Itinerary
Dunn's River Falls is one of Jamaica's national treasures. Globally, it is as well-known as Reggae and equally stimulating. There are few places where the Arawak name "Xayamaca" - land of rivers and springs - is more apt. The Spaniards called the area "Las Chorreras" - the waterfalls or springs - and it is truly one of the most beautiful spots on the island. A stone's throw from Ocho Rios, one of Jamaica's fastest growing resort centres, Dunn's River Falls is unique. Described as a living and growing phenomenon, it continuously regenerates itself from deposits of travertine rock, the result of precipitation of calcium carbonate from the river, as it flows over the falls. The small dome-shaped cataracts are usually associated with thermal spring activity found in limestone caves. This, combined with its location near to the sea, gives Dunn's River the distinction of being the only one of its kind in the Caribbean, if not the world.
️ Scotchies Jerk Center Scotchie’s Jerk Center is one of Jamaica’s most iconic spots for authentic, smoky jerk cuisine. Located in Montego Bay, this open-air, rustic eatery is famous for cooking jerk chicken and jerk pork the traditional way — slow-grilled over pimento wood for that rich, spicy, unmistakable island flavor. Guests can enjoy perfectly seasoned meats served with classic Jamaican sides like festival, roasted breadfruit, bammy, and fresh vegetables. The laid-back outdoor setting gives visitors a true local vibe, making it a favorite stop for both travelers and locals. If you want real Jamaican jerk — bold, flavorful, and cooked the authentic way — Scotchie's is a must-visit culinary experience.(

Devon was a great driver and guide! He shared local knowledge about the food and area. We were able to stop at Scotchies and a place to eat patties (OMG DELICIOUS!) on the way back from Dunns River Falls.

Cornell was an excellent tour guide. At first I thought it would be a long boring ride but shortly after getting in the vehicle I realized this was an experience of a lifetime!!! Cornell taught us about some trees, Jamaican culture and stopped us by to get coconut water and explained the benefits and fed us coconut meat!!! Overall this is the best tour that I've ever been on!!! Try it trust me you will not regret it!!!

We had VIP service all the way with Cornell. Cornell took us to the the Blue Hole Ochos Rios. It was amazing. I wasn’t prepared for the water jumps, but I did them and had a great time. Cornell had a wealth of knowledge. He shared historical and cultural insights. We were able to stop as much as we liked. We had fruit on the side of the road. We stopped at a local spot for lunch. Cornell and Chris (my partner) had me in stitches with their jokes. Customer services was exceptional. Cornell definitely helped us create memories.

This was mine and my family’s first trip to Jamaica and it was amazing! We took a tour with Cornell, Howard and a women (forgot her name sorry) but then three were so amazing and helpful! They made the trip so much fun! We karaoked the whole back from the falls singing and laughing! Good vibes only! I highly recommend!! Definitely booking again when we return! Can’t wait to come back!

As advertised, the Dunn's River Falls excursion is a private tour in which only your party is picked up. For our Jamaica vacation we booked most of our excursions with FunTrip Tours and we did not regret it! Mr. Cornell really treats you like family and conversations with him are very engaging. He is very insightful and we learned so much from him! Upon being picked up for our Dunn's River Falls excursion, we were greeted with a refreshing coconut for us to drink up all the nutrients that coconut water provides. Mr. Cornell makes sure that his guests are well taken care of all around! Dunn's Rivers Fall was such a fun adventure! The climb up the falls takes about an hour and I would not suggest climbing without one of the guides leading you. We saw a few people slip on the rocks so we were glad we asked for a guide who showed us exactly which rocks to step on. While climbing the falls, I would not suggest carrying anything with you except maybe your cell phone in a waterproof protective case so that you can take scenic photos along the way. Our guide took beautiful photos and videos of us as we climbed. If you need to store your belongings, the park offers lockers for a small fee. At the end of the climb, be sure to tip your guide as they definitely keep you safe along the way. Also, leaving the park there are a host of vendors who will approach you to purchase items, but I'd suggest waiting to buy anything until Mr. Cornell takes you to a preferred souvenir shop. After leaving Dunn's River Falls, Mr. Cornell actually treated us to lunch at a small Jamaican carry-out restaurant. How hospitable! And the food was amazing! Also, while in Ocho Rios, Mr. Cornell remembered that my boyfriend inquired about visiting the Marcus Garvey birth site and went out of his way to take us there. For my guy, it was the highlight of his day! It's moments like these that make a tour guide stand out as exceptional! And Mr. Cornell is that guide! He ensured that our time in Jamaica was most memorable and we are very thankful for the services of FunTrip Tours Jamaica. If you are reading this review and thinking about it...Go ahead and book this tour!! 😊

Great excursion for a very reasonable price. Cornell really cares if you have a good time and will take you to the best local Jamaican restaurant called Soldiers. It was the best food I ate on the ENTIRE trip! Cornell also went above and beyond for my sister who started not feeling well from the heat, he made sure to get her what she needed and in the AC to nurse her back to health
Good day, thank you for your lovely review. So happy that you and your sister had fun. Sorry about her mishap. Thank you as well for your great review and we hope to see you again soon. Fun Trips Jamaica love you guys ☺

Cornell is the BEST tour guide HANDS DOWN!!! I got the perfect balance between authentic Jamaica and tourist Jamaica! I got to try coconut water, authentic Jamaican food, sugar cane, and soursop! I learned so much from Cornell about the history of Jamaica during the two hour drive to Ocho Rios. He was very accommodating and easy going! He took my cousin and I out two days in a row and both days were so fun! He even made sure we were back at the resort in time for my bday dinner one night and COVID test the next day. It was all so worth it!!! He will tailor your trip to how you like it as long it is within a manageable time frame as he knows whats best for you to have a great time on your outing! Please plan your outings with Cornell you will not regret it!
