Best day of our trip!
Best day of our trip! Both locations visited were beautiful and so fun. It's great to have the flexibility with a private driver to stay as long as you want, leave when you are ready, and also to lock belongings in the vehicle for when you're swimming and can't have them on you. One thing to note - the drive to Blue Hole is really out in the boonies and there are many speed bumps, pot holes, etc. My friend felt road sick but luckily only for a short time, and arriving at blue hole made it worth it. Our driver Teri was great to try and keep our drive smooth, check in on us at the locations, and most importantly, get us back to our resort safely. As 2 young females we were a little weary of booking a private tour and not having other tourists around, but I'm very glad we did. The vehicle was comfortable and air conditioned, and had screens to watch music videos - I will say some of the hiphop/rap music videos the driver played seemed a little innappropriate/disturbing but if that's the worst of our day oh well lol. He did let us pick some of our music as well. Overall I would definetely recommend this trip! Thank you Teri!

The best
We absolutely had an amazing time! Our driver was knowledgable, patient and absolutely amazing. He even stopped for us to buy fruit and patties. We had a great time both at the Mineral Spring and Ricks Cafe.

Fun times
Kevin was fantastic. I was initially going to go with another transportation service, but ended up booking with Jamaica Mesmerizing Tours. I highly recommend it for anyone needing transportation in Jamaica. They will recommend places based on what you want. I would book with them every time I go back to Jamaica. Fun times !

Amazing
I highly recommend Mesmerizing tours for all your excursions and airport transfers! My guide, Carlos, was the absolute best! Fifteen of us girls went with him on several private excursions during the course of 6 days. We all had a blast, gained knowledge about this beautiful country, and felt safe, all which were very important to us. I'm happy I chose Jamaica Mesmerizing Tours and I will every time ❤🇯🇲

KEVIN IS THE BEST
Kevin our driver was the ABSOLUTE BEST!!
He was fun and patient.. He talked to us all about Jamaica and where we were going. We felt totally comfortable and completely safe with him. This was one of the best days of my life and Kevin made it happen. I will forever have a spot in my heart for him!!!
As 2 women travelers you always have people saying never to leave the resort. BS. Leave the resort. Talk to people! Look at this amazing place and live! Jamaica should be experienced, not feared.
Thank you Kevin!!! ❤️

Marijuana tour
Highly recommended activity. Mineral water is nice to get a real soak in. If your brave you can take the ultimate leap into the mineral hole. If you smoke this the right place. The marijuana is so good.

2nd Day!!!
On our second day touring with Carlos he was on time and had to wait for us. Lol we are sorry Carlos. Now the blue hole is the place to be if you love marijuana. We went on the marijuana farm tour and it was amazing. Guides who are diving from trees are fun to hangout with. Absolutely a great chill spot. Our final stop was at the ricks cafe such a cool spot. Food and live music was great.

Solo traveler. Definitely recommended.
I would definitely recommend! This was a solo trip and my driver, Lorenzo, was on time and was very kind. He watched over me while I went out.
The water hole was amazing. I was skeptical at first, because it was in a weird rode, but once we got there the staff was very nice. I was scared to jump, and the guys took turns getting in the water with me and talked me up until I jumped three times (each time a little higher than before)
I’m not much of a party person, but Rock’s was fun too. I ended up getting on the glass boat and had an amazing time watching the sunset.
