kywildcatfanone Posted November 1, 2008 #1 Share Posted November 1, 2008 Hi, We will be in Ocho Rios the week of Thanksgiving, and would like to go to Dunns River Falls. I know there are several tour operators there, and most all have high recommendations on these boards. My question is, would any of them do a private tour for as few as two people? We have 16 going on our cruise, but my wife and I are the only ones interested in going to the falls. Any advice? Thanks, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cantwait2cruize Posted November 1, 2008 #3 Share Posted November 1, 2008 Just make sure you book with a recommended tour guide. Dunn's river falls is great..........but PLEASE PLEASE do not exit the falls threw the straw market area. The vendors are very aggressive to but it nicely.:eek: (watch for exits signs it's a bit confusing). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boiler babe Posted November 3, 2008 #4 Share Posted November 3, 2008 We were in Ocho- October 19th cruise date & used Mark Morris with markmorristours.com. He was awesome...best experience ever!!! It was just my husband & I. I booked the Dunn falls excursion on his website & when he emailed me I told him we wanted a tour of what the locals did instead of touristy stuff. It was 4 1/2 hours of great great fun. We went to falls early , we didn't climb thru falls just walked the stairs & took pictures. then went to his father's home & saw his pottery business(he's retired but still does a little in his home), bought several pieces, tried some sugar cane, scotch bonnet peppers, etc from his back yard, went to lunch at a local place Mark recommended, did some shopping, went to lobster daves' & fishing village, & sightseeing. He tells you lots & lots of info too... cost- $35.00 ea (included fee to DF) memories: priceless!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they steep or regular height. Thanks for your help. Sandy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boiler babe Posted December 1, 2008 #6 Share Posted December 1, 2008 actually, we started at the top..walked down then back up... but, very leisurely, extra wide regular height steps, there are turnouts with benches to rest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did the tour person wait for you at the falls or come back and get you at a certain time after you had been there? Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
