Wouldn’t recommend again nor book.
The rafting doesn’t come with the mud. I wish they explained that before make sure you bring cash cause everybody will be expecting tip and I mean every single body. I wouldn’t really recommend the horses looked like they were hungry. And lastly, they don’t allow you to pick up food you would like I asked to stop by KFC and got told you no but was able to stop by their families restaurant so I didn’t appreciate that. Wouldn’t recommend nor book again.

horse riding and bamboo rafting Ocho Rios 2026
We booked with Courtney Taylor tours ,Tyrone our guide was amazing and gave us loads of local information and we told us about Jamaican traditions. He was really helpful. Re the tours the horse riding in the sea was a fantastic experience (would recommend to go early morning though) relaxing and a pure joy. The water rafting we sang, drank and chilled out and relaxed with limestone leg massage at the end of the experience

Wonderful experience at Bamboo rafting and Horseback riding
We had a really good experience for bamboo rafting and horse riding. Our horses name were Charlie and brown sugar we loved them. One advice to people visiting is- Get cash ( not 100s, may be 10s and 20s for tipping people ) they are really sweet and they deserves to get the tip but they don’t accept credit cards or zelle or venmo. Thanks, Nidhi & Arpit

Fun and beautifully friendly people!
The tour guides were phenomenal, very fun and kind and full of information. They kept us safe and took us to shop when we asked. The communication leading up to the excursion needs to be addressed. Not everyone uses WhatsApp. There was also a time change and we thought we were early and apparently we were late. I would put in the comments that it's best to be outside 30 minutes after the cruise docks instead of the 9:00 p.m. appointment time. Also, it was incredibly frustrating to find them. He sent us his location on WhatsApp but it didn't correspond to my phone. An email would be best with more explicit instructions. Other than that it was a great tour. He got us back in time and we appreciated seeing the beautiful countryside!

The best day ever
We were picked up by Tyrone and he took us horseback riding and bamboo rafting. Both were great experiences! He was very information and gave us a lot of knowledge about Jamaica. We stopped for rum tasting, lunch and souvenir shopping! He is the best and I encourage all to book with them. Thanks Tyrone!
