Ve u fun excursion Recommend getting water shows before hand for the waterfall
The Chukka Catamaran experience was very good! The crew was lively and entertaining, and sweetly flirtation with the single ladies. Dunn's River was not crowded, as we did our excursion on a Monday, which makes all the difference in the world...trust! After the cruise, we were taken to the Chukka Outpost for shopping and lunch. Lunch is included and provided by Margaritaville; however, the food and service was not stellar, and therefore put a damper on the great day that we were having. I would recommend and repeat this excursion again.
I’ve been on many party boats and this was by far the worst experience Ive had. Bartender and DJ service were terrible. The party boat was half over and we still hadn’t listened to any music, the ambience was off. A party boat with no music for most of it? Bathroom was very dirty. The only think that was good were the drinks and the ladies taking photos, they were very pleasant
The catamaran cruise was horrendous. Blasting music that no one seemed to be enjoying but a couple of twerking ladies. No snacks, only a choice of juice or water. It was the worst boat trip I have ever taken. You also had some women there taking photographs on board and then hassling you for $100 for copies of them?!! Wtf The Dunn's River Falls were great, though. What an experience. Our guide was great, and as was the videographer (who asked for $40 for a huge selection of personally tailored videos and pictures). We truly enjoyed the Falls. We didn't eat lunch until 3.30, though, which was a bit too long. We were also only given 35 minutes to eat our lunch once we got to Margaritaville.
The transfer to and from this activity was really good, we were picked up at 9:45, but we had to wait over an hour to go up Dunns fall and after that we expecting lunch as it was 1:30pm, we didn’t get lunch and went straight out on the catamaran and had a very rushed snorkelling experience. We then got taken by car to have lunch but by this time it was nearly 4pm, we were starving and then told we had to buy drinks with lunch at $12 each (even though it said lunch and drinks included), we ended up asking to be taken back to the hotel to get food and drinks there. We loved Dunns falls but would not recommend doing it as part of this trip. Take snacks if u do this trip!
Climbing the rocks was adventurous and fun! Our tour guide Loyd was extremely helpful and guided the way perfectly! Grizzly was on point with the videography. He really captured the moments. Our photos and videos came out great! Our boat ride to snorkeling and back was so fun. Our captain, Dj and crew members really made the trip. From the music, to the drinks and dancing we had a blast! The water was beautiful and weather was great. We didn’t see any fish but overall amazing experience!
Had an awesome time. Highly recommend. The crew was very warm and friendly. Thumbs up to the music selector and the dancer who ensured that everyone had a great time.
We've been picked up by a excelent Driver. We got to the boat deck at dunns River. First we gad to go on the boat to check in after WE went up dunns River which was amazing. What was not good was the Foto videographer Things on the boat they tried to get you to buy their Pictures. They also Made Pics of you If you didnt want to. Then there was a videographer which follows you the way Up make Pictures of u also the Tour Had to Pause when He took the Pics of each. For 40 Dollars you can buy them and get them via Mail. After we went to the snorkling Spot. The snorkling was quiet nice. You Had to watch to get No finns in your head but thats Part of IT. The Guide Had to Feed the fish on. After snorkling the boat went Back to dunns River where the drivers where waiting to Take us to margaritaville for lunch. The Guide took us directly through a Souvenir Shop to margaritaville. There where no Drinks included with the meal. And the Margaritaville Guys tried to sell everything to the people. The Tour was OK but for us the biggest thing was the very loud music and that everybody want to get to your Cash on each possible was.
We spent the day with the people of Chukka. A very busy day but a day etched in our memory. It all started with the bus directly in the hotel lobby and on schedule. Direction OchosRios Dunn River thank you to Driver Wilson who pointed out some important spot on the way. Once we arrived we were taken care of by a very nice lady (I don't remember the name but a Chukka employee) who explains everything clearly. We have them probably the best Guide and photographer (I don't remember the name 🙁 so sorry) but it made our ride a fun and safe experience! We loved me, my husband, and my child! Goodman, Goodboy, GoodWoman, (maybe they'll recognize each other and be able to give their names 🙂 ) Then the catamaran/dive with other Chukka employees, very nice and fun again very safe and friendly. The boat is very good, lots of seating, and of course with good music. For diving, we saw all kinds of small but very visible fish especially close to corals. Perfect for a child and a mom not too used to diving. Once back on earth, our bus was already there to go to the Margaritaville for a bite to eat. A little time to see the local shops and hop we left for the hotel. So we hesitated between Negril or Ochos Rios and I really do not regret our choice a day FILLED with smiles and memories. Thank you to the Chukka team, driver, guides, photographer you made our day a joy. I wish I could highlight my guides with names but unfortunately I can’t remember 🙂 V.
Excellent tour company. The boat personnel were on point . Safety was a great factor . The whole experience should be commended
