Driver did a great job!

Thank you

Hi,
it was a great tour and we had lots of fun!!

We was very satisfy with everything! Thank so much.

Hi Dwight,

Everything for our excursions was a 5 star. The driver was fantastic and the tour was very good.

Hi!
We just wanted to let you know that our Blue Hole/Secret Falls/Tubing excursion was great! Dwight, Little T, and Dwight made our excursion very memorable. Thank you for top notch service and for safety, and the safe guarding of our possessions while enjoying Jamaica! We will definitely use this company again!

Dwight- We loved our experience in Jamaica! You have a beautiful country. The tours were great, and we very much appreciate that our driver for the Blue Hole excursion paid our way until we could reimburse him on our return to the hotel!! Plus, taking care of our lunch was a very nice gesture we won’t forget. Thank-you for everything and we will recommend Jamaica and your tour group!

We had an absolutely wonderful excursion. It was our favorite part of our entire trip! Robert was a great, funny, and knowledgeable driver- we really enjoyed riding and listening to his commentary. Little T was a great guide at the blue hole! He was really fun and made the blue hole even better than it already was. I can’t remember the guides’ names at Calypso rafting but they were also really good.

Thank you Dwight,

We enjoyed everything you provided. We loved Little T. The only thing we did not care for, and not your problem, was the time it took to get out of the parking lot. They need to get a better system.

Out of all the other excursions we did on the other island’s we liked your tour the best.

Professional, you guys looked out for us and made sure we kept moving in order to see everything and got us back to the ship on time.

I wish that the van, the excursion locations had played Jamaican music to remind you of where you are.

Thank you again.

I will recommend you to anyone I hear going to Jamaica to use you guys.

Hi Dwight,
This was one of the best excursions we have ever been on. Both guides were outstanding. The driver was very informative and nice. 5 stars all the way around. If we come back to Jamaica, I would book all of my excursions through your group!

Thanks again.

Hello Dwight and Maureen
Thanks, both and your team for making our stay and excursions safe and enjoyable. You have indeed recruited a knowledgeable and friendly team that makes vacation dreams come true in a foreign land.
Our trip to Blue hole was wonderful. Thanks for sharing these treasures of Jamaica with us. The kids especially had great fun with your hand-picked tour guides, who were clearly working hard to make us all have a wonderful time.
Needless to say, we will heavily recommend my friends and colleagues when they make plans to visit your beautiful island
Thanks again and wishing you all the best

Our driver, Robert was fantastic! He was very informative! My family and I felt very safe with him!!! He does a great job!!! So glad I was referred to this company!! Would recommend your company to any of my friends and family!! We had a great time in Jamaica! Thank-you!!!!

Our excursion to the Blue Hole and secret falls was awesome. Our driver was wonderful, I’m sorry I don’t remember his name. Our guide, Riley, for the falls was so helpful and just wonderful. Our guide, Jack, for the tubing was awesome as well. We will recommend your tour company for sure. Thanks for a great experience!!
Lisa D

The Blue Hole, Secret Falls, and River Tubing tour exceed our expectations!! The actual activities were fabulous and very memorable! My whole family loved it! The guide & driver were also both excellent as well as the Blue Hole Escort and River Tubing guides. I highly recommend this excursion with Excursions in Jamaica!! On to p of all that it was half the price of going with a cruise line excursion!! Thanks!!

We had an exceptional time! Everyone was beyond our expectations. The driver was very informative, friendly and helpful. All of our guides treated us very well.

We did have a little difficulty getting to the bus. I was very nervous that we were in the wrong place and/or going to end on the wrong excursion. The driver ending up explaining exactly where we were going before we left which set our mind at ease. But there was a very stressful time before that.

All in all, it was a very good experience. I would not hesitate to use your services again.

Dwight,
I can’t say enough good things about our experience with Karandas Tours in Ocho Rios on Nov. 22! Our driver was Robert and he was awesome! He was friendly and informative, even stopped so we could eat on the way back to the cruise ship (and waited for a long time without complaint while we waited for our food.) The guides that we had at Blue Hole and the River Tubing were great as well – lots of attention from them to make sure we had fun and stayed safe. We all agreed this day trip was our favorite part of our cruise and would definitely do it again! When we come back to Jamaica, we will definitely use Karandas Tours again. Thanks for giving us some great memories!
Sincerely,

Everything was perfect.. will definitely encourage others to book here!
Thanks

The excursion of secret falls, blue hole and tubing was absolutely amazing. The guides were very helpful and nice. I had a hurt foot and they made sure to help me get through everything. There are no words to describe how beautiful this area is. Lots of fun too. My husband really enjoyed all the jumping/diving points.

The only things I wish I would have known is that there were multiple guides and about the cove area. We only brought the amount of money we thought we needed so our tip money got split between them. I would have liked to tip them more. I would have also liked to spend some at the cove.

Hi Dwight,

Thank you so much for such a great excursion today! We made memories that our family will never forget!!

Good Morning,

Our tour was absolutely amazing. We had a wonderful driver who wanted to inform us of the culture of Jamaica which was great to learn about. He drove very efficiently and safely. At the Blue Hole we had the AMAZING Captain Alex who took great care of us. He was very helpful, took many pictures, and he allowed us to take our time and really soak up beautiful Jamaica.

First of all, I’d like to thank our driver “Willie”…he gave us so much information about Jamaica…was very helpful. …@ the Blue Hole our guide Thajae ,aka Lil T, was the BEST. ..please thank him for his expertise. .my wife had a wonderful time…and what can I say about Dwight at the river tubing, he’s the BOMB. ..very funny and my family and I enjoyed his singing and jokes. ..lol….had a great experience, that was our 2nd time in Jamaica and by far our funniest time….thank you to you and your services. ..very professional. ..I will be booking through you AGAIN. ..definitely. .Ya mon!..THANK YOU again.

Our driver Donald was wonderful. Thanks.

Hi Dwight

Our tour guide Willie was fantastic. He went above and beyond to make sure our excursion was fantastic and his knowledge of the island and the history of the country was amazing.

I would definitely use your company again and will not hesitate to recommend you to anyone traveling to Jamaica.

Thank you once again.

The tour was great all around, especially Troy at The Blue Hole.

They were all wonderful! The bus driver was funny and informative. The tour guides were amazing at the falls. Helping the little ones and not so little ones keep from getting hurt! I honestly don’t know how they did it.
The river cruise was relaxing and the guides sang fun songs!
Thanks so much, we would definitely do it again and refer our friends!

Hi Dwight,
We were very pleased with our tour on March 26th. The vehicles were so clean and the driver very nice and tidy. We really enjoyed our morning and his service. We asked him to take us to someplace to get wifi and he took us to a jeweler store that had cigars, liquor and souvenirs. He helped us get the wifi which was great. The rum however we found out after was significantly over priced. We paid $45 for a bottle of 12 year old premium rum when at Ocean 11 later we saw it for $23 or $28 (I can’t quite remember). So we felt a bit of “taken to the tourist trap”. But we didn’t let that stop us from having a good time. We appreciate the tour and service your team provided. I have written a positive review on Trip advisor for you as well.
Thank you,

Hey Dwight,
Sorry it took me so long to get back to you! We loved our excursion to the Blue Hole and Dunn’s River. Donald our driver was awesome!!! We are telling everyone we know how great he was! Our guides at the excursions were also great! Very professional and went above and beyond to accommodate us and make sure we were taken care of!

We hope to return one day and will definitely be booking with you again and recommend to other people to book through this company and have Donald as their driver!
Thanks for the great excursions!

Hi Dwight!
Our driver, whose name unfortunately escapes me, was great. He was courteous and patient and good humoured. There was confusion when we went to the shopping centre at the end of the excursion because some other members of the tour decided to leave and walk back to the pier without notifying the driver. The driver patiently tried to track them down and remained professional during this frustrating time. Actually the only negative of the tour was the other tour members; as they were all family/friends, we were made to feel by them as outcasts who had infringed upon their tour. It’s really unfortunate because as it turns out we are actually all Canadians!
Thank you so much for providing us with this once in a lifetime opportunity. We will use your services again if we are ever fortunate enough to return to Jamaica, and will refer you to acquaintances.
Warm Regards,

We had a fabulous time! Robert (our driver) was very nice, and our tour guide Ricardo was top notch! We were able to do so much one on one it was one of the best experiences we ever had! We will always book with you guys when we come to Jamaica! Thanks so much!!

We had a great time at the blue hole and tubing today and just wanted to put in a request to have Donald again as our driver if possible on Friday for the Dunn’s river and zip lining we have Booked. He was great!
Thanks!

My wife and I recently celebrated our 20th anniversary with your company on Feb 22. I would like to say thank you. This tour was fantastic. We started out at the blue hole for some swimming and diving and then went river tubing. Because there were a few on our bus that went to Dunn’s river instead of the tubing, the bus was a little late picking us up. This was not a big deal to us but you went the extra mile by treating us to a fantastic jerk chicken lunch. I wish I could remember the name of the place. Eric was an excellent driver and made sure all our needs were met. I would highly recommend you to anyone traveling to Ocho Rios. Thanks again.
Aaron D

Hi Dwight,
I haven’t heard back from all my clients but everyone who has reviewed really enjoyed the day.
Thank you so much. We will use your company anytime we come to Jamaica.
Sheryl W

We had an amazing time with a great guide and driver a credit to your company
Regards
Jason C

Good morning Dwight,
I would like to say that the excursion you provided was first class!!
The driver, Ryan or CJ?, was immaculately presented, extremely polite, funny and very accommodating with requirements of our group.
The guides at the Blue Hole were equally accommodating and very informative about the Blue Hole features.
The river tubing was extremely good fun and the guides were also very good.
Thank you for your services and I would have no problem in recommending your company to any one who should be calling to Jamaica.
Many thanks,
Gary W

The whole excursion was just amazing ! The cruise ship got to the port late and yet the driver was still there waiting for us . The location was magical laughed so much ! Thanks for everything

We loved our trip. Wrote a very positive review on TripAdvisor. Would strongly recommend and book again. Thank you so very much.

Dexter was great. Along with telling us some interesting facts about your country, he made it a point to keep us entertained. He did a wonderful job.

Thank you!

Colby G

Hi Dwight

Had a great morning . Very good driver and both guides at the falls and tubes were excellent . The driver even took us to Fern Gully because my wife was interested in plants .
All good

Dave

We had a fabulous time on this tour. Our driver was great. He spoke about things we saw along the way and answered our questions about Jamaica and its people. The transportation was clean and the driver navigated the roads very well. I would highly recommend this tour. Thanks again for helping to make our vacation a great one!

Laura C

Good Afternoon,

Possibly the best excursion we have ever been on! The Blue Hole was simply awesome! Our guide Robert for the ride, Larone at the Blue Hole, and guide Dwight on the River Tubing excursion were the BEST!!! Thank you guys for an unbelievable experience we will never forget!

Thank you,

Kevin

We had a fantastic time! The driver was great. He was very knowledgeable about the history of the country. We felt very safe driving with him.

The tour guides at the Blue Hole and river tubing were great as well!!! They did their best to make sure that we had a great time!

We will definitely be back to Jamaica and will book with you for any of our next excursions!

We appreciate you so much!

Thanks again!

Shannon H

We had a great experience, and out tour guide was great;)

Our day in Jamaica was fantastic! Eric Thomas, our driver, is to be highly recommended to anyone who will visit Ocho Rios. The guides for both river tubing and the Blue Hole were also very good and helped make our brief visit to your beautiful island a highlight of the cruise.

When we have an opportunity to return to Jamaica, you can be sure we will contact Excursions in Jamaica (Karandas Tours) again!

Have a wonderful day,
Cindy and Jeff B.

Sheldon was a lot of fun and he really seemed to care that we had a good time. My children really liked him and he made sure we felt safe and welcome.

I can’t say enough about how great the guides at the Blue Hole were as well. “Little T” and Marlon took great care of us. My 6 year old daughter was afraid to climb the falls but they scooped her up and carried her any time she was scared. They were very good with her and with my 70 year old mother in law. I will be sure to mention that on my review as well.

Thank you again for your help.

Mike

Thanks Dwight – we had a great tour. Your group was very helpful in making sure we could meet up with our friends who were stopping in Ocho Rios from their cruise ship. There was excellent coordination among several bus drivers (Uton, Michael, and Hewin). We had a fabulous day.

Thank you so much for our excursion to Blue Hole and river tubing. Our group of 39 LOVED it! Most of the group commented to me that Jamaica was their favorite cruise port because of how much fun this excursion was. The drivers were so friendly. The guides were amazing! They guides were so fun, both at Blue Hole and at the river. They got everyone singing songs coming down the river; they gave extra attention to those who needed it and made sure everyone was having a great time. I can’t say enough about how great the guides were. I will recommend Karandas Tours to everyone I know who is going to Jamaica. I know a couple who is honeymooning in Ochos Rios this spring and have already made the recommendation. Again, thank you for a day we’ll always remember! I hope to come back!

Hi,

Our driver Steve was great! He was knowledgeable and kind. We would recommend him to anyone. Daniel our tour guide at the Blue Holes was excellent and showed us a great time! The young man that took us on the inner tubes down the river was also very pleasant and a smart young man. I apologize for not remembering his name. it started with a K. The only minor complaint that i would have, would be finding our tour when we came off the ship. This was not as clear as we would of liked, but once we found it, the young lady was very nice and helpful. Overall it was great experience and the people of Jamaica are wonderful! Thank you.

We had an amazing time! Our guide was fun, nice and accommodating. We had a lot of fun on this excursion and have already recommended it to friends that will be on the island this summer. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Hi Dwight

I wanted to say thank you for organizing such a great excursion for our group! We had so much fun! and the blue hole is AMAZING!!!

I also wanted to say that Eric did an excellent job as our driver and guide. He was so nice and personable. We really enjoyed having him.

Thank you again!

Jennifer

We had a fantastic time on our excursion with Karandas Tours to the Blue Hole Falls! Our driver Eric went out of his way at the end to show us around the island and made our first time to Jamaica very special.

Ricardo was our tour guide at the Blue Hole. He went out of his way to make or experience special. He showed us first hand how to dive into the falls, swing on the ropes, and took special photos and videos of everything for us along the way. This is one if the most special excursions we’ve ever been on thanks to the tour guides!

My sister planned an excursion for the blue hole and I loved that excursion. Absolutely amazing experience!

I would definitely recommend your company to anyone I know travelling to Jamaica and I will definitely be a repeat customer when I do come back to Jamaica.

Thanks!

Ashley T

Hello,

We enjoyed our tour with your team.

There was a bit a wait and some confusion at the port when we first started in the morning. We were supposed to meet at 8:30am but I don’t think we met our driver until about 9am.

When we went to the Secret Falls, the guide was really good and did a good job showing us the falls. Sorry I forgot his name.

For the Tubing excursion, our guide was great as well. Sorry I forgot his name but I believe it started with Hall….. Something like that.

Thanks again for a great experience.

Regards,

Jarret

Robert was perfect. He showed up on time and was very upbeat. He was able to answer all questions that we had about the culture. He pointed out different things as we drove through town. We were very happy with him. We will book through you again the next time we are in Jamaica

Bradley M

Hi Dwight,

the driver for the blue hole & river tubing was on time and professional as well. he also enlightened us with his knowledge of plants and fruits and even discussed some topics about politics and resources. he was also made us feel very safe and secure about leaving our belongings in the car during the excursions.
we had a pleasant experience.

Thanks

Dear Dwight,

Thank you for all of your help and coordination with regard to our tour. I cannot even begin to tell you how unbelievable Michael was! Firstly, he was extremely prompt and professional when he arrived. He made sure everyone was comfortable and that no one had forgotten anything. He even made sure everyone remembered their water shoes and had all of their necessary items with them.

He was an EXCELLENT driver and everyone felt very safe during our journey. When we needed water, he was happy to find a place to stop and made sure we got everything we needed. He always kept us updated with how long it would take to get to the next place and about how long we would be there. We were able to leave all of our personal belongings in the van and knew that Michael was taking care of everything for us!

We are beyond thrilled with the level of service and the value of Karandas Tours. We will most definitely be booking with your company again should the opportunity arise and recommending you any friends who are heading your way!

Please give Michael our utmost thanks again and let him know that our journey wouldn’t have been as much fun without him.

Many thanks again for all of your help and professionalism! We feel that we most certainly got our money’s worth and wouldn’t have changed a thing, except maybe booking another tour the next day!

Robert was excellent! I want to come back and book him again. Friendly. Professional, and a true asset to your company.

The excursion was AMAZING! Our driver was perfect and i wish he could drive me everywhere i go when i return to Jamaica! He was very kind and gave us very interesting information about the island! Thank you so much for making this excursion one that i will never forget!

We had a wonderful time. Our guide at the blue hole was amazing. He let us take our time and enjoy every moment. He made us feel safe as well as able to jump, climb and swim. The white river tubing excursion was also wonderful. I will do it again the next time I’m in Jamaica.

Thanks for everything,

Hello, our driver was Steve. Very nice, very good, very friendly. We really enjoyed our tour with Steve. Steve answered all of our questions. He even took us to a favorite local restaurant at the end of our tour so we could enjoy some local Jamaican food.

Dwight,

We did have a wonderful time at the blue hole and river tubing.

Good Morning Dwight!

Our tour was thoroughly enjoyable! The bus driver was quite knowledgeable, safe, and accommodating. He made a quick convenience store stop for us on the way back as well.

Our guides at both the Blue Hole and at the river tubing were great as well. I cannot recall their names but both made our trip very enjoyable.

I would certainly recommend your services to other travellers and would be sure to contact you again for future needs.

Many Thanks

Hi

We did a tour with you on Monday to the Blue hole and we loved it!!

Our driver Ruddy was 1st class!! And really made IT special for us.

Hi Dwight!

We had a great experience in Jamaica. Our driver was Eric and he was excellent. He gave us some background information as we drove to our activities and answered any questions we had. He was willing to change up the schedule if needed and offer suggestions as well.

Thank you very much to all who were involved! We will be sure to pass along your contact information to family and friends.

Good afternoon:

I just wanted to write and let you know how much my wife and I enjoyed our experience using your company for two excursions during our visit to Ocho Rios, Jamaica.

In particular, our driver, Robert, was absolute joy and made the experience so much more enjoyable by teaching us many interesting facts about Jamaican culture, and stopping routinely to show us different trees, plants and landmarks along the way. I have to say, we really loved Robert. He was a great guy, very professional and kind, and we felt like he went out of his way to make sure my wife and I got everything we were looking for out of our excursions. He made sure we were matched with guides who allowed us to take our time and not be rushed, he took our photos and he even went out of his way to show us a hidden river — Rio Nueva — that really added a delightful experience to the trip.

We loved using your company — very affordable and absolutely trustworthy — and once again we really enjoyed our experience with Robert. We will certainly be recommending your company and Robert to friends and family who visit Jamaica.

Hello Dwight,

This was our first cruise, and to be honest, my expectations were very high. I want you to be assured that my experience with your company far exceeded the very high expectations that I had. Our experience in Jamaica was our favorite part of our trip. Uton (I believe this is our guide’s name. I apologize. I am bad with names.) was incredible. He was extremely informative about the area and the culture. He was courteous and just all around wonderful. He is certainly an asset to your company.

Every person that we encountered in Jamaica was just so warm and friendly. Our guides at the Blue Hole (Little T and Jullian) were amazing with my 8 year old daughter. They were always making sure she was safe. Our river rafting guides were also wonderful.

We cannot wait to come back to Jamaica and wouldn’t dream of using another company to tour with. I will be sure to recommend you to anyone planning to visit Jamaica. Thank you so much and I look forward to our next trip. Have a wonderful day!
