Ocho Rios, Jamaica Port Reviews

We no longer go ashore there. It is not inviting and does not seem safe.

Eh, take it or leave it. I didn't book any excursions however, we found on of the many taxi drivers who for the low price of $45pp (we got him down to $25) he would show us around town. Drop us off at a beach for a couple hours and stop for souvenirs. He was at least entertaining.

Booked an excursion to Blue Hole with Liberty Tours. The whole experience was effortless from beginning to end. Great communication. Our tour guide was Michelle and she was awesome. They had a ton of rain in the days before we got there so the water wasn’t as blue as we were expecting. They offered to take us somewhere else if we didn’t want to do it because of the water, but we stuck with it. Our guide at the falls was awesome! He took my phone and got so many amazing pictures. He was fantastic with the kids and made sure we had a great experience. The jumps were exhilarating and it was beautiful there. After Blue Hole, Michelle took us to Scotchies for jerk chicken, which was heavenly! Did a little shopping and headed back to the shop. I highly recommend Blue Hole and Liberty Tours. Such a great day!!!

We had great fun at Dunn's River Falls. We did not book with the ship excursion, since I was there before with friends. This time with my family, I just hopped on a taxi/bus and paid the falls' entrance fee. It was a lot cheaper

Love Ocho Rios, went on a crazy river boat tour, they took us to an island where they played island music and serv ed good Jamaican foid, al so walked the falls at Dunns River. GREAT time.

Was a waste of time going to Mahoney Beach, very small one, it cost USD 15,00 per person plus USD 5,00 to guide plus USD 5,00 to taxi driver. There is also a beautiful beach at the port that costs only USD 2.50 per person to enter.

Dunns Falls is amazing! I would highly recommend this. It can be slightly difficult, but evryone works together and helps each other up the falls. You need water shoes. We have been to Jamaica twice and have done Dunns both times. The first time was a party boat over...nice if you like the party scene. The second, we went to Dolphin Cove and held a stingray....not really worth it. Do the stingrays in Grand Cayman if you want to do stingrays.

Dunns River Falls is a great and unique activity if you are an active person. Walking straight up the falls (not along side of them) was fun. THe kayaking was also fun. We took the sky overlook to Mystic Mountain, and also did the Jamaican Bobsled. If you like roller coasters, this is a must. YOU control your own speed in an individual cart down the mountain.

Breath-Taking beauty. Did a ship excursion to Reggie Hill. The food, entertainment, beverages and treatment was top notch by the people working at Reggie Hill. We had a great time. Our tour person was awesome! I gave four stars because the bus driver was rude and thoughtless. He had disabled and older guests on his bus and would not drive the bus to a safer and less dangerous location for them to walk. One person ended up falling due to the steep hill and loose rock. He ended up with a fractured leg. The bus driver had to drive the bus down the hill anyway to get him after the excursion. The man had to spend the rest of the cruise in that condition which could have been avoided.

Ocho Rios is a shit hole. The city is dirty, people are rude, and everything is expensive. Ocho Rios is not recommended. Do not get involved in any free lance tours here they will rip you off and they are dangerous.
