Our Favorite Excursion of All-Time!
We travel often (6-8 cruises/year) and book private/semi-private tours everywhere we go, so we have a lot of perspective on what makes for a good experience. Our tour guide was Joel and he was truly fantastic. We ported in Falmouth, Jamaica and set out to do three unique experiences in a single day. It was going to be tight but we wanted to see what we could get done and would adjust as the day went on if necessary. In a period of 4.5 hours we did each of the below: - Drive from Falmouth port to Dunn's River Falls: 45 minutes - Climbed Dunn's River Falls: 1 hour - Cliff jumping + rope swings at Blue Hole: 1 hour - Tubing down the White River: 1 hour - Drive back to Falmouth port: 45 minutes We made it back to our ship with over an hour to spare and had an absolutely incredible day. We're so grateful for the experience and look forward to our next experience with Marvyn's!

Thank you Marvyn and Sana! Very nice to communicate with and setup a private custom tour. We had a great day. Sean/Shawn was wonderful. The van was super clean and smelled clean. The activities were so much fun. Our family had a great time. Our guide helped us skip the long lines and waited for us at each of the 3 activities we chose to do. Highly recommend!!

Amazing!
My family and I did our tour with Marvyn and it was absolutely perfect! He took us to experience different activities in Ocho Rios such as the blue hole, tubing and the beach. He was an excellent tour guide with so much knowledge and hospitality. My family went in two separate groups and compared to their experience with locals being pushy at shopping areas, we felt safe with Marvyn and he never let anyone bother us. Our experience in Jamaica was amazing thanks to his guidance and the beautiful attractions. I will definitely be going back and booking with Marvyn again!

Exceptional day out
I can honestly say this is one of the best trips we have ever been on. We were picked up by our driver and guide Dalton who was absolutely brilliant, he was attentive throughout the day and ensured we had the best guides at each experience, he was warm, friendly with a wealth of information and all with a beautiful big smile, he made the trip exceptional. First stop was Dunnes Falls, an outstandingly beautiful area with a 600 metres climb up through the waterfalls to the top, this is such a great experience and the guides are so jolly and helpful making this experience so much fun. Second on to Blue Hole Tour where Dalton arranged for Robert to take us through to the most breathtakingly beautiful experience. All thanks go to Robert who took such good care of us ensuring we were safe at all times along with his colleague who was taking pictures, so sorry I didn’t get your name but you were so lovely to us. What can I say, Robert made this trip exceptional, he is infectious with such a joyous demeanour, singing, encouraging and actually jumping in with me on one jump as I wasn’t sure I could do it but I’m so glad I did as it was magical. Thank you for making this our favourite part of the day. Next on to River Tubing, travelling through the small villages getting a taste of the real Jamacia with Dalton providing such a wonderful flavour of the people and where they live and make their living. We were met here by the lovely Leon our guide who took us on a beautiful trip down the river. Singing his songs (he’s not a singer but an entertainer- his words not ours- Leon you are brilliant don’t sell yourself short) but that aside he was infectious and fun, pointing out places of interest and giving us a flavour of Jamaican life, We were escorted down the river by Reggie the dog who swam beside us part of the way, this made my husbands day and he will relay this story many times I’m sure. In conclusion, thank you, thank you, thank you Marvins Tours, The exceptional Dalton and wonderful guides most especially Robert and Leon you are sensational.
Response from the operator: shar0ng0uld, Thank you sharing your excellent review! We thank you endlessly for making it Marvyn’s Tours and for your numerous compliments on the professionalism of our staff! We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed each attraction site you visited and that you’ll have many stores to tell based on these experiences! Thanks again and we hope to see again! Irie! Best Regards, S. Gayle

Why this scores 71
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
The Best of Dunn's River ,Blue Hole and Tubing from Ocho Rios: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Runaway Bay.
How much does The Best of Dunn's River ,Blue Hole and Tubing from Ocho Rios cost?
+
Prices start at $150 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 The Best of Dunn's River ,Blue Hole and Tubing from Ocho Rios take?
+
Plan for about 6 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 The Best of Dunn's River ,Blue Hole and Tubing from Ocho Rios worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 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 Runaway Bay, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule The Best of Dunn's River ,Blue Hole and Tubing 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 The Best of Dunn's River ,Blue Hole and Tubing from Ocho Rios suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book The Best of Dunn's River ,Blue Hole and Tubing from Ocho Rios?
+
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 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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does The Best of Dunn's River ,Blue Hole and Tubing 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.
