Awesome excursion with great tour guide - Devon from Island Drive Tours was amazing. He took care of my family as we were his own. He set us up with a great bamboo boat driver, Flowers. Limestone massage was amazing. After the bamboo boat ride, he took us to a fruit stand to experience the amazing local fruits from the island. This is a must do in Jamaica with a great tour guide.
