Highlights
  • Turtle River Park - Turtle River Park is a beautiful attraction. Until recent years the land (which spans over 3 hectares) was used to be a bus park until the Urban Development Corporation (UDC) slated it for redevelopment.

The UDC decided that the most beneficial use for the land would be a public park, a use befitting St Ann Parish’s nickname of “The Garden Parish”. Turtle River Park was opened by Prime Minister P J Patterson on 18 June 2004. The Park is frequented by tourists and members of the Ocho Rios community, seeking a moment of tranquility away from working life.

The park features flower beds, gazeboes, a concert pavilion and a concession selling snacks. There is also a parking lot adjoining the park.

Blue Hole and Dunn’s River Falls - Winston was absolutely amazing. He told stories and jokes that kept my family entertained. He was kind and got us to both destinations safely. I would use him again.

Winston Gayle is the absolute best! - This experience was amazing! Winston Gayle was beyond incredible. We are Canadians and very worried about our safety when travelling abroad. We were nothing but safe with him. In fact he even gave us tips and tricks about what to do/not to do to ensure full safety while in Jamaica. Winston was recommended to us by multiple friends and it was a fantastic decision. He is extremely reliable, informative, genuine, and flexible to all of your wishes and needs . Booking with Winston saved us a ton of money rather than booking through the resort and he taught us much more than a resort guide would. If you want 100% safety, to save tons of money, and a much better experience, I promise you need to book through Winston. We will 100% use Winston every time we are in Jamaica. Please use Winston so you know you’re safe and in great hands!

Experience the natural beauty of Ocho Rios - I’m keen to write this review, first because Winston and Higgins were delightful and key to us enjoying our experience in Ocho Rios, but secondly because it may help someone plan their trip to Jamaica. I know I wish I had more recent resources while booking everything. Everything I came across was so dated, so may my experience help you reading this right now in making your planning easier. For context, I love traveling and am happiest exploring the great unknown. I wanted to rent a car and road warrior my way through Jamaica. My girlfriend is a bigger fan of safety and comfort. I’d say our biggest conflict in planning Jamaica was how to get around. Rent a car? Or setup private transport. Boy am I glad I went the way of a private tour and booking this tour with Winston. It’s nice to just take the guess work out of getting around and relying on your local guides who know exactly how to navigate the area. Getting to the Blue Hole is not the easiest route. Traffic is OK compared to other parts of the world, but you are driving up a mountain to the Blue Hole on less than stellar roads. With the twists and turns, I’m glad I didn’t have to manage that myself. From there, we were driven to the Dunns Rivers falls where you can pretty much elect to stay there as long as you like. This is a much easier area to get to but the private transport is still nice. The two biggest benefits aside from navigation for this private tour are a) parking and b) storage. Had I rented a car, I’m not necessarily sure I could have parked at either Blue Hole or Dunns Rivers as it is all setup for tourist busses. Maybe it’s not an issue, but I will add I saw no personal cars. The storage was also clutch. Both locations have lockers you can rent, but it was so easy to leave our belongings in the tour bus knowing Higgins was there. With pickup and dropoff available from your hotel, this no doubt has to be the most convenient way to get around Ocho Rios. Notice I do not get too much into the attractions themselves as what you are paying for is mostly the transportation. Your driver will interface with your guide at Blue Hole but Dunns River is a larger operation and a bit more of a free for all. You will have to coordinate your own guide there if you like, but it’s simple to get around there on your own. Both sights were spectacular and a ton of fun. Blue Hole is all about jumping off cliffs, so if that’s not your jam, feel free to skip this one. Dunns River is impressive as it begins on the beach and you can climb all the way up. This whole area is a bit Disney-fied complete with additional attractions like zip lining and food court etc. All in all, I am glad I spent the money on private transport instead of renting a car considering the costs are relatively equal anyways. You will be happy to kick back, relax, adventure, and let Winston and his team take care of the hard part for you. Keep it irie

Excellent safe choice for your travel in Jamaica - Highly recommend Winston to take you around. He is available on Whatsapp(876-771-0363). He is kind ,courteous and very safe driver. His van is very clean and very spacious for our family of 4. He took us to a shopping center and helped us find a guide. Highly recommend taking a private tour with Winston to the Blue hole and Dunns river instead of joining a tour.

Ocho Rios Tour - We enjoyed our first trip touring Downtown Ocho Rios, Dunns Rivers, and Blue Hole with Tour Jamaica Today as we found it an entertaining and trustworthy company. Sincerest thanks to Winston for making our full-day tour one of the highlights of our trip to Jamaica. The tour was delightful as the views on this trip are breath taking. We thiroughly enjoyed climbing Dunns Falls. The pickup from the resort was on time and we were met with a warm greeting and run down of the day. If you plan a trip to Jamaica and need a driver, Winston is the driver for you. He is honest, fun, and knowledgeable. Winston takes pride in his job and cares about his customers. He handled all of the logistics smoothly so that all we had to do was enjoy the varied and beautiful island. We will remember, draw upon, and cherish this trip for many years.
