Good and Not so good
Shavaun was knowledgeable and we appreciate the extra stop to try coconut jelly and to buy lychees. Blue Hole was fantastic, be prepared to tip your guide (ours was extremely deserving). You can purchase photos (very expensive) and drinks, crafts, etc on the way back if you like. We felt $50 for tubing was overpriced for the relatively short float down the river. Lunch was fine. We were extremely let down by the shopping. I will admit that we had only arrived in Jamaica the day before and were somewhat naive, but the tour company should have been looking out for us. We did not receive the $10 off $50 discounts we were promised and we were way overcharged for rum, wine and perhaps the tees too. Why hire a guide if they’re not going to help?

Book with taste the tropics
Do yourself a favor and book with Taste the Tropics! Our driver and tour guide, Dean Paul, was absolutely amazing. He was friendly, professional, and made us feel safe and comfortable throughout the entire trip. Dean went above and beyond to make sure we had a fun and memorable experience. His positive energy and excellent customer service made the day even more enjoyable. If you're looking for a great tour experience, I highly recommend Taste the Tropics and be sure to ask for Dean Paul!

Why this scores 70
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Blue Hole & river tubing tour from ocho rios with lunch & shoppin: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Trelawny.
How much does Blue Hole & river tubing tour from ocho rios with lunch & shoppin cost?
+
Prices start at $85 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Trelawny 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 & river tubing tour from ocho rios with lunch & shoppin take?
+
Plan for about 6 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 Trelawny is not rushed.
Is Blue Hole & river tubing tour from ocho rios with lunch & shoppin worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 9 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Trelawny, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Blue Hole & river tubing tour from ocho rios with lunch & shoppin?
+
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 & river tubing tour from ocho rios with lunch & shoppin suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Blue Hole & river tubing tour from ocho rios with lunch & shoppin?
+
Around 3 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 Trelawny 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 Trelawny and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Blue Hole & river tubing tour from ocho rios with lunch & shoppin 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 Trelawny 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 Trelawny?
+
On Outty we rank every Trelawny experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Private Authentic Down-to-Earth Half Day Tour in Montego Bay, Negril Seven Miles Beach, Snorkeling, Boat Ride, Ricks Cafe Combo, Private Montego Bay Customized Tour with Pickup and Guide. 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 Trelawny?
+
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 Trelawny?
+
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.
