CCL Conquest Excursion- Jamaica Mini Boat tour -New

[Desiree D]

This is pretty new- listed with shore excursions through Carnival. Anyone done this yet? I'm interested, and want to see what others have to say about it. Sounds pretty fun to me. 7 Hour excursion, tour 3 falls including DR and town of "Pretty Port Royal", with lunch included, also Dolphin Cove... Pretty pricey too.....

Sounds like you get to see alot though, for your money.

 

Interested in others opinions.

 

Thanks!

 

*****************

 

This excursion features double the thrills as you drive your own mini boat and climb Jamaica’s famous Dunn’s River Falls.

 

On this excursion you will:

 

Take a 1½ hour motor coach journey to the falls in Ocho Rios.

Follow your guide as you climb 600 feet of cool, refreshing water. Ascend the rushing waters that cascade over natural limestone terraces.

Move on for a briefing on the places of interest and safety instructions for operating your mini boat.

Take the helm as “Captain” of your mini boat as you maneuver on the waves.

Enjoy spectacular views of the lush vegetation along the coast and three waterfalls.

Arrive at Dolphin Cove and take a stroll through the town of “Little Port Royal.”

Explore the replica of Jamaica’s famous Pirate haunt. Join the pirates in their activities on the boardwalk.

View the amazing shark show, see dolphins at play, and interact with birds, snakes and other exotic animals.

Enjoy a Caribbean buffet lunch and shopping before your return journey to Montego Bay.

Note: Minimum age to participate is 8 years; minimum age to drive the boat is 16 years. Two guests per boat. Life vests are provided and must be worn.

It sounds like fun. I'd be a bit worried about Ocho Rios falls. We had a friend injure his knee climbing them. He was told that there are many injuries there from people falling while climbing. I know when I was there it was very slippery. However, it was also very beautiful and looked like quite a few people climbing it. I didn't climb, but stayed in the lower area. One funny note, there was one lady climbing, with a man pushing her on the behind up the rocks. My husband and I both had a chuckle and hoped she knew the man!

Dunns River Falls looks like an accident waiting to happen. I could picture the people falling like dominos.

It seems we have the option to walk up on the side with handrails, because DH isn't too keen on trying to climb the falls. Hope we can opt out of the climb too...

 

Thanks for the replies and warning! So much appreciate this board!

when we went my dh was awaiting knee replacment surgery--he stayed up at the top and waited for everyone to come back up the falls. So NO you don't have to go down to the bottom at all.
