3 tours one day
We booked a tour through Jacquees after finding reviews on a Moon Palace guests FB page.. We were a family of 9, age range between 8 and 60. Jacquees offers a range of 3 tours for a set price PP including lunch.. Great value, we opted for Bamboo rafting, Blue hole Waterfalls, and Horse riding through the sea.. Our driver Wayne was so friendly, funny and informative, we all felt so comfortable with him. He arrived at hotel reception 10 mins before scheduled pick up (no waiting around).. The tours were amazing, the day ran smoothly, tour was private and personal.. I have already recommended to new guests I have met this Evening at the hotel.. Thank you all for an amazing day :)
Response from the operator: Hello, Thank you so much, Jasmine, for sharing this wonderful review! 🌟 We’re delighted that your family enjoyed the Bamboo Rafting, Blue Hole Waterfalls, and Horse Riding by the sea, it’s always our goal to make each tour private, personal, and unforgettable. We’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to Wayne; he truly enjoys making guests feel comfortable and cared for. We appreciate your recommendations to other guests and look forward to welcoming you back to Jamaica for more adventures. One love 🇯🇲💚💛🖤"

The Blue Hole Jamaica
Our trip to The Blue Hole was amazing ! We had a wonderful driver, Daron, to pick us up at the port and drive us there. Once there, we had a guide bring us through three pools at The Blue Hole. He literally held our hands across the streams we had to cross, took photos and videos on our phones of our jumps and made sure we kept our place in line in the busiest spots. On the way back to the port, Daron brought us to a great restaurant for jerk chicken, then to a souvenir shop. I highly recommend this tour!!

Why this scores 79
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Blue Hole 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 Tour From Ocho Rios cost?
+
Prices start at $55 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 Tour From Ocho Rios take?
+
Plan for about 2.5 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 Tour From Ocho Rios worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 79 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 37 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 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 Tour From Ocho Rios suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Blue Hole Tour From Ocho Rios?
+
Around 13 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 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Blue Hole 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 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.
