we went during the first week of Dec/08 whlle on a day excursion with Carnival cruise lines. We were in a tourist trap and you hurried everywhere but they tried to make it fun. The rocks were huge at times and it was something how the guides negotiated you in a human chain up. You need the help to get... more

We have taken tour of Gardens/shopping/Dunn Falls thru Carnival Cruiselines on Christmas. Gardens were nice,. loved the tropical feel - just like in St. Lucia. Shopping was horrible - we were driven to gated shopping tourist trap of Tajmahal shopping center - prices outrages - $10 for a pack of playing cards and $30 for a tee-shirt!! OUTRAGES! Dunn River... more

We went to Dunns River Falls on December 1, 2008 on an arranged excursion from our hotel. The excursion was 60 and included a "sightseeing" trip to Ocho Rios, with a lunch break in the middle. The bus ride, driver and guide were very nice. It takes about 2 hours to get to the falls from most hotels in Montego... more

Of the weeklong cruise of wonderful memories, being herded like cattle up the falls is my least favorite memory. I knew it was going to be a tourist trap, but never in my life did I feel like such an official "tourist." Why was everyone in such a hurry? From the cruise, rushed off the bus, get the water shoes,... more

We did the falls on Nov 20. The only negative was the trip from Montego Bay because we took the trip from the hotel, they had a bus and it stopped at about six other hotels on the way, made the trip long. Would take a taxi next time. Paid $43 to go through the hotel, total time was about... more

On 11/15/08 a group of friends and I boarded a "party boat" for swimming, snorkeling and a visit to Dunn's River Falls. Our experienced and friendly guide told us what we needed to know and do before beginning our climb. We rented aqua shoes from the party boat crew. There was also a guide with a video camera to capture... more

We drove to Dunns River falls and saw ackey growing in orange balls from the trees in the wild. At the falls we stepped out of the bus and men (who appeared to be our tour guides) approached us asking our names and welcoming us to Jamaica. People were being offered “free” bottled water and “free” welcome souvenirs which they... more

There are lots of options for how to do this attraction like party cruies etc, but as a family with a small child we opted for the simple bus drop-off. We allowed 2 hours for the experience which we felt was plenty of time. The coach drops you off in the car park, you enter through a gate and walk... more

Went to climb the falls for the 2nd time on an early October cruise stop in Ocho Rios (had also been 2x on non-climbing visits). This was part of a 'tour' offered by local Marva Shaw that included minibus transportation to the falls, 90 minutes there, transporation to the tubing river east of Ocho, and a stop at a local... more
