Blue Hole adventure
Wonderful trip to Blue Hole. Our driver Kirie was terrific and our guide TJ at Blue hole was amazing. The water was cool and refreshing. My advice would be to go early before the cruise ship crowd gets there. Bring cash as there are lots of shops along the trail. The pics are expensive so be ready to barter
Response from the operator: Thanks for supporting the local tourism products..we are always happy to share our treasured spots.

Blue Hole Adventure
My family had a great time! We have two kids (12 and 3). We were not sure what parts if any my 3 year old could participate in. Our guide, Roman was fantastic. He made us feel very safe especially with her the entire time. He was fun and energetic but super knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this. The pictures we purchased after were also great. I only wish we would have had more time to repeat jumps as well as time back at the bus to tip. We felt very rushed at the end to use the restroom and did not have time to get to our bags and tip.
Response from the operator: Thanks for supporting our local efforts we really appreciate your patronage, it is always good to communicate with your driver so both have an understanding.

Great fun for the whole family
Having a private driver and guide at the Blue Hole made for a great experience. Driver locked up all our belongings while we swam/jumped/played. Our guide helped us weave through the crowds easily and helped get the absolute most out of our time. Blue hole is beautiful and fun for the adventurous ones in the family - a couple rope swings, several places to jump from cliffs, and lots of beautiful waterfalls. There are a couple slippery areas, but we wore aqua-socks (required) and we were fine. Only slight tricky part was finding our driver because our ship docked at a pier 1km away from the main port, but we found him holding a sign with our name on it.
Response from the operator: It is always a pleasure to show of my beautiful island. I'm much more happier when the visitors have fun. Thanks for choosing jamaica 🇯🇲

Response from the operator: Thanks for choosing pashon tours and jamaica. We are delighted to provide the services to.

Why this scores 74
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Blue Hole Ocho Rios: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Runaway Bay.
How much does Blue Hole Ocho Rios cost?
+
Prices start at $48 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 Ocho Rios take?
+
Plan for about 2 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 Ocho Rios worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 28 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 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 Ocho Rios suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Blue Hole Ocho Rios?
+
Around 10 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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Blue Hole 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.
