For the experience
The experience was neat just to say we did it. The place is not in the best shape for a hot spot tourist attraction.
Response from the operator: Thanks for your observations and it is always nice to get different perspectives because this helps to upgrade.

Pretty good- one and done
Our driver Jerome was great- very friendly and safe driver. He helped us out as tourists who have never been to Jamaica. Otherwise, the excursions themselves were pretty good. We would highly recommend blue hole; that was a lot of fun! We felt the horseback riding and tubing was a little underrated or unsafe at times... We were overall happy with our experience but wouldn't run to do it again.
Response from the operator: Thanks for choosing pashon tours to help you enjoy your vacation and your observations are taken into consideration and we will always try to improve to make the experience better.

3 must see locations in one tour
This excursion was a great way to experience 3 different natural wonders of Ocho Rios in one day. First was horseback riding in the ocean where you see breathtaking views and have many unique photo opportunities. Then there was a short ride to Blue Hole where our guide led us to several different jumping points and took many photos and videos for us. Last was a relaxing tubing tour down the White River. It's nice if you like nature. All 3 guides plus our Driver Jerome were amazing. I would recommend this tour to others.
Response from the operator: Thanks for supporting the local industry and we are happy to know you had a great time.

Blue hole and river tubing were worth it, would definitely skip the horseback riding
The guide was excellent! My son and I loved the blue hole and the river tubing. Next time I will skip the horseback riding. The horses have really poor body condition and could use more food. I felt bad even getting on them. We didn't actually swim we just walked along the shoreline in the water while someone was holding the halter. There was a ton of horsecrap in the water as well so that was not worth it at all. However the other 2 attractions. 10/10. I'm going to do Dunn's river and probably the blue hole again when we come back!
Response from the operator: Thanks for sharing your concerns and we will make recommendations to the service provider with a view to make the necessary improvements. Thanks again for visiting jamaica and choosing pashon tours.

Why this scores 67
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Ocho Rios Shore Excursion: Blue Hole, Tubing, Horseback Riding: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ocho Rios.
How much does Ocho Rios Shore Excursion: Blue Hole, Tubing, Horseback Riding cost?
+
Prices start at $175 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Ocho Rios 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 Shore Excursion: Blue Hole, Tubing, Horseback Riding take?
+
Plan for about 5.5 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 Ocho Rios is not rushed.
Is Ocho Rios Shore Excursion: Blue Hole, Tubing, Horseback Riding worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 22 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Ocho Rios, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Ocho Rios Shore Excursion: Blue Hole, Tubing, Horseback Riding?
+
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 Shore Excursion: Blue Hole, Tubing, Horseback Riding suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Ocho Rios Shore Excursion: Blue Hole, Tubing, Horseback Riding?
+
Around 8 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 Ocho Rios 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 Ocho Rios and add a light layer if any part of the 5.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Ocho Rios Shore Excursion: Blue Hole, Tubing, Horseback Riding 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 Ocho Rios 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 Ocho Rios?
+
On Outty we rank every Ocho Rios experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Blue Hole only-from Ocho Rios, Ocho Rios Blue Hole and Dunn's River Falls Tour, Blue Hole and Dunn’s River Falls Tour with Lunch and Cocktails at Reggae Hill. 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 Ocho Rios?
+
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 Ocho Rios?
+
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.
