Everyone we interacted with throughout the excursion was extremely nice, knowledgeable, and made the excursion as enjoyable as we were hoping it would be! Our driver was full of information about the island, culture, and the people (Which we loved to hear about) and also gave us tips to ensure we enjoyed the falls to the fullest.

Much thanks and we look forward to our next trip to Jamaica.

My girlfriend and I arrived in Ocho Rios by cruise ship on 4/3/18. We were met by Dwight on time, as promised.The van was pretty full of guests going on other excursions and rather than losing time on our tour while he dropped everyone else off, he pulled us off the van and put us on another with a driver names Kenneth (Kenny). We had the van to ourselves and Kenny was the nicest and friendliest person. He made our tour very memorable. He was very proud to be Jamaican and told us all about his country, people and heritage. He drove us to each of our excursions and waited for us while we enjoyed them. He was ours for the day !! We would definitely recommend Dwight Soares and Excursions in Ocho Rios. I only have one bad thing to say about our tour at Dunn’s River Falls, but it has nothing to do with Dwight or his tour group. Watch out for the sales people as you’re walking in and out of the park. They come across very nice, but pushy. They want to show you the “Jamaican handshake” and offer you “free gifts” and ask you your names and before you know it, they’ve carved your name on some little wooden statues and placed a “free” necklace around your neck. They then extort money from you. Just be kind, say no thank you and keep moving !! Bring water shoes with you to the falls!!!

Hello Dwight,
My husband and I wanted to let you know how wonderful our excursion was in Ocho Rios! This was my second time booking a trip through your business and both times have been even better than expected. This trip we booked the zip-lining/Dunn’s River Falls excursion and it literally was the highlight of our cruise! Davion was our driver and he was so great from start to finish. It was so nice that we had our own driver for the excursion as well since we saw most of the other cruisers waiting around a lot while we were able to get off right away to have fun! We really enjoyed our time zip-lining as this was the first time for both of us. While we were zipping Davion was kind enough to use my phone to take pictures/videos of us. We were so glad he was willing to capture those memories for us! We then went to Dunn’s River Falls and had such a great time climbing the falls. Davion got us right in and then let us enjoy our time there and was right outside waiting for us when we were finished.
We just wanted to say thank you for running such a great local business – anytime we are back in Jamaica we will be booking excursions through you! I’ll also be recommending your business to any friends I know who are traveling to your beautiful country.
Thanks again!

Steve our driver navigated the roads well and made sure we knew what to expect on our excursions. The Zipline excursion was amazing, and the staff was more than kind and made sure we felt safe and secure in our travels. The Dunn’s River Falls was a wonderful experience, and Steve met us on time at the end of our excursion to take us home.

Thank you

They did a great job, we enjoyed all aspects of the excursion. They were friendly and hospitable.

We very much enjoyed our excursions! The service was amazing. The drivers were friendly and knowledgeable.

We had an awesome experience! We loved our driver–he was very sweet and talked to us all about Jamaica, we really enjoyed him. We had a ton of fun on the zip lines and the swing and everyone who helped us was awesome!

Dwight:

We came back from our cruise yesterday. I just wanted to say, thank you for arranging the tours. It was pleasure working with you and your team. Everyone had a great time, except that the time was short, primarily because our group was large. Vehicles were neat and clean, drivers were very nice and professional, and complementary water helped a lot. Once again, thanks you.

Regards,

Dearest Dwight,

We had a grand time in Jamaica…. from beginning to end. I was a bit worried when I found out that MSC changed the port of arrival to Ocho Rio. I was glad to be able to get a message to you prior to our arrival. I again got a bit nervous upon departing the ship and not being able to locate the driver… but it all worked out in the end. Our driver (Willy) was great. I rode in the passenger seat for the entire trip and felt completely safe as we sped up the mountain to the zip line facility. My friends in the back were a bit more concerned with the narrow streets and sharp turns. The Zip Line was terrific. The young men who guided us were extremely professional and we all had a great time. Willy took us to Dunns River Falls… I think my friends enjoyed that even more than the Zip Line. It was crowded at the falls… but that did not seem to deter them. I, however, preferred the Zip Line… probably because of the personal nature of the experience. It was just the five of us… away from the crowds of the ship passenger’s. It was the personal touch that made the excursion very memorable.

Thank you

The excursion was fun.

Thanks for everything.

Hello,

Robert was our driver/guide on our April 30th excursion. There was a delay in the morning due to some car alarm problems, but besides that we had a great outing. Robert was an excellent guide and gave us a lot of interesting information about the area while we were driving around. I would definitely recommend him for future excursions!

Thanks,

We had a wonderful time and will highly recommend it to our friends! On March 18th, Our driver and guide was so helpful and knowledgeable of the area and spent time showing us the vegetation, fruit, and plants on our way to excursions. The Zipline Manager and staff were so professional and thorough in taking every effort to insure our safety. The Dunn River Falls was definitely a sight to see! It was great cooling off in the waters after the ziplining. The climbing and hiking was great exercise!

Sincerely,

It was excellent. Thank you so very much for the hospitality and wonderful service.

Good Afternoon Dwight,

Sorry for not responding sooner but it’s been kinda busy upon my return to work (yuk).

My apology for not remembering our excursion drivers name, but I must say how delightful it was to tour with such a nice guy who was so knowledgeable & great to spend time with. He looked after us really well. I believe he is real asset to your company. I will recommend your tour to all that plan to travel & already have actually. Out of 10 being excellent, I would give the tour a 10 out of 10.

I think we will be coming back to Jamaica next year for a holiday & will touch base with you about other tours then. Please email his name so that I can keep it on file.

Once again, thank you so much for arranging such a wonderful tour & please pass on my comments to our tour guide.

Have a super weekend!

Hello Dwight,

I wanted to let you know that the excursion we took with your company on April 24, 2013 to Zip Line and the Dunns River Falls was one of the best experiences my family has ever had. From start to finish, everything was superb! Getting picked up in the morning as we cluelessly fumbled our way through that chaos off the Carnival Breeze, to the friendly, knowledgeable and crazy bus driving experience up that mountain, to the beautiful zip lining location and incredible staff that made the whole experience delightful and carefree. And the amazing Dunns River Falls still has me awe struck. Even the other 6 people that joined our trip became like family the rest of the week because this trip was so wonderful. It was magical from start to finish and I can’t wait to see you again our next visit to Jamaica!

Cheers to your staff! Thank you for an unforgettable day!

We really enjoyed our tour in Jamaica. Our driver, Willie, was great. He really looked out for us and made sure we got to where we needed to be on time and picked us up promptly. The zip lining at H’Evans Scent was very fun. Mr. Evans and his crew did a wonderful job there. The Dunn’s River Falls was a lot of fun and we appreciated that Willie led us to the Falls personally and was waiting patiently even though we took a few minutes longer than expected. I would recommend Karandas Tours to others arriving off of a cruise ship to avoid the herding experience most ships offer.

We definitely enjoyed our driver, Uton. He knew the island, gave us plenty of historical facts, answered all our questions and drove safely in what seemed to be a difficult island to manuever. We would recommend this tour to anyone coming off of a cruise ship. Thank you for making the arrangements. We also enjoyed the zip line company that you chose, they really made our family feel welcome and safe.

Dear Dwight,

We really enjoyed our tour with you. The driver was very friendly and engaged. He was very informative and made us feel very comfortable. The people at the zip line were very encouraging to both my wife and I and helped us successfully get out of our comfort zone and take in the excitement of doing all of the zip lines. Everyone was very professional and very supportive. We would recommend your tours to anyone going to Jamaica.
