This tour far exceeded our expectations. This was our first time in Jamaica and our guide skillfully led us from our ship, to the blue hole, a local lunch spot for delicious jerk chicken, then a shop where we could get the specific items we sought. He told us all about the locations we passed and answered all my questions. I would absolutely recommend this company over any cruise line run excursion.

The trip was fun but the drive was too long and we had to wait a long time for other groups before we could go back and they had to kill time driving us around. I would have rather been able to get back.

Amazing tour. Joel was a great tour guide. Very informative tour. Blue hole is a lot of fun and adventurous. Make sure you have proper water shoes and prepare to hike a little. Our guide at the blue hole was amazing as well. Everyone of the staff members were kind and encouraging, especially to people that were scared. I would definitely recommend this tour and Joel as your guide.

Our guide Joel was great. The Blue Hole Experience was a lot of fun if you are looking for some adventure. Joel also took us to a local jerk chicken restaurant that was very good. He also took us to a beautiful lookout point along the way. He was very knowledgeable about the area and is a native. The only negative was that the tour description should be updated to reflect the description of activities at the Blue Hole more accurately. We felt a bit under prepared based on the tour description. We thought it was a swim in the Blue Hole when it is jumping in, swinging in, and hiking around slippery rocks etc. We made due and had a great time. Just bring proper water shoes and attire.

My family and I took a cruise to Falmouth, Jamaica and we were greeted by our amazing driver Kenneth. Kenneth took us to the blue hole, river rubbing and to lunch at Scotchies. We had a great day exploring the island and a great time with our friendly driver Kenneth! The whole experience from start to finish was easy and they went above and beyond to accommodate us.

I was nervous initially as this was the first excursion of my first cruise and the tour was booked outside of the cruise line. Joel, our guide, was funny, kind and put my daughter and I completely at ease. Upon arrival, he immediately asked us what time we needed to be at port for departure and had us back in time to walk around a few shops before returning to the ship. Joel provided historical information and stopped to take our picture at landmarks along the way from the cruise port in Falmouth to our destination, Blue Hole. He heard my daughter and I talking about how we were missing Starbucks and even made a special stop at a Starbucks at the end of the day. In return, we kept him up to date with the score of the Argentina vs Croatia World Cup match on the way back to port. Jamaica was hands down our favorite stop during the cruise because of the beauty of the island and kindness of the Jamaican people. I will absolutely be taking another trip to Jamaica and will book again with Marvyn's Tours! I cannot recommend Marvyn's Paradise Tours and Joel as a guide enough!! ¡Hala Argentina!

I was SO excited about this! The driver was so nice. We were traveling with tweens 12-14 and he was entertaining with his information, stopped to get them sugar cane, and also a real Jamaican jerk experience! When we get to blue hole, well, I thought I had made a HUGE mistake. The water is not swimmable, turbulent, cold, and you jump in from WAY high up. I thought for sure no one was gonna jump. I went first to show everyone that death was not imminent. Scared out of their wits, they one by one took the plunge! Wow! I can’t tell you how great they felt about themselves for conquering blue hole! It was SO MUCH fun! The tour lasts a while, hiking on slippery paths to jump in several different places. The guides were great, holding hands and helping over iffy places. Don’t forget to bring a little cash for tips and maybe some jerk on the way back. We were at port on a cruise and had plenty of time for this fun activity!

We had such lovely driver named Kenneth. He was so sweet and took us to some shops. Then we went to the Blue Hole and had a wonderful time jumping off the little waterfalls. When you arrive at the Blue Hole you are given you’re own lifeguard/guide to help you onto the rocks and out of the water. He was fantastic as well. Bring water shoes and dry clothes to change into! Make sure you bring money to tip him as well as your driver! Afterwards, Kenneth took us to a nice outdoor restaurant where we able to experience some Jamaican food. The jerk chicken was delicious! I highly recommend this tour as there is nothing to really do in Falmouth. We had a nice air conditioned van to drive around in. This company was very easy to work with especially when some of our family wasn’t able to make the trip. So easy to cancel. :)

We had a great time on our blue hole adventure! Probably the one of the best things about our cruise! Big thanks to our driver from the port Dalton, and to our blue hole guide Tony! Both were great guys and gave us the best time!!!

Marvyn and Sana were amazing hosts and tour guides!! Our family of 10 had a blast sightseeing, jumping off into beautiful, clear waters and eating jerk chicken/rice and beans. The day passed too quickly and we are left longing to return to such a beautiful country with friendly/helpful people. “Don’t worry about a thang…”

10 years ago we had our first tour with Marvyns, we returned once again via cruise ship and we had to do this experience again. I requested Dalton one more time and he was still there which was an absolute blast. Marvyn called us to make sure that everything was going smoothly and welcome us back.We had an exhilarating time at the blue hole, a wonderful drive through Ocho Rios, Bob Marley playing, and Scotchies for the best jerk chicken. Don’t hesitate to book with this company, it’s much more personalized and a wonderful experience in Jamaica! The only thing I wish is that we would have had more time. Until next time!!! ♥️

I highly recommend this company. Our tour guide arrived promptly for pick up and was so easy going. We started off leaving the hotel he let us know that if we needed to make any stops we could. Someone in our group was low on cash and needed to do an atm run. He took us to 3 atms before finding a working one. We expressed to him that we wanted a taste of local Jamaican food so we stop at a very tasty jerk spot that had great rum punch and jerk chicken! We did horseback riding and blue hole. At each stop Shawn was very helpful with watching our belongings in the car and instructing us on our next steps. This is my third time using Marvyns tours and I would recommend them over and over again!

I would book with this company again! We were so bummed that our ship could not dock at port and that we would lose out on our money for the excursion but Marvyn promptly refunded us once we were able to communicate that our ship couldn't make port. Thank you!

Jamaica was the highlight of our trip! The Blue Hole is absolutely stunning! Kenneth was an amazing driver and we were greeted and escorted by Merlin through the Blue Hole. Merlin took such incredible pics of my husband and me on my phone and did not charge extra for the photos. On the way back to the port, Kenneth stopped at a Jerk Center so we could enjoy local food and even stopped at a beach so we could enjoy the scenery and water. I would just say that the Blue Hole is best suited for active people who can swim and climb and aren't afraid to jump.

We spent a wonderful day being driven by Tyrone to the Blue Hole, River tubing and shopping. We very much enjoyed the interaction with Tyrone throughout the day. He was a wealth of information about his country and a very safe driver- both things were very appreciated. We had a great time at the Blue Hole- it was so much fun. I didn't know exactly what to expect there, but it is a beautiful location on a series of waterfalls. We had the opportunity to jump into the Blue Hole from several different heights. Our guide there was fantastic! It is definitely for the adventurous type. Then we did the river tubing which was also very fun. They keep groups together who are together which was nice. Then we stopped at a souvenir shop and had an opportunity to buy some things. One thing that would be helpful to know in advance is that there are 3 different guides involved, the driver, the guide at the blue hole and the guide at the river tubing. We weren't prepared to tip 3 different individuals, which worked out fine, but would have been nice to know in advance.
