Re: Dunn's River Falls By Catamaran Party Cruise Excursion From Montego Bay

Mar 9, 2024

Our driver was great. He stopped a few places that we asked him to stop at on the way to the boat from Montego Bay. The day we went out it was very windy but that isn’t something that was your fault by any means. Nobody can control mother nature! That being said, the snorkeling was pretty challenging with the waves and current. The falls were awesome besides some guide with a group behind us that was a real asshole. Y’all’s people were great though! The way back to the dock after the falls was really fun. Wish it would have lasted longer but while it lasted it was fun! Everything that your company provided for us was great! We got to see the whole coast with a driver that told us about the whole area on the way. It was a great experience for the family.

Thanks,
Colin S

Re: Dunn’s River Falls By Catamaran Party Cruise from Montego Bay

My cousin did this excursion 3 years ago and spoke very highly about her experience so when we visited Jamaica this was a must to do on my list and she was right! This was just the best party cruise ever. The crew was fun, the snorkeling was great, the climb of the falls was very special, the whole experience was just great. I have no complaints and would do it all over again.

Yes I highly recommend this excursion.

Good Afternoon Dwight,

Hope you are doing well.

Uton once again was absolutely fantastic! He was friendly and was determined to ensure we had an enjoyable experience. We felt safe and taken care of and for 5 girls that was extremely important!

The excursion package we selected was great! Lots of variety and lots of fun for our whole group. I personally have done this exact excursion through the hotel two years ago (since we were only a party of two) and in comparison – Karandas provided us more comfort and flexibility. We didn’t feel like it was a drag or an inconvenience in any way. We got to pick and choose where we wanted to stop, take pictures, eat, shop etc.

Uton really made the experience comfortable, accommodating and customized to our needs.

We definitely prefer doing our excursions with Karandas Tours because of the private and personal experience. We were able to enjoy the day without waiting for others and making “what sometimes feels like” 100 stops along the way.

This is our second time booking with you and we have been utterly impressed with the customer service and professionalism from the management and drivers.

Keep up the great work!

Our driver, Sheldon, was great!!! He was very nice and knowledgeable! He made sure we got to our excursion on time, all while still making us feel safe… He was a great driver, and an all around good person!!! We will definitely be using your company for our next trip!

Hi Dwight,

I believe our driver’s name was Mr. Rudy (please forgive me if I am incorrect, as we had a few drivers during our time in Jamaica). Mr. Rudy was nothing short of a pleasure to work with. He was fantastic, and I cannot emphasize that enough. He arrived at our resort in plenty enough time, and was kind enough to wait on other individuals in our party to arrive in the resort lobby (which we understand can be a frustration when given strict timelines). We had a very large travel group; 13 people total, 11 of which were originally scheduled to attend the tour. Prior to departure from the hotel, the final two individuals decided to also attend! Mr. Rudy was kind enough to make sure that the tour/excursion would be able to accompany them, and we were well on our way! The drive from Mo’Bay to Ocho Rios was beautiful and fun. One of the members of our group conversed with Mr. Rudy the entire time! We still arrived at the beach with time to spare prior to boarding the party boat. Everyone had a great time on the party boat, and the staff was phenomenal. Everyone was so kind, and fun. We had a great time. Those who snorkeled thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Boarding the boat was seamless each time, and there were always gentlemen present to help people on/off.

We all enjoyed climbing to the top of Dunn’s River (with no injuries!). The staff there were also very kind, helpful, and energetic, making for an even more enjoyable excursion.

I think our group had the most fun on the party cruise back to the beach. Once again, the staff were fun and energetic. We thoroughly enjoyed the rum punch and beef patties. Our group danced with the staff, laughed and joked, etc. I think we were all a little sad when it was over.

Mr. Rudy was there to pick us up once our excursion came to the end. We asked about local souvenir shops, and he was kind enough to take us to one so that everyone who wanted souvenirs could purchase them (everyone was able to get something they’d wanted). While on the way back to our resort in Montego Bay, our group realized that we would not make our 7:00 pm dinner reservation (this was our own fault as we should have made the reservation for 8:30 pm). Mr. Rudy kindly took us to Scotchie’s and waited for all 13 of us to get our food (which was amazing, by the way), and finally we were dropped back off at our resort for the night.

I would 100% recommend Karandas Tours Ltd. to anyone traveling to Jamaica. I know that there was a bit of back and forth initially between you and me with booking the trip, but I cannot stress enough how much I appreciate you all’s patience and swift, accurate responses to my emails and/or phone calls.

I look forward to booking excursions through Karandas Tours in the future! Thank you all for making our trip to Jamaica all the more memorable.

Hi!

We had a great time! Our driver arrived on time and got us there and back safely. He had drinks for us and allowed us to stop on the way back to our hotel for food which we REALLY appreciated. I don’t really have any complaints.

Thanks!!!

Dear Dwight, Karandas Tours, and Cool Runnings,

Thank you for a great afternoon last Tuesday! My group had a blast! Thank you for all your help organizing, I will recommend your services to anyone who travels to Jamaica in the future!

Best,

Hello,

I loved our driver Dexter! I wasn’t feeling too great on the way and he made sure I was comfortable. He was a great help and very polite. He also showed us and told us some history on the way. Great driver!

Brittnay M

Good afternoon,

I don’t know where to begin! Sheldon was the absolute best! He was knowledgeable about the attractions and answered questions about every location on our route to the party boat. We had a great ride to and from our excursion. His personality was amazing! He kept us laughing the entire trip.

Our driver for to and from the Dunn’s River Excursion was wonderful. Sheldon was polite upon arrival, he greeted everyone with a smile and helped up on the bus. While driving to Ocho Rios from Montego Bay he pointed out different sites and gave us some back history on them. It was a nice ride. Sheldon made sure everyone had the water shoes that was required and even stopped at a store for the individuals that didn’t have any to buy some. The excursion was wonderful and lots of fun. On the way back to the hotel we stopped again to do some shopping in which he went in with everyone and guided us around. We felt safe and important. I have nothing but respect for Sheldon, he is an awesome driver with a wonderful personality. he was fun, wise, respectful, polite and we had an awesome time with him.

Hi Dwight,

First let me say THANK YOU!!! You and your staff were beyond wonderful!! We all had a fantastic time on the Dunn’s River Falls Catamaran Party Cruise.

I have to say this was a highlight of our vacation! We will definitely be in contact when we return to Jamaica in the future and I will recommend your services to others.

Until next time,

Dexter was our driver and he was great. He talked a lot about the area on the way to the excursion. He got us everywhere on time. The Cool Runnings trip was great and the entire group loved the boat, crew, snorkeling, and the falls.

Thank you for the great time we had at the Dunn River Falls, it was better than expected. We were picked up at our hotel by Rudolf (Rudy) on time and he was one of the friendliest drivers. We stopped at a few shops on the way to, and also on the return trip. Made the trip extra special. Once again, thank you

Iron was our driver back. He was excellent. The whole family loved him. The Catamaran was the highlight for our whole Jamaica trip. The DJ, Party Girls, and Crew Members were extremely friendly and knew how to keep the party going. Everyone was dancing and having a fantastic time. Even our 73 year old grandma had a blast on the boat. Thanks for the experience!

The crew was very accommodating and entertaining.. Our kids loved dancing with the girls. The food was delicious. The guides helped at the FAlls for those who climbed and those who did the steps. Maureen asked if they overly asked for tips, but only at the end of the trip was it mentioned. They did try to sell shirts and hats but that was o.k. Our bus driver made a special effort to get us back as we got late somehow, All in all, it was a very special day for us and we appreciate all the excellent service. Thank you, Ethel Zale

Dwight

I cannot say enough about our driver! He was awesome! Very personable and knowledgeable gentleman. He was on time picking us up and share all kinds of information with us about Jamaica. He stayed by our side while we did some shopping and helped me purchase a ring. We were so glad we booked a driver and not a car for us. The drivers in Ochos Rios are CRAZY and our driver kept us safe and in one piece.

The catamaran to Dunn’s Falls and back was great. Marlin took great care of us! The music and people we amazing! We have already told everyone if they go to Jamaica to book this tour through you. We booked another tour through the Viator website and it was awful! Lesson learned there unfortunately.

Thanks for the assistance in booking our tour!

Happy New Year

Our tour was FANTASTIC!! Everyone in our group had an amazing time. Our driver Anthony was great. Very entertaining, informational and accommodating to our wishes. I would definitely recommend your company for any excursion. Thank you so much for all of your assistance in getting this great experience booked!!!! Can’t wait until my next visit to your beautiful country.
