Ocho Rios, Jamaica Port Reviews

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.

Jamaican bobsled.

Jamaica is a beautiful place to see but a lot of poverty. The people are nice but very pushy if you are wanting to buy anything. I guess no more pushy then most places I have been in Mexico. The prices seemed to be a little high.

Great place to visit so much to do or as little as you want.... No Problem mon The water always feels good and people are usually friendly. The Terminal Pier seems to be a bit of a cluster f#*k when everybody is trying to get off and you feel like sheep..

Jamaica was fun. Did a combo tour with Bobsled (you control your own speed), Dunns Falls and Blue Hole which had a Tarzan swing, repell down a cliff, amazing blue water. Took a sky explore to the top of Mystic Mountain, took a dip into the infinity pool and watched the cruise ships arriving into the port. The views from the sky explore were indescribable. Must do while in Jamaica. And then relaxed by the beach at Margaritaville which is right where ship docks.

We had an Amazing day on the chukka Reggae, Rum and Jerk excursion. We started at Me T's restaurant and ate family style. Our meal was pumpkin rice, black beans, bbq chicken, slaw and goat curry Second stop was at margaritville where we had drink making contest and tastes different drinks. 3rd stop was at Scotchies outdoor dining. Had amazing jerk pork and chicken with fruitbread and peppersauce. All the while our guide spoke different details about Ocho Rios and it's history

Bamboo Beach Club is my family's place we have been twice and love it so much. No need to do VIP you still get great treatment. The food the views the dancers the staff are all great.

We chose to do the Big 3 Adventure: bobsleds Zipline and skyride. While individually they were fun it was not very well explained on how to menuver all three. It started with a skyride to the top where we were told to go to the zip. Once we got to the zipline area instead of taking a small group and getting them ready to go out we have to wait around for about 45 minutes why they geared up five different groups. Our group consisted of at least 25 people which made the zipline take forever because we had to wait for everyone to cross before we can move on. The end of the zip line and it about halfway down the Hillside. The bobsled portion was also at the very top but in order to get back to the bobsled you had to ride the sky ride all the way to the bottom and then all the way back up which lasted another 25 minutes. We then went to the bobsleds which we waited in line for over 2 hours for the 30-Second Ride. The Excursion which could have taken only about 2 hours or less lasted us over 5. At this point we didn't have time to do anything else while in Port. It would have been nice if it had been organized where we took one ride up to the top did the bobsleds first then did the zip lines where we made it halfway down and then rode the Skyride to the bottom.

Bobsled wasn't worth it or the Dunes Falls.
