Z-Knight Posted February 4, 2010 #1 Share Posted February 4, 2010 Can someone recommend a tour (Company or tour operator) to Dunn's Falls from Montego Bay? I'll be there from Carnival and I wanted to go with markstours.com, but he only operates out of Ocho Rios. He had a nice tour that included a tubing portion and I was looking for something similar. My searching thus far has been for tours from Ocho Rios so I'm kind of stumped as to one from Montego Bay. Thank you in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovtravel32 Posted February 4, 2010 #2 Share Posted February 4, 2010 If you use www.explorerjamaica.com you will never go wrong with their service. Their vehicles are clean and new. We did a tour with densil the owner of explorerjamaica on jan 20. 2010 in Montego bay and he did a great job getting us back on good time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z-Knight Posted February 5, 2010 Author #3 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Thanks for that link. I contacted them and they called me directly, which was very surprising and pleasant. I was specifically looking for a Dunns Falls and Tubing coupled excursion and they are arranging that for me and looking for a group discount for me, so that is cool. thanks again.

Plant Posted February 6, 2010 #4 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Please be very careful about the time! Generally, the Dunn's River Falls excursion is done from Ocho Rios. From Montego Bay you'll have a long bus ride. JMHO, if Carnival offer's a Dunn's River Falls tour from Montego Bay, I'd take that one rather than the independent tour, no matter what the difference in cost. If you're late on the Carnival sponsored tour they'll wait for you-on independent tours, you're on your own :eek:. Have a wonderful cruise whatever you decide!

Having been there many times I second that! Do it with Carnival! I only do independents but for DRF from MB I would go with the ship! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taillon Posted May 4, 2010 #9 Share Posted May 4, 2010 We are sailing with Carnival Conquest in the fall and have booked a tour with Peat Taylor from Mo Bay to Dunn's River Falls and lunch in Ochos Rios...he also had an option of tubing or horseback riding. I have read great things about his business here on the boards and I feel confident that he will get us back to the cruise ship in time. I haven't read anything on the boards about someone being left behind that went with a reputable company...this is their livelihood so they can't afford the reputation of leaving cruise ship passengers stranded.

I haven't been since the highway was constructed, but I know it could have been very nerve wracking hoping not to miss the ship. It used to be a 2 hour trip one way, I think it is now a 1:30 - 1:45 one way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
