momonthego17 Posted January 17, 2015 #76 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Our tour was from Falmouth and was $55.00 per person...... we paid for our own lunch (light tasting) at Scotchies and got bottled water. I believe it came to around $30.00 for a whole chicken, 1lb of pork. 8 festivals and 8 bottles of water. Yay! I am really looking forward to our blue hole excursion with Ricardo and Liberty Tours. That review made my day, thanks! Sent from my iPad using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QTPieRye Posted January 17, 2015 #77 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Yay! I am really looking forward to our blue hole excursion with Ricardo and Liberty Tours. That review made my day, thanks! Sent from my iPad using Forums mobile app Once we get unpacked, I am going to write a full review of our trip which will include all of the pictures taken in Jamaica and at the Blue Hole. The guides at the Blue Hole were great with taking pics using my digital camera... a very nice perk, since we didn't have to purchase pictures at the end of the tour :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AandBmom Posted January 18, 2015 #78 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Can someone help me with a few questions? How about taking a taxi from the cruise port in Ocho Rios to BH? What could my 4 year old non swimmer do there? Could my 5 year old good swimmer manage BH? If we go there on our own is there something my mother in law could do there? She doesn't swim? Can she easily walk into the area and sit somewhere? would she have to pay to come in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUNSH616 Posted January 20, 2015 #79 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Thinking about trying the Blue Hole out when we go In May. We will be traveling with my Aunt that is 65 and also we will have a one year old with us. Those that have been do you see them having any issues as far as say walking and navigating their way to the bottom and just floating in the water while the other group jumps ? Want everyone to enjoy this and worried about them being left out. Thanks !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would not recommend taking a taxi and doing this on your own and here's why: The road to the Blue Hole is very narrow (basically single lane) and the taxi's only take you so far up. Once they drop you off, you have to walk the rest of the way... which I would not recommend, especially with kids. With regard to a 4-year old non-swimmer, not sure what they would do at the Blue Hole, unless an adult stayed back to hang out in the shallow water to supervise. There are sitting / viewing spots throughout for anyone to watch the action... your MIL, son or whomever :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heavenlysea Posted January 21, 2015 Author #81 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Ricardo from Liberty tours sent me an email today quoting $270 for 4 of us ($67.50 a person) for transportation to/from the Blue Hole and entrance fee. He did mention a lunch stop at Scotchies but under what was included it didn't have that cost. So, not sure if the cost is what others have paid.

dipper303m Posted January 21, 2015 #82 Share Posted January 21, 2015 I just got quoted for 2 people $75 ea which includes transport/blue hole entrance fee/lunch. I emailed him back asking if lunch was included or if it was just the “drive” there. Got a reply saying “Everything is All inclusive transportation + entrance fee + lunch” I wonder how much they tell you have to buy or so Scotches just give you something? Any one recently experienced this “inclusion”. I didn’t want to bother him again about it so far out to my trip so hence the post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QTPieRye Posted January 21, 2015 #84 Share Posted January 21, 2015 I would just email regarding the inclusion of Scotchies.... he gave us the option of including lunch at Scotchies, so that he could pre-order and have it ready for us upon our arrival. I opted to just buy off the menu when we got there, and we all shared. In the future, I will just do the inclusive, as I completely trust Ricardo's judgment and recommendations. I am going to try and post some pictures of our excursion later today :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

afergvip Posted January 21, 2015 #88 Share Posted January 21, 2015 I just returned from a visit to the Blue Hole via Know Jamaica Tours. Let me just say that it was by far the best tour I have done! I just posted a review of my day there in the Jamaica thread! I highly recommend Know Jamaica Tours. He took us to "secret" spots on the island for great views and photos along with anything else we wanted to do that day! give them a try, I promise you will not be sorry!

mdrobtx Posted January 21, 2015 #89 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Will someone tell me how to post pictures in thread... it's been a while :) You have to upload them to something like Photobucket first and then use the code there to upload to CC. If you need more detail email me. My addy is under my streaming pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan the City Fan Posted January 23, 2015 #94 Share Posted January 23, 2015 I sent an enquiry to Liberty Tours as no pride quoted on the site. I have been quoted $260 for 2 people from Montego Bay to Blue Hole, admission, lunch & transportation. I also tried Courtney Taylor& they quoted $90 each plus$10 entry to Blue Hole, not very clear if lunch is included in this price, just states they will stop somewhere for lunch. These prices seem a lot higher than people on here are being quoted, any suggestions for a cheaper quote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These prices seem a lot higher than people on here are being quoted, any suggestions for a cheaper quote. The reason it costs more from Montego Bay is because it is farther away. Cost wise it is always going to be Montego > Falmouth > Ocho Rios when going to the Blue Hole See map here: Google Maps Route to Blue Hole :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan the City Fan Posted January 23, 2015 #96 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Maybe we will have to look at something different then, it would take mist if the time travelling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our cruise is docking in Falmouth but the things I have seen mentioned here on the Montego Bay side of Jamaica are Doctor's Cave Beach and multiple Negril place. There is a place named Rick's in Negril where they do cliff jumping right by the place. You may want to look into it. It looks awesome to me. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan the City Fan Posted January 26, 2015 #99 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Yeh I agree, lots of different prices quoted on here from Montego Bay with Liberty. We would really love to go there but given the cost quoted im not sure it would be worth all the travelling. Ive heard different travel times quoted, 1 hour 45 minutes. Has anyone done this trip and how long has it taken to get there. Thanks everyone for your replies, it really does help hearing from people who have experienced these trips.
