Overview

Down To Earth Tours LLC runs this private sightseeing trip built around Dunn's River Falls, with the vehicle and guide reserved for one group only. The outing lasts 5 to 6 hours from pickup to drop-off, travelling in an air-conditioned minivan with a driver and guide who stays with you for the day. Entry to the falls is covered in the tour price, which removes one of the usual hassles of visiting independently.

The shape of the day follows a simple pattern. You are collected from your hotel or the cruise port, driven to the falls, and given time to climb there with help from the local guides on site. Several travellers mention stops along the way as well, including lunch and a shopping area their driver recommended. The guide points out places of interest during the drive, which reviewers say turned the transfer itself into part of the experience.

It suits groups who want a flexible pace rather than a fixed coach schedule. One group of six adults and six children reported it worked well for them. A minimum of three people per booking applies, so solo travellers and couples should check the live booking page before relying on it. Moderate fitness helps, since the falls climb is rocky and slippery underfoot.

Dunn's River FallsTime at the falls with entry included. Local guides at the site help visitors climb the waterfall, which involves wet, rocky ground.
Lunch and shopping stopsSeveral reviewers describe a lunch stop and a visit to a shopping area on the way back. Food, drinks and any purchases are extra, as they are not included in the tour price.
Return and drop-offThe driver returns your group to the hotel or port. Reviewers mention being dropped back on time for their ship.

What To Expect From The Tour

A few practical points shape how this day goes, from footwear at the falls to paperwork for cruise passengers.

Footwear and water. Reviewers are firm on this point: you need beach shoes, because the waterfall bed is rocky with gravel and can be slippery. You will get very wet, so plan accordingly for anything you carry.
Fitness level. The listing asks for moderate physical fitness, and the climb itself confirms why. A guide at the falls assists visitors on the way up. Anyone with heart problems or other serious medical conditions is advised against booking.
Private group feel. Only your group participates, so the pace is set by you rather than a coach load of strangers. Reviewers describe the day as unrushed and personal.
Food and money. Food and drinks are not included, and several reviewers mention a lunch stop on the return leg. Bring money for the meal, gratuities and shopping, since souvenir photos and DVDs are sold separately too.
Driving and roads. Expect busy traffic rather than empty highways.
Cruise paperwork. Cruise ship passengers must provide the ship name, docking time, disembarkation time and re-boarding time at the time of booking. Getting this right matters, as one reviewer described confusion over pickup times that delayed their start.

Common issues. The tour requires a minimum of three people per booking, and the listing states it may be cancelled if the minimum number of travellers is not met, in which case a different date or a full refund is offered. It is not wheelchair accessible. Weather matters as well: the experience requires good conditions, and poor weather brings a new date or a full refund rather than the day going ahead. One reviewer reported a pickup time mix-up at the start, though the driver resolved it by phone. Food, drinks, gratuities, souvenir photos and DVDs all cost extra on the day.

Common Questions

Is Pickup Included?

Yes, hotel or port pickup and drop-off are included, along with transport in an air-conditioned minivan. Cruise passengers need to supply their ship name, docking time, disembarkation time and re-boarding time when they book.

Is The Dunn's River Falls Entry Fee Included?

Yes, entry is listed as included. Food and drinks, gratuities, alcoholic drinks, souvenir photos and DVDs are not included and are paid for separately if you want them.

How Long Does The Tour Last?

The listing gives the duration as 5 to 6 hours. One reviewer estimated the drive to the falls at about an hour each way, with the rest of the time spent at the falls, at lunch and on shopping stops.

Is It Suitable For Children?

Children can join but must be accompanied by an adult. The climb at the falls is rocky, gravelly and slippery when wet, so beach shoes and a hand from an adult are advisable for younger visitors.

No, the listing states the tour is not wheelchair accessible. It also advises against booking for anyone with heart problems or other serious medical conditions, and asks for a moderate level of physical fitness.

What Is The Cancellation Policy?

A full refund is available if you cancel at least 24 hours before the start time, based on local time in Jamaica. Cancellations or changes inside that window are not refunded or accepted. If the operator cancels for poor weather or because the minimum group size is not met, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
