3 tours one day
We booked a tour through Jacquees after finding reviews on a Moon
Palace guests FB page.. We were a family of 9, age range between 8 and 60. Jacquees offers a range of 3 tours for a set price PP including lunch.. Great value, we opted for Bamboo rafting, Blue hole
Waterfalls, and Horse riding through the sea..
Our driver Wayne was so friendly, funny and informative, we all felt so comfortable with him. He arrived at hotel reception 10 mins before scheduled pick up (no waiting around)..
The tours were amazing, the day ran smoothly, tour was private and personal.. I have already recommended to new guests I have met this Evening at the hotel..
Thank you all for an amazing day :)

The Blue Hole Jamaica
Our trip to The Blue Hole was amazing ! We had a wonderful driver, Daron, to pick us up at the port and drive us there. Once there, we had a guide bring us through three pools at The Blue Hole. He literally held our hands across the streams we had to cross, took photos and videos on our phones of our jumps and made sure we kept our place in line in the busiest spots. On the way back to the port, Daron brought us to a great restaurant for jerk chicken, then to a souvenir shop. I highly recommend this tour!!

Nothing short of amazing
My favorite part of the experience was our guide at the blue hole. He was amazing. We had a group of 4 and he took the time to take basically all our photos for us capturing very special moments with each of our phones. He kept us safe and made sure we had a fabulous time. We even had a clay spa treatment
His name is Javier and he is the best.
