    Awesome Day

    Shawn and Bengie were great! They left right on time and pointed out interesting sites on our way. Both the horseback riding in the ocean and Blue Hole was awesome. Would definitely recommend them.

    Rajaye is the GOAT! Best day ever in Jamaica

    ​If you are headed to Jamaica and want a day you’ll actually remember, book with Courtney Taylor Tours and pray you get Rajaye as your guide! ​We had the absolute best time riding horses and taking the plunge at the Blue Hole. Honestly, the scenery was 10/10, but Rajaye made the trip. He’s an expert driver (those roads are no joke, but we felt totally relaxed), super chill, and kept the good vibes going the whole day. ​If you want a guide who is professional but feels like a local friend showing you the best spots, Rajaye is your guy. Don’t even think twice—just book it. Ya mon!

    Blue Hole and Horse back riding: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kingston.

    How much does Blue Hole and Horse back riding cost?

    +

    Prices start at $115 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Kingston usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Blue Hole and Horse back riding 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 Kingston is not rushed.

    Is Blue Hole and Horse back riding worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 77 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 50 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Kingston, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Blue Hole and Horse back riding?

    +

    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 Blue Hole and Horse back riding 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 Blue Hole and Horse back riding?

    +

    Around 18 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 Kingston 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 Kingston and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Blue Hole and Horse back riding 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 Kingston 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 Kingston?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Kingston experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Ocho Rios Blue Hole and Dunn's River Falls Tour, Blue Hole and Bamboo Rafting Ocho Rios, Triple Action pack Combo (Blue Hole, Horse back riding and river tubing). 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 Kingston?

    +

    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 Kingston?

    +

    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.

    What is included in Blue Hole and Horse back riding?

    +

    +
