Blue Hole was amazing,...
Blue Hole was amazing, our guide for that experience took time to help us all feel safe and comfortable! They also took great pictures and videos for us. We would do that excursion again in a heartbeat! The horseback experience was good but very rustic. Make sure you bring cash to tip at both locations.

Great experience
Omar tours was easy to work with and took excellent care of us. Our driver JP was very knowledgeable. The blue hole experience and horseback riding was amazing. I highly recommend this company. Also if you are wondering for your trip: You don’t need to take your phone with you when you swim in the blue hole, there are photographers there taking lots of pictures. The price was reasonable and picture quality was great. They upload the pictures to your smartphone If you do take your phone, make sure it’s in a waterproof case. Do take your phone on the horse ride. The guide will take lots of pictures for you. Take cash for tips.

Great excursion company
The blue hole experience is great. The guide (jay) made sure we were safe as we hiked up to the different areas and jumped into the water. If you take a phone, put it in a waterproof case. If you don’t want to take your phone, there are photographers there who take great pictures and they were affordable. Bring good water shoes. The horse ride is short but fun. The guides will take lots of pictures with your phone as you ride the horses in the ocean. Bring cash so you can tip everyone. Lastly our driver (PJ) took great care of us. He made us feel safe everywhere we went and he was extremely knowledgeable.

Ocho Rios: Blue Hole and Horseback Riding Excursion With Pickup: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kingston.
How much does Ocho Rios: Blue Hole and Horseback Riding Excursion With Pickup cost?
+
Prices start at $95 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Kingston usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Ocho Rios: Blue Hole and Horseback Riding Excursion With Pickup take?
+
Plan for about 3.5 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 Kingston is not rushed.
Is Ocho Rios: Blue Hole and Horseback Riding Excursion With Pickup worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 32 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Kingston, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Ocho Rios: Blue Hole and Horseback Riding Excursion With Pickup?
+
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 Ocho Rios: Blue Hole and Horseback Riding Excursion With Pickup suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Ocho Rios: Blue Hole and Horseback Riding Excursion With Pickup?
+
Around 11 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 Kingston 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 Kingston and add a light layer if any part of the 3.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Ocho Rios: Blue Hole and Horseback Riding Excursion With Pickup 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 Kingston 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 Kingston?
+
On Outty we rank every Kingston experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Ocho Rios Blue Hole and Dunn's River Falls Tour, Blue Hole and Bamboo Rafting Ocho Rios, Triple Action pack Combo (Blue Hole, Horse back riding and river tubing). 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 Kingston?
+
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 Kingston?
+
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.
