This was a fun day trip, not what we were expecting but turned out to be a special & memorable experience! Shout out to Jodi and Owen who went above & beyond to make the day special, they are excellent, knowledgeable guides and kept the drive fun & engaging! The Blue Hole is a cool place, be aware that you should bring cash for tips since it’s a fully guided experience. Overall, this is a great tour to learn about Jamaica and get a feel for local culture!

Wonderful Adventure! Our fabulous guide, Jody, told us she would take care of us and she sure did! Even locating a lost phone. Blue Hole was gorgeous, a more manageable, less crowded opportunity to walk up and swim in a gorgeous waterfall. I didn’t expect to buy the photos, but they were great and our group shared the cost. Tommy was a careful driver and the day was great fun. Our guide at Blue Hole made sure we all (ages 62-78) comfortably navigated the beautiful area. Highly recommend!

A day exploring the Island with Fun Tours Jamaica. Owen and Jody took us up the road through the fern gully, around the town of Ochio Rios, and a jerk chicken/pork lunch at a local spot. The highlight was a trip to Blue Hole to jump off the rocks into beautiful, natural blue lagoon pools.

My boyfriend brought me here to Jamaica for my 30th Birthday & i’ve enjoyed every bit of this trip. This tour is honestly one of the best parts of it. The blue hole & secret falls is breathtaking!!! Bell our driver made our experience so much more fun too! He’s very knowledgeable and funny and we hope to see him again when we return. Thank you, Bell, for the Jerk Chicken & advice on making curry chicken lol. What a wonderful trip, wonderful people. 10/10!
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re thrilled to hear that your 30th birthday trip was a special one and that Bell helped made your tour unforgettable. The Blue Hole and Secret Falls are definitely must visit spots once in Jamaica! We hope the curry turned out as delicious as Bell promised when you tried the recipe. It was a pleasure having you with us, and we can’t wait to welcome you back on your next visit to Jamaica!
Jody did an amazing job as our guide. She was very knowledgeable, friendly, and fun! Ackeem did a good job driving us safely. The guides at the Blue Hole were also super friendly and helpful making sure we all had a good time and were able to successfully enjoy the adventure. We had fun jumping into the water from various heights. Some of us were braver than others, but there was something for all of us to enjoy!
We’re thrilled to hear that Jody and Ackeem made your tour safe, fun, and memorable. It’s great that everyone was able to enjoy the Blue Hole adventure at their own pace—there’s truly something for everyone there! We hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable experience in Jamaica soon! Thanks for making it Fun Tours Jamaica!
We recently did the Blue Hole Falls excursion while visiting Jamaica, and unfortunately, it was not the experience we had hoped for. The majority of the tour—about 3 to 4 hours total—was spent on the bus driving to and from the excursion point. When we finally arrived at Blue Hole Falls, the actual time we had there was very rushed, maybe 30 to 45 minutes at most. On the way, we stopped at a convenience store where we were told we needed to purchase water shoes. These turned out to be unnecessary, as our guides and several other visitors at the falls were hiking barefoot or in flip-flops. It felt unfair to be pressured into buying $50–$60 water shoes that were cheaply made and ultimately not required for the hike. Once at the falls, the area itself was disappointing. We passed one of the water holes that was full of trash, which really took away from the natural beauty of the place. It seemed like the site isn’t being properly maintained by the organization that manages it. Because of that, I didn’t even feel comfortable getting into the water. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend this particular excursion. The only highlight of the day was our phenomenal driver and tour guide, who were both friendly, knowledgeable, and made the long drive as enjoyable as possible. They truly went above and beyond despite the shortcomings of the excursion itself.
Hi Macey, We’re sorry to hear that this excursion didn’t meet your expectations. The drive from the port to Ocho Rios typically takes about an hour and a half each way. Regarding water shoes, we do recommend that guests wear either water shoes or comfortable tennis shoes for their own safety, as some of the rocks can be quite slippery. Water shoes are usually available for purchase at a cost of around $10–$15. We’re glad to know that our guide and driver helped make the experience more enjoyable for you and your group. We’ll also follow up with the property operators to address the issue you mentioned about trash in the water. Thank you for sharing your feedback it helps us improve the experience for all our guests.
