    Great adventure

    Our experience on this excursion was great! The main road into Ochos Rios was closed down so our driver had to take us on a detour through a back road. Despite the long journey our driver was very patient and navigated the rough road he was unfamiliar with like a pro. The horse back riding and Duns river falls were also great but because of the detour we also got to see a lot of the countryside we wouldn’t have otherwise seen so it actually made for an even better experience

    Response from the operator: Hello Caitlyn, happy you enjoyed your Experience with us, especially with your driver. It was our pleasure being able to accommodate you guys, and hope to do so again in the future. All the best Caitlyn and stay safe!

    Forty fierce and fabulous

    We had the pleasure of having Shane as our private driver throughout the day. Shane was prompt, professional, patient and full of knowledge. Shane took the time to explain and answer all questions that we presented to him throughout the day. Shane catered to us to ensure we always had a full ice bucket in the car with plenty of alcohol and water. After our excursions we returned to the car to find it cool with our towels laid out for us. Shane was truly a gem to spend the day with and we look forward to having him accompany us on future adventures.

    Sisters trip for birthday! 1st time in Jamaica

    The trip was absolutely amazing! The horses were awesome and so were the tour guides. Our driver Shane made the trip 100x better! He was so friendly and polite and provided plenty of helpful information. Definitely recommend requesting Shane for any transportation!

    Awesome tour and Amazing Guide

    Our experience was amazing! The horse ride was so fun and the falls were incredibly gorgeous. I have limited mobility and was unable to climb the falls, but there were flat pathways to walk to see them and viewing them was still beautiful. There was a small shopping booth at the horse ride and swim that had locally handmade gifts that were so beautiful and the woman who ran it was so kind and wonderful to chat with that we bought a number of things to take home. Dwain was an awesome tour guide. He pointed out things of interest on our drive and told us all about the island and local culture. He was hilarious as we chatted and it made the long-ish drive pass by so quickly! He offered to let us stop for a meal somewhere locally (we stayed at an all inclusive resort) and i wish we had felt up to it, we later regret not stopping. Definitely a fun tour and a great guide.

    Horseback 'Ride N Swim' & Dunns River WaterFalls: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Horseback 'Ride N Swim' & Dunns River WaterFalls cost?

    +

    Prices start at $60 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Montego Bay usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Horseback 'Ride N Swim' & Dunns River WaterFalls 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 Montego Bay is not rushed.

    Is Horseback 'Ride N Swim' & Dunns River WaterFalls worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 10 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Montego Bay, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Horseback 'Ride N Swim' & Dunns River WaterFalls?

    +

    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 Horseback 'Ride N Swim' & Dunns River WaterFalls 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 Horseback 'Ride N Swim' & Dunns River WaterFalls?

    +

    Around 4 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 Montego 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 Montego Bay and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Horseback 'Ride N Swim' & Dunns River WaterFalls 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 Montego 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 Montego Bay?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Montego Bay experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Appleton Estate Admission Ticket & Distillery Tour with Tastings, Blue Hole and Dunn's River Falls Private Tour from Montego Bay, Montego Bay Clear Kayak Drone Photoshoot & Video. 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 Montego 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 Montego 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.

    What is included in Horseback 'Ride N Swim' & Dunns River WaterFalls?
