the attractions and everywhere in between as well.

I love Jamaica! Blue Hole, party cruise, and Dunn River Falls was the best!!

We had an amazing time!!! So much fun! Jamaica is beautiful! Every worker was top notch! Our driver, Rajaye, was soooo elite!! I would highly recommend this excursion!!

Amazing! I’d come back!

It was awesome views and appreciated Rajaye’s company throughout the entire drive back and forth to Montego Bay! He made the trip so enjoyable!

Amazing time definitely worth it

The views were amazing and everyone had such great hospitality, will be returning with more people . Karlus is such a great tour guide and would definitely recommended for future tourists .

Yeaaa Monn

Great time with Karlus! Good convo, awesome vibes and overall a great day in the beauty that is Jamaica. Get the fry chicken with rice and peas on the party bus. It was really delicious. I was licking my fingers. Bring money for tips y’all don’t be cheap.

Dunn’s and the Blue Hole

Rajaye was a fantastic driver. Super knowledgale and personable. He made everything go smooth. Dunn’s River falls was beautiful and the blue hole were definitely worth it. Snorkeling was okay, but it was still fun to swim around and see some small fish.

Blue Hole and Dunn’s Falls

Rajaye was our driver and was super friendly, he was timely and informative. Showed us important area in the island, and was super knowledgeable! The tour was amazing, the staff was friendly and kind, kept us safe and they were helpful! The falls are breathtaking and the blue hole is a must see!

Trip canceled

I'm a planner...so, before my vacation trip to Ocho Rios, I spent time looking for tours in the area I could join. Finally, I settled on the party boat tour with stops at Dunn's River Falls and the Blue Hole and was excited to spend the day creating a memory in this new Jamaican environment! Unfortunately, Courtney Taylor Tours decided to cancel this tour the day before citing weather and safety as the concern. They said the Blue Hole was a "muddy mess". Having already been in town for 2 days and seeing only scattered rain together with some sun, I questioned the validity of their claim. Further, I knew that I'd probably never make it back to the area and had no desire to sit at the resort wasting my only chance to see the 2 main local attractions. So, I hired a local driver to take me to both...and glad I did because both places had quite a few tourists enjoying them. I even observed a competitor company " Chukka" tours at Dunn's Falls. There was absolutely nothing unsafe about either area! Courtney Taylor Tours will say otherwise, but the camera doesn't lie. The attached pictures were taken while on my solo trip...NOT their tour. There is only one explanation fir the canceled tour...and it is not safety. They simply didn't have enough people sign up and blamed it on weather. This is unacceptable...as a tourist, your time at a location is valuable...and as noted above, you may never be back to an area. So, you want to see what you can while there...NOT have a tour canceled because their wasn't enough sign-ups and then have it blamed on weather. So, if you are looking for a reliable tour company while in Ocho Rios, look elsewhere...Courtney Taylor Tours isn't it! The proof is in my pictures >

Best Experience

Rajaye was an awesome guide and took care of us from pickup to drop off. Highly recommend Cortney Taylor Tours!

Great Excursion

This was my second time in Jamaica and this is one of the best excursions that offered a lot of activities that lasted pretty much half the day. Dunn’s River and the Blue Hole was amazing. It wasn’t too much walking or climbing as well and the workers there offer to take your pictures for you on your phone as you are doing the excursions (which was perfect for capturing memories). I forget the name of the driving company that took us there but Jodi and Reggie were our drivers and got us there quick, within a reasonable time considering it would’ve taken over an hour to get there from the resort we stayed in. They offered excellent customer service and played the right music which made the ride even more enjoyable!

Climbing up the falls was...

Climbing up the falls was very exciting. The tour guides were all nice. Great place to capture beautiful pictures.

Amazon Vibe!!!!

We had a blast. The staff on the catamaran was awesome. They kept us entertained the entire time!!! This is a must do!!

We were hustled!!!

After we purchased the tour(which clearly states transportation is provided) we were informed that we would have to secure transportation to the meeting spot! Fine no problem......I secured a private driver but they REFUSED to give me the address the where the boat dock was....insisting I be bought to the "meeting location " so that their driver could take over. After repeatedly asking for the address I finally agreed. When we arrived at the "meeting place" we were the only 2 people and the driver said he'd be taking us to the blue hole the to the boat dock. We arrived at the blue hole and was immediately bombarded with extras and an overwhelming amount of attention by our 2 tour guide! When I again inquired if we were the only people on the tour, we were told "don't worry mon" They put flowers in our hair, offered to carry us down steep trails (which we declined) massage our feet and NEVER left our side.....continuing to offer Lil extras! When I finally inquired about the time I was told again, don't worry. Finally we insisted that we were ready to go and had seen enough and was ready to go. We were taken back to the top were AGAIN, they attempted to provide drinks, another massage, another short hike.....I became a Lil irritated and asked our driver to please get us to the boat. The two guides then began to tell how they are not paid for their services and since we enjoyed ourselves so much would we mind showing some appreciation!!!!!! I tipped then generously but felt extremely hussled. Needless to say we missed our boat and when we arrived at the dock, our "driver" to us we'd have to pay $30 a peice to have a small boat take us to the larger boat. I became extremely upset and told the driver to just take us back to the meeting place and I would return to my resort....the boat driver then said "well, how much do you have"? I told him "nothing for you" ! He and the driver then had some quick words and he offered to take us to the boat.......FOR FREE!!! We missed the snorkeling portion of our boat ride and it would have been my daughter's 1 st time snorkeling. Save your money and book excursions thru the resort. It's safer and a lot more reliable!

The best birthday experience !

The Excursions was our favorite part of the trip simply because we had the best driver ! Karllyton made sure we definetly got to experience the best parts of Jamaica and he was very friendly and nice . We felt safe our entire trip, & he definetly brought the vibes ! Next time we come back we are booking with him ! 10/10 experience ! ⭐️🫶🏽 Best birthday ever.

Best Excursion We've Ever Been On!

Hands down the best excursion we have ever been on! Blue Hole was amazing. Dunns River Falls was absolutely killer, snorkeling was an experience as it was out first time and the party catamaran to Dunns River and back was the star. The crew on board was attentive, informative and they were the life of the party along with the other guests on board. Got off to a late start with Blue Hole and waiting, but our drivers and the company were in constant communication and went above and beyond and found a way for us to not have to wait and get us to the destination much faster than anticipated. I can't say enough good things about this excursion, the company, the drivers, staff and the proprietor. We will be going through them next time we are in Jamiaca and I highly recommend you do the same!

What an amazing trip.We are on our 3rd day of honeymoon and so far this is the most spectacular trip we had. Love it.

So much fun love everything. Water was so pristine ! Our fave is climbing the river. Would definitely recommend to anyone

Best Caribbean vacation ever

One of the most amazing experience I've ever had out of all the other islands I've visited before. Courtney Taylor Tours made our vacation the most memorable of them all, I'd personally recommend them to anyone looking to see and enjoy jamaican culture, my family and I were very pleased. Thanks a million

Fun

We had a great time with the excursion. The service was wonderful and the crews were very friendly I highly recommended.

Jamaica catamaran transportation

Thanks for a great ride and information regarding Jamaica! My family and I had a great time and enjoyed ourselves.

5 star experience for friend groups

This was a fantastic experience if you want a fun, safe day of excursions. Our group of six had an absolute blast with our guides. The guides kept us feeling safe, educated us on Jamaica’s history and culture, and kept us laughing the whole day. Snorkeling was very fun, the climb up Dunn’s River Falls was exhilarating and beautiful, and the boat cruise was lit. Highly recommend!

Great package!

We were picked up and dropped off at our Airbnb. The blue hole and cruise were amazing, the dunns falls wereboverwhelming ‘cause it was too crowded. The staff is great. 100% recomendable.

Fun Day of Activities

Samantha and Courtney were amazing guides! We had so much fun on the party cruise after a day of water activities (i.e Blue Hole, snorkeling, and Dunes river). Everyone was so friendly and we were picked up and dropped off safely at our villa.

Highly recommend super fun!

This trip was amazing! From the moment the bus picked us up from our villa the energy was great. Every stop was stunning, the staff was incredible and made even the most nervous of us feel safe, and we had the best time partying with everyone on the boat! I would do this cruise again and again!

A perfect day out in Jamaica

I also did the blue hole tour and they provided transport from the hotel and was very prompt and very helpful and friendly. The catamaran cruise and party was absolutely fun and a perfect way to end the day. Thanks for a wonderful day out!!

Wonderful

Had amazing time and did a bunch extra stuff love the team and everyone! Best time we had was on this excursion

Best Time!

We had so much fun during our experience. The drivers that picked us up Samantha and Courtney were excellent host. They made our trip to the Party cruise so much fun. It was an experience of a life time. Our group had a blast! A lot of memories made.
