Unforgettable Jamaica: Falls, Marley & Mystic Glow

Went out today and the trip was great. Both driver and guide were knowledgeable and full of energy. Great day out. Thank you 😁🙏

We had a great time. The guide was helpful and patient with everyone. There is obviously some climbing and slippery areas. One lady quit halfway through but everyone else stayed the course. It was fun.

A very long day. Day started by being picked up at 7:15 from grand palladium hotel. No chance of getting breakfast first. Bus driver Kieth and guide carina were fantastic. Stopped on the way to a gift shop and food stop where we could buy water shoes and any other bits prior to getting to Dunn river. Shop was slightly overpriced for some things. Arrived at Dunn river and checked in and issued wristbands. Walked down to the beach to start the climb. My 10yr old struggled with his confidence to climb but we managed to get up to the first exit point which was half way before we decided to stop. We walked back to the top of the waterfall and it was stunning. To exit the waterfalls back to the bus we had to walk through a market where we just couldn’t get out and avoid being pestered to buy something. We left the falls and headed to the roxborough to get lunch. We were given cheap fruit juice that wasn’t very nice and lunch was a Buffett of chicken rice and coleslaw. My son doesn’t eat anything out out but carina managed to get him some fries cooked at no extra cost. The ride up to nine mile was scary with the roads being narrow and over hanging cliffs but Kieth mastered it Jo issues. We arrived at 9 mile and Bob Marley mausoleum. Went over the road first to the market where you can buy weed produced products. Not just joints but creams gummies and oils. The tour was fantastic and we were lucky enough to have a cousin to the legend give us the tour. Smoking of weed is permitted while walking about so be prepared to be exposed to it. We left 9 mile and got back to our hotel at 8:30 hungry and tired. This tour would be better broken down into 2

Mr Washington and Mr David... They are great host. They made the entire day seemless. We had alot of laughs, but the best part was his vast knowledge that kept us engaged.

We booked the Jamaica Combo Tour: Dunn's River Falls and Bob Marley’s Nine Mile, including the optional Luminous Lagoon add-on, and overall, it was a fantastic experience! Hotel Pickup & Tour Overview: Our day started with a prompt hotel pickup around 8:30 AM—we were the second stop, and a few more guests were picked up after us. Mr. Washington, our bilingual tour guide, did an excellent job keeping everyone informed and comfortable throughout the day. He made the experience fun and seamless. Stop 1 – Souvenir & Rum Shop: Our first stop was a souvenir shop that also offered free alcohol samples. I highly recommend trying Sangster’s Coconut Jamaica Rum Cream—it's delicious on its own and even better over ice. Definitely worth purchasing a bottle to bring home! Stop 2 – Dunn’s River Falls: Next, we visited the famous Dunn’s River Falls—and it was truly amazing! When you first see the waterfall, it’s hard to imagine making it to the top, but the guides are so helpful and encouraging. There are plenty of rest stops and chances to swim or slide along the way, so don't worry about getting too tired. I wore water shoes for the entire tour, and they were perfect for this part. Stop 3 – Lunch at Mongoose Restaurant: After the falls, we stopped for lunch, which was included in the tour. The food was decent, but I wish there was an option to request white or dark meat, and personally would’ve preferred dark. Stop 4 – Bob Marley’s Nine Mile Tour: From there, we made our way to Nine Mile. The drive up into the mountains was beautiful, and the tour itself was very interesting. We got to walk through Bob Marley’s childhood home and final resting place, visit Mt. Zion Rock, and learn more about his life from our guide. Be prepared—this is a full-day experience, and by this point, we were definitely feeling it! Stop 5 – Dinner & Luminous Lagoon (Optional Add-On): Since we had added the Luminous Lagoon to our tour, we continued on after Nine Mile for dinner and the lagoon experience. Dinner was served family-style at Joe James Gallery. The setting by the sea was lovely, but again, I got white meat (lol) and overall, the food was just okay. The Luminous Lagoon was our final stop. The entrance area felt like a small nightclub that also sold food, but once you walk through to the dock, it becomes all about the lagoon experience. You don’t have to swim—it’s optional—but by that point, we were just too exhausted to get in, even though it looked really cool. We got back to our resort around 9:30 PM, making it a 13-hour day. Final Thoughts & Tips: This tour is packed with amazing stops and gives you a chance to experience the real Jamaica beyond the resort. I’d definitely recommend it to others—but keep in mind, it’s a long day. If you're staying at a nice resort and want some time to relax, consider skipping the lagoon add-on and doing it on a separate day. We wish we had, just so we could fully enjoy it. All in all, it was a great adventure—fun, informative, and a true highlight of our trip to Jamaica!

We had an amazing time on our tour. Dunns River Falls was beautiful! Tour guide was great and very knowledgeable. Next stop Nine Mile!

Went as part of a Tui trip from Rui Reggae. Was fantastic. Climbing the waterfall was a brilliant experience and one I would highly recommend. Going to nine mile and visiting bob marleys birth and final resting place was surreal and I didn’t expect it. This trip was awesome from beginning to end.

The experience was amazing, the driver Rolando took care of us and treated us with the upmost care and respect, Hats off to Rolando!

A great trip from start to finish. Our guide Rolando was both friendly and very knowledgeable. He even went out his way to get a bottle of water for one the guests that didn’t have a drink with them a credit to the company and the travel industry. Would highly recommend this tour to everyone.

Our driver Michael was amazing! The trip as so much fun. It was a girls trip I took with some of my cousins. Highly recommended!
