DonnaK Posted February 10, 2012 #1 Share Posted February 10, 2012 We are a family of 4 (early 50's plus two young adult daughters). We've been to Ocho Rios a few times - did the Falls and River Tubing (booked with Marva Shaw - loved her!). I cannot figure out what to do in Falmouth that's worth getting off the ship. Any suggestions for something fun/interesting that won't break the budget when multiplied by 4 people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I am not an "island or exploration" person, so the island has little significance to me. I look for a sailing or snorkeling excursion that leaves from the pier. Sometimes a nice beach with a bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
setsail Posted February 14, 2012 #3 Share Posted February 14, 2012 This might suit you. Stop at the white witch on the way, beautiful views. You can get an independent guide at falmouth to carry you around. Around 150.00+ depending on length and what you want to do. http://www.margaritavillecaribbean.com/welcome_montegobay.html We used Patrice http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=1515939 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elbodans Posted February 15, 2012 #4 Share Posted February 15, 2012 i was in falmouth two weeks ago on the voyager. if you don't book an excursion, it kind of isn't worth getting off the ship (and i'd NEVER say that, because i cruise to see the ports, not to enjoy the ship.) the only thing in the port is a shopping mall. it's awful. and beyond the 'protected' port area there's not much, either (and you'll have to deal with some VERY assertive sales people!) i did the horseback ride n swim excursion, which will be too much money for a family (it was almost too much money just for me--ha!) however, i did talk to several people who did what i originally wanted to do--the shuttle to good hope plantation ($25/pp). they said that it was a lovely way to spend a few hours, hiking and enjoying the trails and the scenery. you can also tour the main house. if i ever go back to falmouth (i'm thinking that i won't--i super didn't like it) that's what i'd do.
