Tour Description:

This family friendly River Tubing and Beach Adventure begins at your Ocho Rios cruise ship pier or resort.

First stop; the famous White River. On your journey to this inviting river you will have the opportunity to view "behind the scenes" Jamaica while touring the local neighborhoods of Ocho Rios. Upon arrival at White River, you will find a changing area, life jackets, and a shop.

The thrills begin when you plop down into a tube outfitted with a bottom to begin your breathtaking journey through rushing rapids and placid pools as you continue to drift along the White River which takes approximately 45 minutes. Midway through this aquatic adventure you will have an opportunity to take a breathtaking 20 feet plunge into the deep blue river water while having your photo taken by a member of the attentive White River Tubing staff.

After your White River Tubing adventure, we head to Bamboo Blu Beach Bar and Grill. Take part in a variety of activities, or relax and enjoy authentic Jamaican style lunch while listening to the sounds of Caribbean music.

Your driver will pick you up at the agreed upon time and take you to a duty free shopping center before returning to your ship or resort.

There is also an optional drop off at the renowned "Margaritaville" where Jimmy Buffett's "Parrothead" fans love to relax, listening to his beloved songs, while enjoying a water slide, rooftop whirlpool, regular pool, and of course, a swim-up bar for a variety of beverages. Margaritaville is an easy walk to your ship!

We had a great experience with Jaital. Everyone we met was very professional, and very nice. We appreciated our driver so much. He was so kind, and although he was new at his job, he still knew a lot about Ocho Rios. He also told us some history and showed us all three areas and classes of Jamaicans which was neat for us to see. We had a blast tubing the river. They didnt care that we had our cameras and we were videoing and taking pictures the whole time. The crew was hillarious and were singing songs the whole time that made us laugh. They helped us not get caught by the trees and just made everything very enjoyable. The beach was nice. The only complaint I would have is that you had to pay for a lounge chair. We ended up just hanging out on our towel. But the beach was beautiful and we enjoyed our time there. They also got us back in time for our cruise. more...

We had a wonderful time. The directions for meeting before the excursions were spot on, the driver was courteous and knowledgeable. The people at river tubing were amazing and a lot of fun was had by all. A little disappointed with Bamboo Blu as the service was a bit lacking. Your website was easy to work with and I will recommend you to any of my friends coming to Jamica.

The woman who processed our reservation in Jamaica was very pleasant and the driver as well. Our tubing experience was enjoyed by the whole family. The Bamboo Blu beach was very crowded and shade was limited.

“refreshing and relaxing”
Visited in August 2016
we were on Carnival Conquest. We truly enjoyed are trip down Ocho Rios, Jamaica river tubing. The guide, Randy was excellent. He song may songs along our way down the stream and answered all of our questions regarding Jamaica . The river is maintained by Jaital every morning. They make sure it is kept clean. Our rest stop was nice they alllowed some time to swim in the river. They provided a swing, lounge chairs, rope to swing into the river and as well as to purchase food and souvenirs. You must try this it was really fun, refreshing and relaxing. We also were very pleased with the driver, Orlando and the young lady whom accompanied us to River tubing and beach. They were very nice, caring and waited for us. We felt safe leaving them our valuables as we went river tubing. [TripAdvisor re-post] more...

Visited in April 2016
We had a fabulous time in Jamaica! Our driver was very pleasant and friendly. When we were dropped off at river tubing, we felt completely comfortable leaving our belongings with him in the van. River tubing was amazing! Our guide and he was awesome with the kids. We loved singing along with him to the songs as we floated down the river. Our stop at the halfway point was great too. The kids all jumped off the platform and had so much fun. The beach was great too. The food and drinks were a bit expensive, but that was not at all Jaital's fault. A woman braided my daughter's hair, and it came out beautiful. We would have liked more time on the beach, but we had to get back to our ship. I will be using Jaital again!

She went with a very large group. I preferred our trip as our family of 5 were the only ones, so we got the river and George to ourselves! I will be using Jaital again! more...

“River Tubing and Bamboo Blu Beach was a day in Paradise!!!”
Visited in April 2016
Our day began with a beautiful drive into the countryside while very relaxed in a new spacious van with a very friendly and very informative driver! When we arrived at the White River to enjoy river tubing excursion that process was perfect. Our driver told us where to go sign in and because we would be floating down a river where anything we didn't want to get wet or destroyed we had the option of leaving it in the cab during our excursion as the same driver would be at the other end of the river waiting for us with all of our valuables ready to take us to the next part of our excursion. River tubing was a blast with dips in the water and a lot of beautiful scenery. Our guides were friendly and singing local music while we floated down the river, for my fiancé and I, it was the best and most relaxing day we had on our entire trip! The beach was unbelievable! the water was clear and warm. We had great food, and met lots of friendly people. Overall, Jaital will take care of your every need!! Enjoy! [TripAdvisor re-post] more...

Our day that was spent at the White River tubing, and then at the Bamboo Blu Beach was literally everything we could of expected and more! Our driver was fantastic and full of information as well as very friendly! The river tubing guides were a riot and my fiancé and I had a blast floating down the river listening to them sing! Followed by the most beautiful beach my fiancé and I have ever been on!! Truly a unforgettable day! Thanks Jaital! You have gained a forever customer in us! more...

“River Tubing was a blast”
Visited in March 2016
We had a wonderful day river tubing on the White River. Jaital was easy to locate when we got off our ship. Our driver was very friendly. He dropped us off at the White River tubing place and picked us up at the end of the excursion and then dropped us off at a beach and asked what time we would like to be picked up at and brought us back directly to our ship. Jaital was very easy to deal with when booking this excursion on-line. [TripAdvisor re-post] more...

Thanks for the nice tour and perfect service. super friendly tour guide and driver. Everything was well organized. Although we were only three participants. River tubing was great fun. Although there were with us about 100 people on the river. Bamboo Beach we did not like. The beach was already quite small.Than they had separated a part and declared as VIP area. It cost extra. We therefore had to be in the crowded bar area with very loud music. Find it better a different beach. But we will recommend Jaital. more...

We had a great experience with you, and would not hesitate to book with you again. We met at Ocean 11 in Ocho Rios with a nice woman, I think her name was Colleen. Then we met our driver, Sylvan, who was so nice, polite, and eager to please. Our tubing experience with Vivian, our guide, was really good also. Sylvan drove us to the beach afterwards, and then drove us back to the port. Thank you for being so reliable, and making this excursion fun! Hope to use you again when in the Carib. more...

Our excursion went very well and we enjoyed it very much. Our guide was Colleen and something Glenroy both were very professional. Being our first time to Jamaica we were a bit hesitant on exploring much due to word of mouth from friends who have traveled there. However they made us feel very comfortable and welcome to their island. The guide was on time and the vehicle we were transported in was pretty much brand new so right off the bat we knew it wasn't some run down service we hired. They were very informative the whole time we were with them. We kept all of our belongings in the vehicle while doing our excursion and had no issues whatsoever. I will definitely use Jaitals service on any other island we visit as our first experience was outstanding. Cant wait to go back to Jamaica! more...

I booked 3 tours with JAITAL and they all were amazing! Your company was great with communicating with me before during and after my trip. I had to set up tours for a group of 13 people and everything went smoothly. Orlando was an amazing guide who catered to our every request. When I come back to Jamaica I will only use Jaital as my tour company. I will also recommend your services to my friends and family that will visit Jamaica. Thank you again for a wonderful experience in Jamaica. more...

we had a fantastic time on our excursion in Ocho Rios! We were directed to the Oceans 11 starting point and were quickly on our way! Our driver was Orlando, and unfortunately I dont recall our guides name, but she was very sweet and told us stories of Jamaica and sang beautifully! There were 4 other ladies with us who did the Falls tour and we quickly dropped 2 of them off first and were on our way to the tubing. We were the only 4 in the river....it was beautiful and relaxing. Then we dropped off those ladies at the Falls and picked up the other ones and were on our way to the beach..it was awesome! At the agreed time we met and were driven back to the ship. I did bring some school supplies for donation which I forgot in my stateroom, they waited for me to come back and deliver them! It was a great experience, I felt totally safe, which was my main concern, and I thought the cost of the excursion was reasonable.The website was very easy to use and I received communication right away. I would definitely use Jaital again for my excursions! Thanks again! more...

“This was AMAZING”
Visited in October 2014
The white river tubing excursion was AMAZING. Our bus guide Stacelee was very helpful. Our river guides Haldino and George were awesome. The river is beautiful. Half way thru you stop at a cove, drinks are available. Don\\\'t worry about taking money, you can drink and then pay at the end. Pics are taken that you can also purchase, I recommend getting them. Did not want this to end. Bamboo Blu Beach was beautiful, my only complaint is we were not there long enough. I highly recommend this excursion. [Tripadvisor re-post] more...

We have used another source for a recent day trip and realize we chose poorly and missed Sylvan !

We had such a great time river tubing! Our guide made it so much fun with his Jamaican sing-a-longs as we were headed down the river, and what a grand voice he has! We had a great driver and we truly had No Problems, Mon! So glad it was him at the wheel instead of one of us because the drive was an adventure all by itself. The beach club was fabulous and while there we discovered our new favorite drink...a Dirty Banana. Anyone of legal age reading this simply MUST try this drink! We came in on a cruise ship and would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Ocho Rios. It fit in perfectly with the time we had in port and it covered so many great activities all at once. One Love, Jamaica! more...

The trip we did was very good although we decided not to go to the beach after the River Tubing, so he happily dropped us off back at the ship. Our Driver was very friendly and explained some of the local words and places we were passing through. The River Tubing was a great laugh and we will always remember singing along with our guide as floated peacefully down the River. If asked we would recommend your Company and this trip. more...

White River Tubing and Bamboo Blu Beach
Visited in January 2014
Great bargain excursion. We experienced a few hiccups, but we\\\'ve had those on excursions that cost twice as much. We booked the excursion for 4 about a week before our arrival. A few days later 4 more friends wanted to join us. Jaital was very accommodating and easy to deal with regarding the late changes. At Oceans 11, we had to wait a while for our transportation but that us time to have a few Red Stripes while waiting. There were 8 of us in our group which made it a nice intimate day without having to worry about a whole bunch of other people. The trip to the White River was pleasant and getting the tubes, shoes, etc. went well. The river is beautiful. We had two guides who were very helpful and pleasant. After tubing we were taken to Bamboo Blu Beach where we had some great jerk chicken and relaxed in the sun. Stacey Lee was with us all day (other than actually tubing down the river). She\\\'s very pleasant and we enjoyed spending the afternoon with her at the beach. Jaital costs at least half as much as the ship excursions and we had just as much fun or more. We highly recommend this company. [TripAdvisor re-post] more...

All 12 of us had a wonderful time on your river tubing tour. My husband and I had done this before and thought that our friends would enjoy it too. We especially liked our driver who had us laughing for most of the ride. I understand that \'word of mouth\' is the best advertisement and I will be certain to recommend your company to my friends on Cruise Critic.

We all had a great time. Our driver was really great, and friendly, and made sure we had a good experience. The river tubing staff were very attentive. I was floating down the river with a 4 year old, and one of the guides (I don\'t know his name) was very protective and made sure we were OK. Our driver was very punctual in picking us up at Dunn River Falls, and made sure we got to our ship on time.

I would like to say that our group was VERY happy with our tubing/beach adventure. It was such a nice change from the large groups that you get stuck with if you book through the cruise line. Alphonso was our driver and he was AWESOME!! I had read great reviews on him on your web site and he lived up to his reputation. From the minute he picked us up he made sure we were looked after and had everything that we needed. The two guys that were with us on the tubing trip we also great, Shawn and Vivian. They made sure we were safe and had a good time. Patrick our server on the beach was also great. I was nervous booking a tour through the internet since we were a group of girls with kids and was afraid it might not be safe...but it was. I will recommend your company to anyone traveling to Jamaica. Thanks for a great time and great memories...a special thanks to Alphonso..YOU WERE GREAT!![Tripadvisor re-post] more...
