The best!
Chris was absolutely incredible and made our day in Ocho Rios unforgettable! From the moment we met him, he was friendly, knowledgeable, and made us feel like family. He guided us through Blue Hole, shared information about the area, and made sure we were safe while still having an amazing adventure.

Amazing Blue Hole Experience with Chris
Blue Hole in Jamaica was absolutely amazing! Chris was funny, attentive, and made the day so enjoyable. He even went the extra mile by helping us arrange a taxi for a party later on, connecting us with a reliable driver. If you’re visiting, definitely use Chris’s service. He’s professional, caring, and ensures everything runs smoothly. From start to finish, he made the experience memorable—thank you so much!

Exciting experience that you’ll never forget!
It was a little scary because the current of the river was very strong but the guides were very helpful to keep us safe. Jeffy held my hand and kept a strong hold of me throughout the trips to the pools where we would jump into the crystal blue waters. It was an experience of a lifetime that I never will forget!

Blue Hole trip for 15 women!
Chris was Amazing! We had a group of 15 women on a bachelorette Cruise with a stop in Ocho Rios - we arranged a bus with Chris to take us to Blue Hole and a stop afterwards for lunch. Chris was a great tour guide and the bus was comfortable - we did cliff jumping at the Blue Hole, took a scenic drive and then a stop for lunch. Chris was a fantastic tour guide!

Blue hole Jamaica
When we got to Jamaica it was raining hard. Chris had told the police officer to be in the lookout for me. The officer greeted me with an umbrella. Then he called Chris on his phone and had me picked up. I highly recommend using Chris for your excursion to Blue hole. Our driver Miguel was the best.

Great experience!
Traveled just myself and my 11 year old daughter on a cruise. Everyone made us feel so safe and were super encouraging with my daughter on all the waterfall jumps! It was definitely more adventurous than I expected but so fun. Our driver was super friendly and even stopped at a few places to snap photos of us. Definitely recommend. This doesn’t include the $20pp entrance fee and the pictures cost extra.

Thanks to Chris Jamaica Tours
For our week in Jamaica (August 2024), Chris helped organize many excursions, as well as the pick up from the airport for our family of four. We had such a blast. We went to the Blue Hole, Dunn’s River Falls via catamaran, Bob Marley 9 Mile Tour, bamboo rafting on the White River and jet skiing on Mahogany Beach. Pepsi, one of our drivers took us to Juicy Patties and Chris took us to a little seafood joint by the bamboo rafting. Excellent food. Hiring Chris made our vacation more personalized where we learned so much about 🇯🇲 Jamaica. Out of the 7 days, Chris or one of his drivers was with us for 5 days. We certainly felt safe with Chris and his team. They made our trip memorable; we had so many good laughs.

Simply the Best
Chris arrived and picked us up from the port and gave us a brilliant tour right up to the blue hole experience which I can highly recommend.
When we finished he took us on a magical tour of the lesser known side of the island including a quick pit stop at a great view point and bar.
He’s a massive Man Utd fan so talk was about that as well as other sports. My whole family felt incredibly safe and the knowledge of the island he gave us was brilliant.
A1 from us all
Thanks Chris

Chris is reputable, reliable, down to Earth and exactly who you would want to drive you and your famil around Jamaica!!
We can’t say enough great things about Chris. My husband, two teenage boys and I stayed at the Moon Palace. We ran into a guest who heard us say we wanted to visit the Blue Hole. She had just came back from having Chris take her group to the Blue Hole. She spoke very highly of him and shared his business card with us.
I contacted him. He got back to me immediately through Facebook messenger. He even suggested to go on an early morning and a day the cruise ships weren’t in port so it was less crowded.
He was right on time. His van was very clean. He was funny, easy going and very knowledgeable in pointing out things about Jamaica. We learned alot of fun facts.
He walked us up to the Blue Hole check in and made sure we were handed off to our guide. He was there waiting when we got back.
We were very comfortable with him and would use his services again in a heartbeat, when we return to Jamaica.
Thank you.
