Ocho Rios Cruise Port Pickups & Shore Excursions
Private pickups from the Ocho Rios cruise pier with a JUTA-licensed driver. See Dunn's River Falls, the Blue Hole or Bob Marley's Nine Mile on your own schedule, and get back to the pier before all-aboard.
How your Ocho Rios cruise pickup works
A private excursion means no waiting for a full tour bus and no fixed group schedule. Here is how it runs.
-
Send us your ship details
Tell us your ship name, the date you are in Ocho Rios, your arrival and all-aboard times, your group size and what you would like to see. We reply with a plan and a quote.
-
Meet your driver at the pier
Your driver meets you as you leave the cruise terminal, and you will have their details on WhatsApp before you dock.
-
Enjoy your day
Travel in a private, air-conditioned Toyota to the places you chose, at your own pace.
-
Back to the pier in good time
We plan every excursion backwards from your all-aboard time and build in a buffer, so you are back at the terminal with time to spare.
Popular shore excursions from Ocho Rios
Most of Ocho Rios' best-known attractions are a short drive from the cruise pier, so even a short port call leaves plenty of time.
Dunn's River Falls
Climb the famous terraced waterfall down to the beach. With a private driver you can avoid arriving at the same time as the big ship tours.
Blue Hole & White River
Swim and jump into turquoise pools, then add river tubing nearby. See our Blue Hole tour.
Konoko Falls
Waterfalls, gardens and views over Ocho Rios, usually with fewer crowds than Dunn's River.
Mystic Mountain & Dolphin Cove
Rainforest chairlift and bobsled, or swim with dolphins next to Dunn's River. Easy to pair with the falls.
Bob Marley's Nine Mile
Visit Bob Marley's birthplace in the St. Ann hills, driving through Fern Gully. Best for a full day in port.
Build your own day
Mix a waterfall, a beach and some shopping in town, or ask for anything else you have in mind.
Getting you back on time
Missing the ship is every cruise passenger's worry, so we plan around it from the start:
- Your plan is built backwards from your all-aboard time
- We leave a buffer for traffic on the way back
- Your driver keeps in touch with you by WhatsApp throughout the day
- Longer trips like Nine Mile are only planned for port calls with enough time
How pricing works
Every excursion is private, so we price by trip rather than per seat. Your quote depends on your group size, where you want to go and which vehicle suits you:
- Toyota Voxy for couples and small groups
- Toyota Hiace for families and larger groups
Attraction entry tickets are separate unless your quote says otherwise.
