Loved this experience.... - Loved this experience. Unfortunately, I don't remember the name of our guide, but he was great! Would gladly book it again on another visit to Jamaica :)

Beautiful tour - I can begin to tell you the how good the service was. Clean, very helpful, and extremely friendly. Our tour guide Shavon was amazing.

Bamboo Rafting, horse back riding - They were incredible, from the moment we booked the tour. The guide was wonderful, they made our experience more amazing than we could have imagined. Dean Paul was the best. If you are in Jamaica and want to make moments of a lifetime definitely use Taste of Tropics. WE WILL BE BACK SOON!

One love! - The bamboo rafting experience was everything with the lower body massage. The scenery along the river was nice and the guide on the raft was extremely attentive. Our guide Shaon was so polite and helpful. Loved every minute of it.

A Great Excursion / Experience - We had a great time on our Rafting excursion. The service was great, the people were friendly and nice. Our guide Chevonn(sp) was excellent , he showed us around and gave us a brief synopsis of the history and areas. I would definitely recommend this service to anyone interested in this adventure. They deserve as many stars as possible an Excellent experience .

Truly An Amazing Tour!!! - This was an amazing experience, not only did we do the Bamboo rafting but we did the Horses back ride and swim. Our driver Mr. Robinson was the perfect tour guide. He made our day In Ocho Rios. I cannot wait to come back next year for another great experience.

Wonderful experience - Bamboo rafting was so much fun our tour guide stayed there entire time and made sure we ate some great food.

I wouldn’t book with anyone else ! - This was my first time able to explore Jamaica and there is no way my friends and I would have been able to do it with Shavon. He was patient, attentive, and so kind to each and every one of us and our needs. If we needed to detour he made it happen, if we didn’t really know what to do next he was there with the perfect recommendation. Due to culture differences Shavon spoke on our behalf a lot of times and not once did he make us feel sketchy or unable to trust him. BOOK WITH SHAVON!!

Watch out for scams - Nice day but we are told that we will have the best prices for our purchases and finally it is a total scam. Back at the hotel we found the same products at half price! Very friendly driver but to have us better... In short, if I have one piece of advice, check the value of your products beforehand.

Interesting experience but much shorter than we anticipated - As a part of our day in Ocho Rios while cruising aboard Sky Princess, we had a planned tour to ride on a bamboo raft on White river. We got off the ship at 8:55 for our 9am tour and waited for over half an hour for our driver Shavaon to arrive. We were in the car ~9:35 when all other tour buses and minivans already departed. After ~15 minutes we were at the river. Rafts are made of green bamboo logs, ~ 40-45 feet long and about 4-5 feet wide, with a chair that fits 2-3 people in the back. Jamaican guy pushes the raft standing in the front. The river is hardly wider than the length of the raft - less than 100 feet for certain. Muddy banks are lined with tropical trees and backyards of assorted shacks. Our “captain” Sappy pushed the raft 300-400 yards up the river and pulled up to shore at a “chill out spot”. This was a group of 4-5 shacks mage of bamboo sticks and covered in blue tarp. One was selling souvenirs, another beer and snacks, another one was sort of a restaurant. We bought a couple of souvenirs for $10, a couple of bottles of “Red stripe” beer - $5 each, and our daughter took 15-20 swings on a tire swing over the river - another $10. We then sailed down the river, past the boarding dock and for another 300-400 yards to river estuary - ocean sandbar. We then returned back to dock upriver. Total journey was barely one hour. Our driver took us then to Bay beach. Total tour time was less than two hours. Cost us $75x3 + $20x2 tips + $30 swing tire+souvenirs+beer. Total pleasure cost us $295 and I felt that this was a ripoff. If other Jamaican experiences have similar cost/value I am not interested in coming back to see them.
