Nice river float, rest was ok - The rafting was quite fun and the scenery was beautiful. The lunch afterwards was good but the beach was so so. There was confusion about pick up times from the cruise terminal and we got there an hour early but others from our ship got there over 2 hours early as they were told. There was also quite a drive to the river which I hadn't expected but it was interesting to see the rest of the island. There was a young lady that gave the tour and she was somewhat knowledgeable as an intern but not a fount of information. The river guide was great and he did a good job of keeping us safe. All in all, we thought it was a fun excursion but not one we need to repeat.

Enjoyed most of trip but tubing time was shorter then advertised. - Pros: friendly driver Koby, firendly hostess Amaya. 4 course meal is filling and the beach was nice. Rio Bueno is beautiful.
Cons: tubing was advertised as 1hr and 25 min. Only got to stay on river for 30 mins before being rushed. I inform river tour person our trip was to Caribbean Sea but no remedy. Very disappointed

You can do much better - The beach was average. Drinks were good. Food was run-of-the-mil. I had to ask to get a fork though and napkins were nonexistent. The drink mixing portion was poor,, make that "pour,pour, pour"ugh.
The topper (and why I wrote this) was the bus ride back to the Boat. Tammy had people get out their cellphone and told them to give her 5 stars on this very app. "because she earned it". She literally sat over people and watched over them to make sure the review was what she wanted.
You've been warned...

Unsafe DO NOT Book - This trip is very misrepresented and I would encourage all to look elsewhere. We booked this as a family excursion to be picked up in Ocho Rios with a pick up time for 10am. Our ship port was changed and we notified TripAdvisor who very promptly notified the local tour company of the change. I received confirmation that we would be picked up at the same time in our new port. The day before I decided to check the time for pick up and realized it was changed to 11:30. Being that we were only in port from 9-5p we were nervous about the 1 and 1/2 hr change. We called the local tour company and after some arguing we were assured we would be picked up at 10:15am. The day of the tour the local agent told us that our time was not 10:15 and tried to argue that we wouldn’t be picked up until 11:30 explaining again that we did not have time for this 5hr tour and the ship boarding we finally boarded a bus. The bus took us to the river for tubing where we were greeted by a nice local who prepped us and took us tubing. We only were tubing for about 1/2 when we were told the tour was over and we were being picked up for the beach/ lunch portion. We were quite surprised that the tubing was so short. We boarded a van and are now dropped off at fenced in beach at the end of a very long dirt road. We immediately felt uncomfortable. We were escorted to wooden straight back chairs with torn vinyl cushions- absolutely disgusting. We were served horrible fruit punch that we couldn’t even drink, if you wanted water you had to pay for it. The food was served in 3 separate deliveries to the wooden chairs Our server insisting that we be present each time therefore you could not enjoy the beach or swimming. The beach was so rock it was tough to even enter the water. The food was disgusting not even edible, the facilities were frightening and the staff very rude. We decide to leave and head back to the ship since our driver said we could go back anytime. To our surprise when we approached the entry area there was a rope or chain across and we were told we could not leave until they located our server. Being that lunch was included we couldn’t understand why they needed to locate her. Another family came behind us and the staff tried to stop them as well but the man was not having any of it and undid the chain. We were now extremely uncomfortable and scared that we were at the mercy of these locals far from our ship. We did finally demand to be let out into the dirt lot to wait for the driver that we had to call ourselves. We waited in this dirt lot looking over our shoulders and feeling unsafe for almost an hour.
DO NOT BOOK THIS TOUR!!! It’s a total scam and TripAdvisor should really do a much better job vetting these excursions. I have NO idea how anyone could rate this more than one star.
