Other varieties in excursions for Ocho Rios?

[Universe93B]

We are sailing on the Carnival Valor on March 25, 2012 and one of the ports is Ocho Rios. We don't really like any of the excursions that Carnival has on their site. Not really looking to do the Dunn River Falls.

 

Does anyone have any other suggestions on what to do with excursions, just a beach to hang out at, drink at the port (is the port good enough to do this), or just hang out on the ship?

 

How about an Appleton Estates rum tour, any reliable private tour operators where we can do this? Any ideas would be helpful than what we are doing right now!

Are you interested in reggae? Bob Marley's mausoleum in Nine Mile would be my suggestion.

Marva Shaw is a wonderful, very reputable tour guide. Check out her site: www.knowjamaica.com If you don't see a package that you like, email her. She is very flexible and can customize a reasonably price tour for you.

Have you considered hiring a taxi for the day? I went with a party of 8 and we hired a driver for $70 for the day. Should this be something you are interested in check around the boards for recommended tour guides or taxi businesses.

TONS of activities to do in and around Ocho Rios. Zip-lining, Mystic Mountain, Horse back riding, river rafting, YS Falls, shopping, etc.

 

There are a lot of different tour companies and guides. What do you "like' to do?
