Combo Blue Hole & River Tubing Tour from Ocho Rios

Dalton, with Marvyn's Paradise Tours, was our favorite guide of all our excursions. He drove us through town, pointing out important landmarks, even gave us a little bit of a history lesson. Regarding the Blue Hole, be prepared to jump! They'll give you a life vest. I believe you can climb the rocks down and swim across if you prefer not to jump. I hit the water wrong and got a huge bruise on my arm, but no big deal. For the river tubing, I was surprised it was just me, my husband, and our guide. He was great and even serenaded us. This was very quiet and relaxing.. I enjoyed it, but I could see it being too boring for thrill seekers. Bring money to tip! I'm not sure if they prefer USD or JMD, but we gave JMD.

We thoroughly enjoyed our experience and Dalton was a great tour guide. He kept the conversation flowing during the drive to our destinations and had loads of little nuggets of knowledge about the local area. Marlon was our guide at the Blue Hole and he took loads of great pictures and videos of us. He even managed to retrieve my iWatch after it fell off during one of the jumps. Dwight was our guide for the tubing and I highly recommend that you request him.

The whole experience was great! Sean was on time, he was patient and kind. The tour guides at the blue hole were also respectful and nice. We felt safe with them as four young women and would definitely come back.

Lazy River ! Easy and fun and safe. Pleasant people to work with. The guides took great photos for us on our camera phones .

This was an excellent excursion!! Our driver Kenneth was amazing for the day! We started at Blue Hole and the water and views are breathtaking. We had our own personal guide since it was pretty empty and had the best clay massage under the waterfalls! Our next stop was tubing on the river which was nice and relaxing after the hiking at blue hole. Jamaica had a 2pm curfew on Sunday but we had plenty of time at both locations and made it back to our hotel by 1 pm. Excellent excursion and highly recommended.

Marvins tour was amazing!!! First you go the Blue hole, Spoiler alert! The jumps are amazing and the water is so beautiful! It’s definitely an active activity which I love and then you relax in the tubing setting which has a swing and a deck to jump off. 10/10! -Shy.

The River Tubing and Blue Hole excursion was awesome. Scottie, Dwight and Richie did a fantastic job bringing us down the river and my family and my friends family had a great and fun experience.

Now this was an amazing experience. We were picked up from the villa where we stayed while in Ochi, Marvyn’s Tours was very accommodating. They arranged for a driver named Kenneth (who was great to us!) to pick us up from the Villa to our first stop at the blue hole. From there we met Troy, who was our guide at the blue hole. Troy made us feel comfortable and provided a fun experience climbing up and exploring the blue hole. My boyfriend and I were joined by another couple-we climbed the falls a few jumped into the water. It was beautiful. We were there a little over an hour. Next we were driven to White River for tubing. Our tubing guide Dwight, gave us a truly special experience as we floated down the river and relaxed. Overall unforgettable and highly recommended. Thank you

This is a great tour if you're not into the big crowds. We went early on a weekday, so mostly the traffic was going in the opposite direction heading into work. Original pickup was a little odd. First you get transferred from the cruise port to a random parking lot in front of an auto repair shop. From there, eventually you get picked up by Marvyn's Paradise tours. Our driver was super nice and helpful in his knowledge. Next stop was Blue Hole. All of the gear stays in the van except for cameras and swim shoes/swim suits. Next step was White river, really nice. The guide there sang a lot of Bob Marley songs, really nice, but a little short. Actually the estimate of 5-6 hours is a little misleading. While you could spend that many hours, mostly at Blue Hole, the guides are kind of waiting around on you, so we only spent about 2.5-3 hours on the entire tour. Afterwards was lunch at a local "patty" shop. So a few things to remember: You will have three different guides. Remember to bring plenty of small USD bills for tipping. You may or may not be able to get change, but they will all expect/depend on tips to make their living. Overall a great time, would do another tour with this operator (Marvyn's) for sure.
