          Great experience
          My 10 year old had a blast. The Blue Hole and Secret Falls are family friendly as long as your child doesn’t have a fear of heights and is strong swimmer. They do offer life jackets also. The views were beautiful. Our driver (I believe his name was Rick) was very funny and entertaining. Learned a lot about Jamaican culture in route to our destination.

          Awesome day out
          Brilliant day trip visiting this wonderful part of Jamaica . The YS falls are beautiful and the guides that take you across the rocks are fantastic and will take all your photos for you . The black river boat trip was great getting up real close to the crocs and very educational too if you love the wildlife. Our guide was giving us all the history of Jamaica and life on the island on the drive down which from Montego Bay is around 2 hours so be prepared for a bouncy ride as the roads are worse than the uk ( if that’s even possible) but well worth the travel time for such a great experience.

          Brilliant trip with Tui. Well organised
          Excellent day out !! Not good for toddlers or people needing aid with walking climbing. Loved this trip. Two adults and a 14 year old. The blue hole was great well organised and the guides were great. Jumped off into the water from high levels and also jumped swing from a rope too. Went off to lunch ( included in the Tui price)which was jerk chicken or fried fish. Very nice !! Very clean. Dunn river. Loved Aubrey who took us round. Make sure you listen to the guide instructions as it keeps you safe. Brilliant!! Only downside was I didn’t see Tom Cruise 🤣

          Great experience highly recommend
          This was a fantastic trip would thoroughly recommend it, however not suitable for children the trip is one of the scariest I’ve ever known you travel up 9 miles on very narrow roads with sheer drops both sides at times due to the narrow bends you can’t see what’s coming and our driver drove extremely fast. Once you reach Bob Marley”s house you are whisked away to a hut where they try to sell you all kinds of weed products, make sure you take plenty of money as they constantly want tipping. The tour was absolutely fantastic after that the guides so knowledgeable we learned so much, the live band was great and a fantastic addition to the tour, visiting the various chapels and tomb room was very emotional and moving and very respectful we had to remove our shoes and no photos. We did this trip straight after another one on the same day would recommend this as a single trip and certainly don’t take young children great trip must go when you go to Jamaica.

          They just want your money
          Went with nexus tours. Driver was nice but a very erratic driver. Once we got to nine mile it was very sales oriented, we were taken across the street and iffered a peice of cake for 30 dollars, joints for 25 dollars, gummies for 35 dollars, cream for 65 dollars, and tea fir 60 dollars and they were pushy. After that they took us to the bar where you they sell you a 10 shot but you get to keep the shot glass i was standing there and didn't buy a drink because I don't drink and was basically told to go away, it wasn't packed they just want money. After that they take you to bobs moms house and talk a little about his growing up. After that they take you to listen to some crappy band playing bobs music, and they were not very good, but you had to tip them to go on. Finally we got to walk up to bobs house. They say its on mount zion but thats a lie. Just look at a map. First you have to take your shoes off and get to go into bobs moms mausoleum, , then bobs house and then bobs mausoleum. The whole place is concrete so its totally different than what it was like before. After a short talk about the stone mentioned in bobs talking blues the tour is over but you need to tip your guide. It was nice to see bobs childhood home and where he went to meditate and laid to rest but the money aspect is just sad. I didn't learn anything I didn't already know, but glad i went. After the tour we returned back down the mountain and to the highway, but we headed away from our resort. I found this odd but figured maybe we were in fir some great food, why else would we be driving 20 minutes in the opposite direction. Well we ended up at this open air restaurant, the music was way too loud , we could barely hear ourselves talk and the music was very inappropriate. The food was absolutely disgusting. It was chicken that was so dry with some nasty bbq sauce, mushy rice and beans with shredded cabbage. All in all it was a very disappointing trip. I would recommend just going to nine mile and skipping the lunch as it was a waste of time and money.

          Amazing excursion
          Copely was an awesome tour guide! We loved the amount of time we were able to spend at each falls. Such beautiful and peaceful areas. At the blue hole we were able to jump and use the rope swing multiple times which was awesome! Be sure to get a beef and cheese patty from the corner store if Copely stops. We will definitely be back!!

          Tour and Company are the best
          Had the best time we could not imagine how smooth and organized this was. Our driver and tour guide was Copley. (I think spelled correctly). Picked us up at the time they said. We had a stop at a store to buy things and then a place to get a snack. It was a long drive but he spoke to us during the drive about different facts. First stop was Blue hole and secret falls. The guys there were great with our group there was 5 in my family but our bus has 18 total. There was 2 little ones and they helped out with the little ones or anyone who was nervous. We bought great pictures and reasonable price. Next we had a stop for some food. It was not a bad price for the 5 of us. It was delicious. We loved the Jerk chicken. Next stop Dunns River. The guys on that tour was absolutely amazing. You could buy pictures and video but my daughter took so many. We had a blast. Remember a towel and water shoes for the day. We recommend this tour. My husband forgot his phone on the bus. Once of the couples we met we called they were already off the bus but had the drivers number we contacted him and once he was done he dropped it off. My husband emailed the company and they answered right back also. This company is amazing.

          Amazing tour! Highly recommend!
          This tour was wonderful! Our driver and guide (Franklin and Danisha) were so kind and kept the trip fun. We got to see so many great sights and climbing the waterfall was great! We felt safe and comfortable the whole time. I would definitely recommend bringing an extra set of clothes so you don’t have to make the 1.5-2 hour bus drive back in a wet bathing suit.

          They cancelled at 8pm the night before
          They cancelled the booking at 8pm the night before because they said they didnt have enough bookings. I was supposed to be picked up at 8am. I already spoked to someone on the phone hours prior because no one contacted me to confirm the pickup time. Unacceptable. I had to scramble to replace them and pay out of pocket for the replacement excursion because the refund for this booking was going to take days. I did receive my money back from Viator with no issues.

          The best time of my life, and I went solo!
          Had the best time! Full day of fun. I went solo and made lots of friends along the way. If you had to ask me if I had to choose which Falls were my fave, The Blue Hole has definitely stolen my heart. Thanks to the amazing tour guides like Tyrone from the Blue Hole were keeping us safe and having lots of fun. Can't wait to be back Jamaica!

          Went with a private guide - the place is too commercialised - on entry forced into shops and "GIVEN" a piece of jewellery then told give me 40 dollars at bar for the piece of tat - did not want to go into bar but forced and had to buy 4 shots and drinks $68 - then marched to house and given talk, listened to band had to tip, went into church had to tip, tour guide stood at gates with hand out on the way - all staff there miserable and after you had paid the tour guide basically turned his back on you and ignored questions - Throughout tour told not about money or numbers about one love - it is all about money - escorted "frog marched around" and all about money - Bob Marley would be turning in his grave

        The falls are cool and its a fun hike. The water is very cold. At the end when you go to exit they make you walk through this long path with a bunch of Jamaican's trying to get you to buy tourist crap, we kept saying no. One guy tried to be friendly and asked our names, he than carved our names into some crap and made us buy it. If they didn't have all the tourist crap at the end I'd give it 5 stars.

        My husband and i booked this tour on our recent visit to Montego Bay. We purchased the tour from Expedia based on the description. While we truly enjoyed the Dunns Fall River portion of the tour except for being harrassed as we left the park. You have to walk through a shopping village to exit. From there were were to enjoy lunch at Scotchies which did not happen. We were taken to the Luminous Lagoon 1 1/2 hours prior to our departure time. Because we starving we ate at the restaurant which left much to be desired and was costly. We boarded our boat but was disappointed to learn that there was no glass bottom boat as described in the Expedia description. We were unaware that we were to swim at this location based on the description so we had changed our clothing when done at Dunns Falls so we missed out on the experience. We contacted Expedia in an effort to receive a partial refund for the portion of the excursion that we missed out on but SNL has refused. Expedia tells us that SNL is the one who manages the description that is provided to their site. Please be aware before purchasing this excursion.

        I first wanted and paid for the Dunn's River Falls and Luminous Lagoon Tour. I think there were some issues with securing another group to join us on the tour. With that, our trip was changed and we ended up at Dunn's River Falls as well as the Blue Hole. I had so much fun with both! I actually don't think I would have had more fun at the Luminous Lagoon over the Blue Hole. We got a chance to jump off of cliffs and swim in the beautiful blue waters. I think it was worth it given the travel from Montego Bay to Ocho Rios. I do strongly suggest water shoes for both activities. I think Dunn's River sell them. I didn't find them for sale at the Blue Hole. Good thing I purchased my pair from Amazon before arriving. What you should bring that I didn't:
        1.make sure you bring a towel
        2.change of clothes
        3. Waterproof phone cover (if you wish to take pictures)
        I felt icky sitting in my bathing suit going all the way back to the hotel in Montego Bay. I gave the experience 4 stars because of the final stop, the spot for lunch. The food was so freaking disgusting. There was absolutely no seasoning on anything. Although this has nothing to do with the excursion portion, the overall experience, lunch should be considtered. Perhaps the fact that we had to eat it in the van while driving back to the city. That was poor taste. Even if the food was delicious, I didn't get to fully enjoy it cramped on the van. I think lunch should be providing ample of time for us to enjoy. It doesn't have to be an hour. 30 minutes should suffice. Overall, it's a good experience and I will recommend it to tourist.

        Dunn's River Falls was great fun in a group. The water is refreshing in the hot weather but it is much to crowded, and thus a slow climb, for me to need to go back. Its a beautiful place but the sheer volume of visitors there at one time mar the beauty and make any great photos near impossible.

        The guides are great fun, but tourists just hold hands in a long line while walking up the falls.
