Amazing Time with D&D

I am so happy we booked this excursion! Not only were the Dunn's River Falls stunning, the group we were partnered with at Yardie Tours (D & D) were fantastic. They really went above and beyond to make sure we had a wonderful experience.

Dunn’s River Falls
March 23, 2023
This excursion was well with the money. It is challenging but very doable because everyone helps each other and the tour guide at the falls is amazing. I would definitely book this excursion again. Do not take anything with you that you do not want wet. You will get very wet. Also bring change for tips as the photographer and guide expect to be tipped. But they are well deserving of a tip. Only thing I did not like but had nothing to do with the tour itself is how the vendors will not take no for an answer when you don’t want to buy anything from them. Avoid the market when you exit the falls.

First visit to Dunn's River Falls
March 02, 2023
I really loved this tour. Leon, our driver, was professional and patient and informed and answered our questions readily. Great job! We arrived as one of the first groups to the falls which was nice. DJ our tour guide at the falls was a lot of fun and mindful of each of our group which was mostly senior adults. Our photographer caught some great shots. We did purchase the video and pictures which arrived promptly to our email after we returned home. Time for shopping was adequate. I worried that I would not be physically able to do this but I am so glad I did. A do not miss opportunity.

We had fun doing that excursion. You need some good water shoe, because it can be dangerous climbing the rocks since some of them are slippery. Everybody help each other and it's fun.

Our little group that joined in with a bigger group for the Dunn’s River Falls climb consisted of four seniors (67 and older). We all had a wonderful time. Our guide was so helpful when we were at a difficult step in the climb (and there were a few). Such a fun experience! By far the most exciting excursion of my cruise!

I was worried that I might not be able to do this excursion. It was not too steep and the hardest part is actually at the bottom even though the top looks hard. It was so much fun and the guides help you along the way. We were able to leave our items on the bus so there was no need for a locker. If you have a phone with a water proof case, you will be fine. We were encouraged to not take them because we might lose it. Also, don't buy the video at the end--we did and it is pretty cheesy. I would recommend this adventure.

The falls was fun to hike but it would have been more fun without the "guides." Be prepared to get fully wet. The guides try to get everyone to pose for pictures against the falls and to get fully wet. Do not take a phone unless you have a good water proof carrier for it. It is fun and beautiful and there was no moss to slip on. Easy climb and friendly "guides".

Good experience because of our guides
September 17, 2018
First, props to our driver Nakan, who went beyond his duties (after the Falls he took us to Jerk Center, Juicy Patties, and to a local market for souvenirs!!). He prepped us before the Falls (lockers, required shoes, pick up time, ect.) and warned us about the aggressive vendors. Dunn's Falls is really are majestic. Our guide kept us safe, was extremely friendly, funny, and help us in a jiffy if we got stuck. Here's why this excursion didn't get 5 stars: I though this would be a small group excursion. But ratio of tourist to guide was about 25 to 1. The climb got extremely crowded as the groups behind us caught up.There was a bottleneck at many points and I found myself standing on a small rock trying not to fall, waiting for the person in front to move. I personally felt hurried and felt like I had to pay more attention to my feet than taking in the beauty of the falls. Overall, I'm very happy I did it and do recommend it. But you should know what to expect.

We had a lot of fun with this trip. My wife and I are not real water people but the guides really helped us. There are a couple of things to note though.....be prepared to get wet, you are in the river. If you wear glasses bring a teather for them because they will fall off. Bring dry clothes and a lot of money for the video and tips. There are many people that expect a tip.

Our trip was run by an excellent guide who went above and beyond to make our trip easy. He gave us a lot of good information prior to starting the trip, and provided a safe place to keep our valuables while we were in the waterfall. He also took us to a good restaurant and shopping area after Dunn's River Falls, and then back to the boat. This wasn't expected but was greatly appreciated.

This should be one of the highlights in your visit to OchoRios, Jamaica. Dunn's Falls were flowing quite strong because the rain in days prior. You had the choice of walking the trail alongside, which we did, or walking up against the current like many who were having the best time. The beach at the bottom was very picturesque. The taxi company was so welcoming and provided lots of information to the group about life in Jamaica, a fun place to live and visit.

Did the Dunn's River Falls on Wednesday April 30th. I forget the name of the fellow that picked us up at the cruise port in Ocho Rios, but he was very friendly, polite, organized and gave us a history lesson about the area...He even dropped us off to do some shopping and came back 45 minutes later to bring us back to the cruise ship.... He picked us up at 10 am with another couple who live in the Toronto as well.. Really enjoyed the falls...My husband was a little apprehensive about booking an excursion that wasn't through Celebrity Cruise Lines... But as you say in Jamaica, "" no problem"". Would book an excursion again when we do another cruise. Dan & Mary Riddell

Once the bus arrived the tour was great. Climbing the falls was difficult as the rock steps were rather high and, of course, slippery. We were able to exit and walk along the route for the remainder of the climb. Was a fun experience and we were told later that the hardest part was the first part. Glad we did it.

Was a great experience and thrilling. Yes,you DO need to bring water shoes and a bathing suit as you WILL get wet. You are actually climbing through the waterfall itself. I will say it's physically challenging. The rocks are slippery and I lost my balance and fell many times in the water. Although quite embarrassing, it was refreshing and thankfully, I wasn't hurt. It was gratifying to be able to climb up all the way to the top.

I want to make it clear to anyone considering this tour that this is a VERY wet tour. We were not prepared for this, and we saw several other people not prepared for this. Wear a bathing suit, wear water shoes that have good traction and can get soaked, and bring a towel! The guide will lock the bus you are driven in, so you can leave some personal items safely there. On this tour, you are wading through water and climbing rocks up a waterfall. It takes awhile. You start down on the beach in groups. The picture shown for this tour is misleading--that is just the top of the waterfall, and you have a lot of wading before you get to that point. There are a lot of folks participating, so you sometimes get a bit backed up. The water can get up to waist level, and there are opportunities to slide into pools so you will get head-to-toe soaked. There are really nice observation decks. My husband did the climb in his clothes (we bought some nice water shoes at the shop after being scolded for wearing sandals); I stayed dry and just watched. It probably took between 1-1.5 hours for him to finish the trip. I was able to follow along on the observation decks and get lots of pictures. I was entertained the whole time. The guides film the group as you all make the climb and they sing and cheer, and of course then try to sell you the DVD. They do expect tips at the end and can be a bit rude if you don't give money. You also have to walk through the shops area to get to the exit, where you are bombarded by folks trying to get you to buy things--this was a bit annoying. But overall, this was a fun excursion and we got the water shoes as souvenirs.

It was a little bit of a mad house when we got into the ""excursion"" area. While not the fault of our tour operator, the guides inside the tour area had us wait around instead of directing us to our tour guide from Yardie Tours. We only waited about 15 minutes, but we told them 3 or 4 times that we were waiting for Yardie. Come to find out he was also waiting for us! This was not the booking tour agency problem. It was a port entry problem. Just make sure to pester the people at the excursion entry point if you are cooling your heels. The tour was waiting for us to join so we took off shortly after and headed for the falls. It's a quick 5-7 minute ride and the bus was nice and air conditioned (which was good since it was 90.) Our guide, Jerome, took good care of us and explained what we were going to do and see before we got off the bus. It was reassuring when he told us that it can get very aggressive in the straw market area and that you don't have to walk out that way and showed us the way around it. He walked us into the Falls park and to our hiking guides. You can do this tour dry or wet. There is a small walking path along the outside of the falls that a few people in our tour group took advantage of. But we wanted to climb and get wet!! We were able to store our items in a locker ($5.00 fee additional) and then we walked down to the beach and started up the falls. Shoes are a MUST for this tour. I would even say a good water repelling full shoe or hiking shoe is better then a ""water shoe"". The rocks are slippery and it is easy to become unbalanced. The tour guides help out and watch you every step of the way. The nice thing about this tour was it met shortly after we got into port, so we were one of the first few groups up the falls. It started to get pretty crowded on the falls which is great because someone is always around watching and helping you up. We hung towards the back of our group and were able to get some great pictures of us playing and climbing the falls. The guides will also carry your camera if yours is not water proof. (tip is encouraged). I did fall pretty hard on my foot (nice bruise and a small cut) and after climbing the falls went to the first aid station. The nurse, cleaned the cut and treated it for me for free. It was a nice sanitary facility so if you do get a little banged up on the falls, the first aid station is very clean and easy to use. They were very helpful. We strolled back through the park and met Jerome to head back to the pier. The entire climb took about an hour and 30 minutes, but we had over two hours in the actual park. More then enough time to stroll around and take in the beauty of the park. It was a wonderful experience and I would do it again (even the falling part) in a heartbeat!!

He pointed out bits of information and points of interest along our short ride to the Falls. I would do this excursion again and again (we've already been to Dunn's River Falls twice in one year!)
