My wife and I took this tour not really knowing what to expect since she had never ridden an ATV, but I must say it was one of the most memorable things we did during our cruise. We were met at the port by Neil, the owner of the Wilderness ATV Tours. He then drove us to the area where we signed a release form, paid our fees and were given an orientation on operating the ATV. Once everyone was comfortable, we took off up the winding dirt road to the mountain approximately 1800 feet above sea level. We had to ride for about 7 miles to get their and the guides kept it interesting but safe. At the top of the mountain we got off the ATVs and were served a cool drink and were able to take some beautiful photos looking down to the coast. We could barely see our ship. One of the nice touches was that the guides would safely hold our cameras for during the ATV trips to make sure that we did not drop or damage them on the bumpy road. After descending back to the bottom we were very dirty from the road dust, but not to worry. Neil then loaded us up in the van and took us to the Falls to get cooled off and cleaned off. We really enjoyed the falls with Neil since he would walk along the the falls taking pictures of us with our own cameras and supplying tips on the best areas to climb up. We enjoyed this way of climbing much more than having to hold someone's hand and and walk up as a group. The most exciting part was when Neil told us the trick to climbing the largest fall area on the right hand side. Just as he promised it was an adrenaline rush not soon to be forgotten. The pictures Neil took with our camera were excellent memories of a wonderful adventure.

After finishing the falls, Neil asked what we would like to do next and I mentioned buying some Blue Mountain coffee. He then offered to take us to a neighborhood grocery store we were able to purchase the coffee for half of the going rate in the tourist shops. He then dropped us off to do some shopping before we walked back to the port.

Neil also gave very good pointers on dealing the the local merchants, who can sometimes be pushy. I looked at it though as part of the experience.

In conclusion if you want to go on an exciting excursion with caring, knowledgable hosts, you will not be disappointed with Neil and his crew.

We highly recommend this tour.

My wife and I were on a cruise for our first year anniversary and booked the ATV & Dunn’s River Falls based on many positive reviews from Tripadvisor. The ATV & Dunn’s River Falls turned out to be the highlight of our trip.

It’s our first time in Jamaica and the first time we ride ATV so we didn’t know what to expect. Neal picked up from a Van at the ship terminal. He was very professional and made us feel very comfortable. The safety drill was excellent in helping Libby and I got used to riding ATV. The trail was beautiful. My wife was scared at first but Damian and Chris did a great job of helping her out and making her get comfortable riding the ATV.

Chris was our tour guide for the Dunn’s River Falls. He gave us many useful tips on how to safely climb the Falls. The Falls was beautiful. The base of the Falls where fresh water meet the ocean is where we began out climb. While we were climbing Chris was taking pictures of us using our camera.

After that Neal dropped us off at Scotchie’s as requested by us. He gave us more tips about Jamaica while having lunch with us. The jerked chicken at Scotchie's was great. Then he dropped us off at the beach.

These guys were professional and provided the best service out of all the tours we have been to in the Caribbean, Asia, North America, and Europe.

We were with a big group, and we had a blast going up and down the mountain. We stopped at the top and took pictures of the great view. The tour guide / "bushmaster" was also a great leader and allowed us to pick up the speed on the ATVs.

Overall, highly recommended, great tour.

We had a group of six people in our group (three men, three women-one that did not kow how to drive...seriously). Everyone had a great time. From the atv's, which my fiance loved, to the Dunn's river tour.

I can't remember the man that took us to Dunn's river, but he was awesome. He told us a harder way to climb the falls, which turned out to be our favorite part of the trip. He also held our cameras and took pictures at different points. As a person that loves pictures, I was skeptical, but he did a great job. It is awesome to see the photos with the guided tourist groups on the opposite side of us.

We both had a blast and would highly recommend this to anyone that visits Jamaica.

For our surprise we were the only ones in the morning tour. So we got private tour! We got enough instructions for driving ATV. Two guides drove with us to Murphy's Hill and back to the starting point and another guide went with us to Dunns River Falls. He was our private photographer walking along side of us as we climbed the falls by ourselves (not hand in hand with others, much more fun that way). He took amazing pictures of us! The guides were very friendly and helpful.

After the Falls they offered a ride anyway we wanted. We wanted to have spicy food for lunch and they recommended restaurant Schotchies and drove us there. I took a soup and my partner took chicken. He said it was the best chicken he had ever had!

The guide offered pick-up from Schotchies to cruise ship pier after 45 minutes they had arranged pick-up of second tour members although they had some problems with the schedule. Apparently the pick-up of second tour took more time than expected because they didn't come back. We succeeded to get a ride to the pier from another tour organizer. The tour and the service had been so terrific that it didn't matter that they didn't come to gave us the ride back to the pier. The guides missed good tips because we didn't meet them anymore.

We had driven ATV before and my partner would have liked to drive with more speed. However, we understand that it wouldn't have been safe anymore. The helmet and protective glass were not the best quality.
