Great time! - We had a great experience with Lashawn on our Shore Excursion. Lashawn made sure we had a great time tubing on the river and we wrapped up our day at the Bamboo Beach club relaxing under a palm tree with food and drinks.

Best Time Ever - Absolutely loved it & enjoyed ourselves. This was a great option for us since we were only visiting for a few hours because we came to Ocho Rios by a cruise ship. The whole process was easy...from booking to being picked up at the port & back to the port for drop off. The tubing experience was so much fun. Our guide in the water was such a sweetheart. It was only 3 of us but he did a good job with guiding us. I also loved that fact that we had the same driver all day. We were able to leave our belongings in the shuttle while we went down the river & we waited while we were at the next location. The beach club was cool. I loved that a meal & few cocktails was included with the excursion. We basically sat around & enjoyed the atmosphere. Our driver Koby was awesome. The drive to & from was an event to. It was about a 45 min drive but I loved the sites so it was no issue. I know Koby wasn't expecting the pure entertainment he got from us though. I appreciate the small talk & him answering our questions about the area. We are definitely planning on coming back to area & will be using Viator again for all our excursion needs. A time was had in Ocho Rios.

Nice river float, rest was ok - The rafting was quite fun and the scenery was beautiful. The lunch afterwards was good but the beach was so so. There was confusion about pick up times from the cruise terminal and we got there an hour early but others from our ship got there over 2 hours early as they were told. There was also quite a drive to the river which I hadn't expected but it was interesting to see the rest of the island. There was a young lady that gave the tour and she was somewhat knowledgeable as an intern but not a fount of information. The river guide was great and he did a good job of keeping us safe. All in all, we thought it was a fun excursion but not one we need to repeat.

Great for people looking for a mild adventure. - It was fun because we were on vacation, but As 4 adult travelers tubing was a bit mild and not as adventurous as we thought it would be…. However our tubing Expert made it super fun and had us all entertained so it was worth it.

The river tubing itself... - The river tubing itself was great. Our tour guide and the van ride to the Rio Grande was great. But, the tour was short (less than 30 minutes down the river) and we ended and went straight to the Bamboo Club. The food was OK. The drinks were extremely sweet. Personally, I think it was overpriced per person.

Frustration - The tube activity is amazing. The beach part, on the other hand, is not good at all. The drinks - alcoholic or not - are terrible, so is the food.

Enjoyed most of trip but tubing time was shorter then advertised. - Pros: friendly driver Koby, firendly hostess Amaya. 4 course meal is filling and the beach was nice. Rio Bueno is beautiful.
Cons: tubing was advertised as 1hr and 25 min. Only got to stay on river for 30 mins before being rushed. I inform river tour person our trip was to Caribbean Sea but no remedy. Very disappointed

You can do much better - The beach was average. Drinks were good. Food was run-of-the-mil. I had to ask to get a fork though and napkins were nonexistent. The drink mixing portion was poor,, make that "pour,pour, pour"ugh.
The topper (and why I wrote this) was the bus ride back to the Boat. Tammy had people get out their cellphone and told them to give her 5 stars on this very app. "because she earned it". She literally sat over people and watched over them to make sure the review was what she wanted.
You've been warned...
