We used Mark's Tours for the Blue Hole, River Tubing and Lunch at Scotchies.  Mark was very organized and communicated well through the booking all the way through the trip.  He gave detailed instructions on how to meet up right at the port once our ship arrived.  Mark was very professional and friendly while giving us a great tour while on the way to our various excursions.  He was very knowledgeable about where we were from (Michigan) and also gave us a lot of info and history on the island.  The Blue Hole was beautiful where he transferred us over to an amazing guide (Jamar) and we were able to jump off numerous cliffs and rope swings.  We then traveled over to the River Tubing which he transferred us over to another great guide.  Our guide sang songs to us throughout the whole tubing adventure.  We then went to Scotchies for Lunch and had great jerk chicken and pork along with rum ribs and delicious rum punch.  After that was concluded, he took us over to a shopping center to buy some souvenirs which we requested to do after the fact.  He has great pricing for the excursions and it beats going on the ships excursions.  He has a new tour van which is in great shape.  We had a great experience as there were 5 in our group and 2 others that joined.  i would definitely recommend and will use Mark's Tours again in the future.

It was pretty relaxed and calm.  We had a guide for our private group of 5 people.  He sang as we floated down.  There were a couple smaller but quicker rapids, but I would say all in all, it was nothing to worry about.

Mark has become a wonderful friend to myself, my husband and our friends. Each time I’m in Jamaica I call upon Mark. This past January I just had another wonderful tour with him. 

You will not be disappointed with Mark.
