When we went to Ocho Rios, we went through an independent agency that provided private tour guides. Our guides name was Kingsley. He was awesome. He picked us up and catered the day to what we wanted. I love water and water falls and wanted to see Dunns River Falls; however, due to some medical restraints, I was unable to do the climb. That was the first stop we made. Kinglsey knew if we went directly from the port in his vehicle, we would beat the tours. We arrived just as the park was open and it was pretty much empty. He took us to a great spot mid way up, where we were able to walk in to the water and swim under some of the falls. We were all alone. Kingsley watched our bags and took pictures with our camera. As we were leaving, we saw some of the groups begin to climb the falls. He also took us to Margaritaville to eat, drove us to a look out far above the ports and showed us Keith Richards house. We went to a wonderful botanical gardens and through the rain forest. As we were driving, the local merchants would approach ( as we expected in Ocho Rios); however, since Kingsley was a local, they backed off when he told them to. He asked us what types of trinkets we were looking for, and took us off the beaten path to find authentic hand crafted items. We love Bob Marley music. Kingsley took us to the Marley statue and up on a mountain to look down on the countryside where Marley is buried. We had a great time, and it was not all that expensive. I have all of the information on my other computer, including pricing and contact info. If anyone is interested, you could e-mail me and I will look it up for you. My e-mail is :
