Dunn's River Falls

[Famof6]

Our family of three adults and three teens will be cruising in June and stopping at Ocho Rios. We'd really like to do Dunn's River Falls and possibly river tubing, but there is not a ship excursion that combines the two. I've heard that since all of the excursions end up at the falls, it's very crowded in the afternoon and much better in the morning. My question is, is this something we could do on our own? Jamaica has a scary reputation, but if we could climb the falls early and save some money it would be nice.

I agree - we did the falls and river tubing + Ferngully with Ione McBeam. She does the same tours that Phil Lafayette, Peat Taylor and others do. $55 plus tips - cash only! I was afraid of Jamaica before going, but we had the most fun this day!

We did exactly what you want to do with Peat Taylor www.peattaylor.com and loved it. We were leaving as the ship tours were still lining up and got there early and were almost done by the time some ships tours were arriving. It was $30 each for tour and DRF (now $35 as admission has increased). An additional $20 for the river tubing. We could leave our belongings with Peat and have no worries. He even had a cooler of Red Stripe waiting for us. He is great.

We did the falls in Dec. and just caught a bus right off the boat and negotiated a fare with them and paid our own way into the falls. Do remember to bring water shoes and a waterproof camera. The guides are very good about taking pictures for you. There are lockers at the falls to store your backpack in also. Have fun!

We did the falls and tubing with Phil Lafayette last week. We were the first people to arrive at the falls..no crowd! We had a great day.

We took a tour with Peat and his son. The best day of our cruise. We did the falls and the tubing. Could have missed the tubing, as we do that in NC. It was fun but a little short.
