Excursão turística ao Grande Buraco Azul saindo de Falmouth

We--two couples-booked this tour as an alternative to excursions from our cruise ship. It's a great way to see the Jamaica while avoiding large tour bus crowds. Sean was a fun and informative guide and we learned a lot about the country and language during our drive to and from the Blue Hole. The Blue Hole hike requires some nimbleness with climbing stairs and rocks but the guides are great, literally holding your hand every step. Definitely bring or buy water shoes ($15 on location). Also, be aware that, if you buy the photos, shoes, or drinks (this is NOT part of Marvyn's tour so no reflection on them), you will need to pay cash--the photos are pricey too--as they can't get a signal to run credit cards. Sean took us to a wonderful beachfront restaurant for lunch and a swim which was a relaxing oasis after our active morning at the falls. The food and service were also good (bonus!) and they accepted credit cards. This tour is great if you're up for a little physical activity and a really good value. I would highly recommend it. We saw families there with children around 7 and up and, of course, they navigated the climb and jumps much better than the adults. A great family, couples, and friends outing. I would definitely recommend it.

We were picked up on time for the blue hole excursion. We had an informative, fun, energetic, kind, and knowledgeable tour guide named Shawn. We learned a lot about Jamaica. Our ride to the blue hole was comfortable and educational. Shawn taught us about Jamaican history and showed us sights along the way. The blue hole was so fun! After the Blue Hole we went to a yummy place on the beach for lunch. The beach was beautiful and the Jerk chicken was delicious! Our kids ages 17,14, 12, and 8 list this as their favorite excursion and favorite part of our whole cruise. We felt safe the whole time and loved our time in Jamaica, I would highly recommend this excursion!

Excellent tour. This was effectively a private tour with a highly knowledgeable driver. The cruise ship had to change arrival ports at the last minute, and the tour company was very accommodating, meeting us at the new port with no trouble. Gregory, with Melvyns Paradise Tours, was very friendly, pointed out and explained various landmarks, and added local flavor. He toured us around St. Anns, showing us local markets, national hero monuments, and beautiful views. Blue Hole was a great experience. It does require significant physical exertion and is not for those with disabilities. It is not commercialized like Dunns River Falls, and provides a more natural experience of climbing waterfalls in a natural jungle environment. After Blue Hole, Gregory took us to Scotchies for lunch. Excellent food. He stayed wit us for lunch and was a great conversationalist. He treated us all very well, answered all of our questions and gave us a broader sense of Jamaica than just going to an attraction. Highly recommended!

This was a fabulous tour excursion! We were in port for a day with our cruise and this was a wonderful dive into the local beauty and culture of the island. Not only was the Blue Hole a wonderful immersion activity, it was not overly crowded and included a personal guide for each group. Our driver was so accommodating and even stopped off at a local joint called Scotchies that was great. I highly recommend the jerk chicken but be careful of the island punch as it packs real punch! You will want to be sure to wear the water shoes they recommend as the rocks around the water and in the pools can be slippery and a bit rough. Overall, this was really great tour for our group of eight. Highly recommend.
