Jamaica Dunn's River Falls Party Cruise with Snorkeling

Started off with snacks Jerk chicken, rice and peas before the cruise. We boarded the boat and snorkeled for about 20-25 minutes shortly after taking off. The waves were a bit choppy so everyone had to wear some form of life vest. We then boarded the boat again and cruised to Dunn's River Falls which was about 20-25 minute ride. Dunn's River Falls is beautiful. I did find the climb to be a bit challenging because the rocks are slippery but it is manageable. Once we finished the climb, pictures and videos were available to purchase. 10 per picture 40 per video. They welcomed us back on board with Jamaican Beef Patties and Rum Punch. And the party began! Tour guides danced and taught us Jamaican moves and it was a really fun time. Bus picked us up from Montego bay at 9:30 am. It took about a hour and a half to get to Ocho Rios. We arrived back at the hotel at 7 pm. It is an all day adventure.

My boyfriend and I went on this cruise last Monday Aug 13th, 2018. The boat was a good time and so was snorkeling. The main event at Dunn's River Falls was definitely a cool experience. However, I have to give this company 1 star because I felt they should have warned the people on this tour about the DVD scam. When you arrive at the falls, the staff for Cool Runnings stays aboard and hands you off to people who work at the Dunn's River Falls (or do they?). We were assigned a tour guide "Thompson" and a videographer "Cecil" who follow you up the falls videotaping the experience of the group. They even went as far as to make my boyfriend and I kiss for the camera and asking everyone in the group "what they love about Jamaica" while videotaping. Clearly this was all fake. They were never videotaping the group. They act like they are and then they try to sell you a $40 DVD at the end. We bought it figuring it would be fun to watch and we wanted to help the guys out by purchasing it from them. Well i wish i never did! They give you a blank DVD which you don't know until you get home and try to play it. Such a shame when you try to help people out and they take advantage of you. I know 100% that Cool Runnings is aware of these scams. These guys even came to the boat to drop off the dvd to us. How can a company not warn the 100 people on their boat to watch out for a scam like this? Maybe they have a contract with these guys and get half of all the blank dvds they sell. For this reason I would never use this company again and would recommend to anyone that does that you don't buy anything from anyone at the Dunn's River Falls!!!

Plenty of room on the boat for everyone. Snorkelers are given gear and a float belt. There is a lot of sea grass in the reef and critters/fish can be seen in the grass and on the coral. Staff pointed out points of interest. Falls are beautiful. There are steps next to the falls if you are not up for climbing slippery rocks. There are places where you can enter the falls along the step route which is nice for a dip. After climb party on the boat was a lot of fun. Sunshine and the crew are excellent!

Fun and Sun a great way to do Dunns river falls! Great music and water tour with the added bonus of snorkeling!

The staff was very accommodating and entertaining. They made the experience for me and my family so much fun.

The party boat had nice music and drinks. Pick up from the resort was on time. Staff was helpful with snorkeling gear and Dunn’s River Falls was breathtaking.

Had fun and it something new to try. The crew members was entertaining and helpful. Will go again.
New to snorkeling and they was very patience with me.

The 3.5 hour tour is very misleading. If you are in Ochos Rios and get yourself to the boat then it's that short but if you are in any other city and get picked up at your hotel it is much longer. We were picked up in Montego Bay at 9AM. It is a 2.5 hour bus ride to the boat where we had lunch before sailing. No alcohol allowed until after the snorkeling and Dunn's River Falls. The Falls are great but it's an hour hike up it. We got back to our hotel at 8PM. It turned out to be a fun day but most of the people on the bus in the morning had no idea it was going to be a full day tour. If you are leaving an all inclusive resort it would be nice to know that.

So much fun. The guides were amazing.

Amazing!!
