Which shore excursion in Ocho Rios from RC?

[kfamily2534]

Going on Liberty of the Seas in June to Western Caribbean. While in Ocho Rios the family is trying to decide between the Jamaica Kayak Safari & Dunn's River Falls or the Chukka Buggy Safari? Has anyone done these or can give more information about either of them? Or we are considering not going through the ship and doing a Marva Shaw tour which I know has been highly recommended. Opinions? Personal experiences?

Ocho Rios is very easy to use a local operator. I would do that. They can usually do everything the cruise offers (except for dolphins I believe) for less and with fewer people on your tour and more personal experience. You don't have to go far either so no real worries about missing the ship (which is why a lot of people use cruise ship tours).
