5 Star Experience with Devon - Devon was absolutely amazing! He transported me and my family to our rafting excursion and made the entire experience smooth, safe, and stress-free. Not only was he professional and on time, but he was warm, welcoming, and truly went above and beyond. After the excursion, Devon gave us a wonderful tour of Jamaica, sharing local gems and history along the way. We felt like we got to see the real Jamaica, not just the tourist spots. He even took us shopping for souvenirs and made sure we got great deals and authentic items-not the usual overpriced stuff. Devon was more than just a driver-he was a guide, a vibe, and made us feel like family. If you’re ever in Jamaica, do yourself a favor and book with Devon. You’ll be well taken care of and leave with unforgettable memories. Thank you again, Devon—you made our trip extra special!

Bamboo Rafting - The rafting was a lovely experience. Gently gliding down the river with a refreshing swim at the end. Captain Beckham was the best. And our driver Devon was the friendliest most accommodating you will ever find. Top notch.

100% exactly what we were looking for and more - Our family and friends all had a wonderful time on our small privately guided bamboo raft tour. Devon organized everything for us prior to our trip and he was also our driver and tour guide. He is very friendly, and charming and a true man of his word. The price we paid was perfect for what was advertised and for what Devon delivered on the excursion. A sincere “Job well done” to Devon and Island Drive Tours! Keep up the good work, Clay L.

This is the best!! - Devon was extraordinary! he went way above and beyond and he was the kindest person you could meet. he took great care of us and I was so happy to meet him! he is very communicative, has a lovely and clean car with crisp air conditioning (which was great since it was so hot outside) and he made our experience 100x better. I’d recommend him to anyone who ever goes to Jamaica, you won’t regret it!

Book this NOW!!! Amazing - If you are thinking of booking this - just book it! Devon was great with communication - very responsive! Thank you Devon! He was early to pick up our group and was eager to tell us all about “his home and culture” the bamboo raft tour was so much fun , so much energy and beautiful. So chill and relaxing- ladies got sandstone foot rub and guys an ice cold red stripe beer. We went to a local fruit stand to sample Jack fruits , papayas and Otaheite apples that were delicious. Ended the tour at a local beautiful beach next to the cruise port and Devon introduced us to Earl who took great care of us at the beach. Highly recommend this tour and Devon keep smiling !

10/10 River Rafting Excursion!!! - This excursion was the BEST! Pick up from the cruise port was easy and Devon communicated exactly where to meet him. During our ride, he explained the history and the stories behind the different neighborhoods we drove through. When we made it to the river, he connected us with our river guide and we were off on our raft. We got to play our own music as we floated along. The massage and rum punch was AMAZING! Definitely recommend Island Drive Tours for your next Ocho Rios excursion!

wonderful people,... - wonderful people, beautiful views! convenient service in terms of pick up and drop off. our raft tour guide was great. I will say, the raft tour wasn't super long, but well worth the money. FYI the beach they end at is more of a pebble beach, not sand, and there are a lot of vendors in case that's something you're not comfortable with. great for souvenirs though. they also only just massage your feet, not your whole leg. but 10/10 for me and my parents.
