Catamaran Cruise with Snorkeling & Dunn's River Falls from Ocho Rios/Montego Bay

The Chukka catamaran cruise excursion was too much fun. The tour guides were lively and made sure we all had a blast. Worth the price!

The communication between the host and I was great. I didn't need to wait long to get the information I was requesting - This alone made me feel comfortable about my decision to book. The excursion itself was AMAZING!! Every single part of it was great. We were picked up at our hotel in Montego Bay and had about an hour and a half drive to Ocho Rios where the catamaran waited. Along the ride, our driver gave us historical facts about the areas we traveled into. Once we were in the boat, we had a DJ playing Jamaican tunes! Snorkeling was fun as well - it was only about 30 minutes but it made sense since the Dunn's River Falls climb took some time and the crew wanted to ensure we got enough time to do everything. The team (from captains to guides) was exceptional! Anything we needed, we got and they were not afraid to also have a great time with us. They smiled the entire time and made sure everyone had a nice cup of rum punch in their hands lol. The party on the way back to Margaritville was SOOOOO FUN! When I'm telling you it was hard to not dance the entire time, I mean it! There was a great mixture of hip hop, calypso, soca, and dance hall. So good! If I could rate this experience a 10, I would! No complaints, I definitely will be back!

The staff was helpful, fun, and friendly. The food and music was Great. And the rum punch was amazing!!!!

I would not recommend this excursion if you do not want to be away from your resort all day. We left our hotel at 8am and did not return until 6pm. The drive was over two hours each way. The boat ride and snorkeling was fun. I enjoyed my time at the falls and it was extremely beautiful. I was under the impression that our guides on the boat would also guide us up the falls as well. This was not the case and we were given different guides at the falls. I enjoyed my time at the falls but it was soon ruined at the end when the guide expected we provide him with a tip. His exact words were 'I treat you good, you treat me good.' We weren't even out of the water yet and he had us blocked. Of course, we were in the falls so we had no money on us and told him this and he said he would be waiting by the boat. Sure enough, all the guides were waiting by the boat when we arrived. This made us feel very uncomfortable. We already paid a good amount for this excursion and we felt we were expected to tip for every little thing. The guides at the falls expected to be tipped, the workers on the boat, the driver of the excursion, and the tour guide. Be prepared to bring money to tip!

Took 11 family members on this trip - was a lot of fun and they all loved it! We snorkeled before going to Dunn's River Falls but the falls were the highlight of the trip. It is an experience you do not want to miss!

Amazing climb up the Dunns River Falls. Make sure to bring water shoes and waterproof phone case. Bus ride was too long to Dunns River Falls and back to hotel.

Although we had a good time, this trip was misrepresented. We did not realize that the entire trip, from Montego Bay and back, was on the bus and only a short time was actually on the boat.

The crew was a lot of fun! We really enjoyed ourselves on the catamaran and that hike up the falls was amazing.

Too Legit To Party This is a day trip for anyone above 18 who wants to blow some steam off, get lose and have fun, its an adventure brace for details and see how Jamaicans love positive vibes. I stayed in Montego Bay because of its strategic location and pickup from whichever destination should never be an issue, the company is pretty good at pick ups so keep time. The journey to Ocho Rios is the same way like heading to Kingston and at this point am imagining either you have used this road before or you will again, we started on time so contrary to what people say keep time, the drive was amazing keep your camera ready the scenery is amazing. 2 hours later you're in Ocho Rios next to bay area ready to board the Catamaran which comes with staff and a deejay, off sailing but first detour is snorkeling for a good 1 hour all equipment available, then continue sailing to Dunn's River Falls at this point the only drinks being served non-alcoholic. Climbing the Dunn's River Falls is amazing just be careful and follow instructions before you end up with bruises but anyway its fun, after reaching the top then back to Catamaran where now alcoholic drinks are served with waiter to Bay area where Margaritaville Ocho Rios is located for Lunch and Drinks USD About 20 per meal. By this time chances are you have had too much so its time to go home and get ready for tomorrow. Pros: A lot of added value activities including Snorkel, Catamaran Servers, Free Drinks and off course a Deejay Cons: I know your looking for negatives, there was a lot of pick ups but again we need the numbers but what made this an issue was the fact that the driver was quite and not informative, I think he/she should at least talked about the history of the hotels we stopped by during pickups or about different parish that we went through, I also felt like it was too short ride from Dunn's River Fall to Bay since most people were not done with their drinks, I think it is a business strategy so drink steadily on your way back. Tips: Book with Viator this is a no brainer, stick with shorts and t-shirt or light clothes, carry a bottle or 2 of water, good camera with waterproof case and portable charger but a go pro will give you better footage. Also during climbing of Dunn's River Falls you need some grip shoes I paid USD 10 for mine just carry some cash since am not sure if they accept cards on the catamaran.

This tour is amazing! We stayed in Montego Bay so it was about a 2.5 hour bus ride to Ocho Rios and took 8hrs total. Climbing the waterfall was my favorite part of our entire trip! It is absolutely gorgeous and a once in a lifetime experience. We ended at Margaritaville, so take extra money with!
