    1. Blue Hole

      Take in the spectacular view of flush and green forest and taste and see some of tropical fruits. Once you arrive at Blue Hole you will be introduced to your guide for the hike up the many cascading waterfalls. Remember to get your body massage under the falls and to take beautiful pictures at the awesome blue pools. Swinging, jumping and diving into the water is refreshing but don't forget to explore the cave and rope swing. Blue Hole is more than just one pool of cool, refreshing water.

Further up in the hills, after you pass the water holes, a 5-minute trek will take you up to the cascading waterfalls and more inviting water holes. There are trails leading up to the falls (steps carved in the dirt) and you will find, in the midst of the wilderness, stalls or mini bars where you can refresh yourself with jelly coconuts or Beer

    Great excursion with excellent ownership—one small area for improvemen

    This was a highly enjoyable experience, largely thanks to the owner-operator who personally escorted us and was fantastic company. The tubing segment was excellent, fun, and very well-managed by a safety-conscious crew. The only negative was the staff member assigned to us at the Blue Hole. He seemed frustrated during the waterfall climb, rushed the pace, and was overly pushy about tips at the conclusion. It was clear this was an isolated issue with one individual rather than the company culture, as the rest of the team was wonderful. Still a highly recommended excursion!

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for leaving your feedback it is highly appreciated. It was our pleasure hosting you and is very pleased to know that you had a great time, thanks for pointing out the things that you weren't comfortable with, your feedback helps us to improve ourselves.

    Fun Excursion!

    Joel was an absolutely an amazing driver with knowledge of the area, he was flexible with our trip and took us to a good local lunch spot and a lookout point for photos since we had extra time. Our guides at the blue hole, Jay and Travis, took great care of us, getting us to all of the best spots to jump from and get wonderful photos. Our tubing experience was also so fun and we went through vibrant forests and rafting areas that were very fun! I would definitely recommend this for anyone who wants a fun break from resort life.

    Response from the operator: Mc3davis Thank you so much for sharing your feedback of your experience using our service. It is greatly appreciated. We are pleased to know that you had a great time , it was indeed our pleasure hosting you . We look forward to your next visit. Thanks for choosing Marvyn’s paradise tours!!

    Amazing

    We did the Blue Hole first and everyone had a blast. J our tour guide was fantastic if you’re going request him. I was afraid to do the big jumps and jump from the falls but the kids did and had the best time. I would recommend this. Next we went to tube down white river and let me tell you it was an adventure there were rapids and dips and that guide was also amazing I can’t remember his name. But the best was our driver Joel he was fun, knowledgeable and even took us for a photo op that wasn’t part of our package. All in all. 100% recommend!!

    Response from the operator: lissay2810TE Thanks for leaving us your feedback, it was our pleasure providing our service. We are pleased to know that you had a great time . Thanks for choosing Marvyn’s Paradise Tours!!We are looking forward to seeing you again

    Blue Hole and River Tubing Combo Tour from Ocho Rios: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Blue Hole and River Tubing Combo Tour from Ocho Rios cost?

    +

    Prices start at $135 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Runaway Bay 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 River Tubing Combo Tour from Ocho Rios take?

    +

    Plan for about 5 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 Runaway Bay is not rushed.

    Is Blue Hole and River Tubing Combo Tour from Ocho Rios worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 77 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 81 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Runaway Bay, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Blue Hole and River Tubing Combo Tour from 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 Blue Hole and River Tubing Combo Tour from Ocho Rios suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Blue Hole and River Tubing Combo Tour from Ocho Rios?

    +

    Around 28 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 Runaway Bay 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 Runaway Bay and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Blue Hole and River Tubing Combo Tour from 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 Runaway Bay 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 Runaway Bay?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Runaway Bay experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Jungle River Tubing and Beach Adventure with Transportation, Private Sightseeing Tour in and Around Ocho Rios, Blue Hole and Bamboo Rafting Ocho Rios. 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 Runaway Bay?

    +

    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 Runaway Bay?

    +

    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.
