Highly disappointed
You never showed up. We got the run around for hours. Wasting our morning to be told to call back and the ball be dropped over and over/ and now being told we may not even get our refund

Wish I could give negative score
They had us wait for hours for them and never showed up at the hotel. We were passed around told to call back over and over. Then finally told they were refunding and giving a voucher only to get an email that the refund hasn’t been approved. They haven’t approved us for a refund for a service that they not only didn’t show up to but wasted hours of our day going back and forth with them only to finally be told they are not showing up. I have never been so dissatisfied with a company and if I could give a negative I would .. do not recommend especially if you value your time on vacation and don’t want to wait around and lose 100s of dollars and HOPE they actually refund you for THEIR issue
Response from the operator: We’re very sorry to hear about your experience. This does not reflect the level of service we aim to provide, and we are committed to improving. Alejandro Vazquez – Senior Director of Customer Success. NexusTours.

Not happy
I booked a trip for Dunns River and there was a lack of communication regarding the activity and transportation. When booking the activity, the description said to choose hotel location at check out which I was not able to do. When I tried to contact the tour operator via message, I did not receive any response. I had to find my own transportation to Dunns River and upon arrival, they did not have any booking information with my name. I also called the phone number associated with the booking they could not find my booking information even after giving him all of my information for the booking of the activity (confirmation number and booking reference number).
Response from the operator: We apologize for the inconvenience. This matter help us to improve our services. Alejandro Vazquez – Senior Director of Customer Success. NexusTours.

Very Disappointed
The tour company reported that my family and I was a “no show” when the pickup time was 10:30a. What they did was show up at the resort at 9a and DID NOT advised us of the new time! Unbeknownst to us when we report to the desk for 10:30a pickup was when we learned that the pickup time was gone at 9a! Furthermore, I tried to reconfirm our reservation 24 hours before and the day of the reservation and NO response from the tour company. I would not book with this company since they are extremely POOR communicating with their clients; unless you don’t mind missing an excursion that you have planned for you and your family!

Montego Bay to Dunn's River Falls Half-Day Trip: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Montego Bay.
How much does Montego Bay to Dunn's River Falls Half-Day Trip cost?
+
Prices start at $75 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 Montego Bay to Dunn's River Falls Half-Day Trip take?
+
Plan for about 4.5 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 Montego Bay to Dunn's River Falls Half-Day Trip worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 79 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 302 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 Montego Bay to Dunn's River Falls Half-Day Trip?
+
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 Montego Bay to Dunn's River Falls Half-Day Trip suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Montego Bay to Dunn's River Falls Half-Day Trip?
+
Around 106 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 4.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Montego Bay to Dunn's River Falls Half-Day Trip 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.
