Ocho Rios, Jamaica Port Reviews

watch out if you need a taxi there. My wife calls it the taxi mafia.

Did not do excursion. Just went to Margaritaville. Don’t like dealing with the vendors. Not just Jamaica but anywhere with this type of setting. Too many people doing the same excursions.

very annoying vendors

Climbed the falls and partied on our catamaran on the way back, had a blast! 🤙🏼

We didn’t do an excursion. It was a Jamaican holiday so it was very busy everywhere. Went into town to shop. Found a restaurant that was open so we went to lunch. People were friendly. Food was very good.

White Water Rafting was nice and chill.

We used a private excursion company, Courtney Taylor Tours. He was amazing! For 30.00 per person (there were 6 of us) he drove us any where we wanted to go...on OUR time line....not what a big group demanded.

We didn’t like the port all that much. We didn’t do an excursion, but instead hired someone to take us to interesting places that were nearby. We felt as though we were constantly hounded by people to give them money or to buy something. Doing an official excursion might have been a better choice.

Within the gates of the port it is nice. When you leave the gate into the city it is a complete other story. Street venders constantly try to sell you taxies drugs and women.

People are amazing, yes they are pushy( more then Nassau) but this is their income, they depend on is to buy everything ( my son was even offered to father a baby) . Downfall was the dirtiness of the port area and most of the island I saw. Trash was everywhere , piled everywhere. Has awesome view over top of city!
