An Amazing Time In Ocho Rios
Ray was our tour guide and was amazing for our party of 9. We chose the Blue Hole and Bamboo Rafting package in Ocho Rios, Jamaica. Ray is very knowledgeable about the area, was on time for drop offs and pick ups and he took us to get authentic Jamaican food. It was an amazing day!!! We look forward to booking again in the near future and will be sending all referrals to book on my link for his tours!

Great tour - highly recommended
Nice tour from start to finish. Great way to spend the day in beautiful Ocho Rios! Ray is an amazing guide and driver… always made sure the guests had fun, were informed and were safe! Glad we chose Omar tours! Will do so again! If you’re looking - these are the best guys to go with!

5 stars is honestly not enough
5 stars is honestly not enough. We had a big group (which can be hectic) but Ray handled everything like a pro. He was patient, super organized and made the whole experience smooth and stress free from pickup to drop-off. What really stood out was how thoughtful he was with the older members in our group. He made sure they were comfortable and taken care of the entire time. That level of attention didn’t go unnoticed. Ray and Omar Tours have earned a customer for life. 10 out of 10, I highly recommend!

The best experience ever!
I decided to celebrate my 50th birthday in Jamaica where I was born and where I have my roots. To say Omar Tours and Ray in particular was a God-send is an understatement. The company is run by two brothers and I briefly met Omar who was very sweet, but Ray is the face of the company and who I primarily dealt with. From the beginning, even before we got to Jamaica, Ray not only helped me in organizing excursions and tours for our large group— we did Kingston tour and Blue Hole Bamboo rafting, but he also helped me execute events around my birthday by connecting me to local vendors for my party, helping me plan and organize a private yatch cruise and just treating me and my family like VIP from beginning to end even before stepping foot on Jamaican soil. I’ve don’t Bamboo rafting in JA before but the site Ray intentionally took us to have the best experience was so much nicer than our prior rafting experience. We were transported safely wherever we went and every driver was excellent— Ray, Omar, Frank were just the best and made sure we had an outstanding experience. They were informative, kind, funny and just good people. Ray became like a brother to me and I cannot thank him and Omar tours enough for making my 50th birthday unforgettable. I highly highly recommend Omar Tour for your tour and travel needs in the Ochi Rios area and beyond. I will definitely use them again. ♥️

Why this scores 68
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Bamboo Rafting Ocho Rios: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ocho Rios.
How much does Bamboo Rafting Ocho Rios cost?
+
Prices start at $70 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Ocho Rios usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Bamboo Rafting Ocho Rios take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Ocho Rios is not rushed.
Is Bamboo Rafting Ocho Rios worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 11 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Ocho Rios, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Bamboo Rafting Ocho Rios?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Bamboo Rafting Ocho Rios suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Bamboo Rafting Ocho Rios?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Ocho Rios can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Ocho Rios and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Bamboo Rafting Ocho Rios start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Ocho Rios within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Ocho Rios?
+
On Outty we rank every Ocho Rios experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Blue Hole only-from Ocho Rios, Ocho Rios Blue Hole and Dunn's River Falls Tour, Blue Hole and Dunn’s River Falls Tour with Lunch and Cocktails at Reggae Hill. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Ocho Rios?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Ocho Rios?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
