Amazing experience with Omar Tours Jamaica - Ray was an amazing tour guide. My family and I throughly enjoyed blue hole and bamboo rafting. He was accommodating, friendly and overall made our experience amazing. I would highly recommend using Omar Tours Jamaica for all your excursions. I will definitely be using them again when I return.

Great experience! Would recommend - The driver was so helpful locating me after getting off my cruise and provided me time to shop. Great experience and felt generally safe. I felt there was knowledge for authentic Jamaican experience. I appreciated no additional fee for the limestone massage. Honestly great experience!

Amazing and great fun. Definitely recommend - Me and my 9 year old son had an amazing day we were collected from Mystic Ridge resort. We booked bamboo rafting which was at Rio Nuevo River followed by tubing at White River. Our host communicated prior to our trip up to present, respectful and polite. Informative throughout and gave us a really interesting history facts about the island. Shadow our rafter was amazing too, my son loved the tubing which was led by Dwight. Thank you Island Drive Tours, would definitely recommend and use again when we return to Jamaica in the future, thank you again.

Fun to do but pricey - It was fun, but not for that price. We didn't get a massage or a red strip, as stated in the review. You could buy one along the river though, which they try to do of course. The driver and captain were very nice and friendly.
