On our first trip to Jamaica (2005) our excursions were cancelled. We grabbed a taxi and took a tour of the island. It cost about $20 and it lasted a good couple of hours. Our taxi driver was a soccer player on the island and was very popular with the locals. He took us to some smaller waterfalls, and gave us a "local's" tour of the island. He stopped several times to pick the local plants and give us a small botany lesson on their uses (as it turned out his father was a "medicine" man). It was a great tour and very inexpensive. As you'll find when you go to Jamaica there are tons of taxi drivers just waiting at the gate to get your attention. Just take your time. The rates will drop as you say no..and the "tour" they offer you will get better the more times you turn them down.
