    Blue Hole and River Tubing Tour

    My girls and I LOVED every minute of it. Ray is THE BEST guide and very informative, kind, and helpful! We were able to get to the attractions before it was swamped with other tourist. Hands down book with OMAR TOURS you won't regret it!! 10/10. Try to contact them directly if you can.

    Seamless, Fun, and Perfect for Our Birthday Cruise Stop

    We booked Omar Tours for the Blue Hole and River Tubing excursion in Ocho Rios, and it was one of the best decisions we made during our Virgin Voyages cruise. This was a couples trip for me and my best friend’s birthday, and we were initially hesitant to book an excursion outside of the cruise company. However, once the cruise line canceled our original excursion, we decided to book it ourselves, and the entire process was seamless. From the start, Omar Tours made everything easy. I was able to enter our group’s travel and disembarkation information without any issues, and it was very easy to coordinate everything from the States before we arrived. Once we got off the ship, finding the team was simple, and they were ready for us. Our guide was amazing, friendly, professional, and made sure we had a great time. The Blue Hole was beautiful, river tubing was so much fun, and the entire experience felt organized and stress-free. We also appreciated the lunch stop and shopping stop, which made the day feel complete. I would definitely recommend Omar Tours to anyone visiting Ocho Rios, especially cruise passengers who may be nervous about booking outside of the cruise line. They made the experience easy, safe, and memorable.

    Unforgettable Blue Hole Adventure 🌿🌊

    We had an amazing experience at the Blue Hole in Ocho Rios! Our guide, Ray, made the tour unforgettable—he was friendly, knowledgeable, and made us feel completely safe while still keeping things fun and adventurous. He showed us the best spots for jumping, swimming, and photos, and his energy really elevated the whole experience. Highly recommend this tour, and if you can, ask for Ray!

    Blue hole and bamboo rafting

    5 star experience. Had a wonderful private experience with Ray as our driver. He showed us a little bit around the area and then headed to blue hole which we were the only ones there which was so nice! Definitely worth going early in the morning. We had booked to do the tubing but due to rain overnight was unable but we had a great experience with Captain OB on a bamboo river raft. He is a vibe for sure! Lime stone massage on the legs was very respectful for being with my husband. Best price, best experience, and the best memories.

    Blue Hole and River Tubing 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 Ocho Rios cost?

    +

    Prices start at $95 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 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 Ocho Rios worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 17 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 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 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 Ocho Rios?

    +

    Around 6 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 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 Private Sightseeing Tour in and Around Ocho Rios, Blue Hole and Bamboo Rafting Ocho Rios, Jungle River Tubing and Beach Adventure with Transportation. 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.
