Paml514 Posted June 27, 2018 Report Share Posted June 27, 2018 Hi there. Would like to know what excursions people recommend in Jamaica. Looking for something beachy if possible. We will be traveling with our 14 and 15 year old kids.. Thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melski94 Posted June 27, 2018 Report Share Posted June 27, 2018 My family used a private tour guide and went to Blue Hole. Not a beach trip but it was really fun. We loved it so much we'll do it again in November. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiny260 Posted June 27, 2018 Report Share Posted June 27, 2018 We booked a "resortforaday", we will have our 11YR Grandson with us on this one so we picked a resort that allowed families, usually we don't do anything except look around the port, we don't really like Falmouth that well, so we do a "Ship day". I have in the past gone to Dunn's River and Blue Hole, but from Falmouth they are a drive. Someone wrote on here recently that if you pick Dunn's River you better be in good shape because it can be physically limiting. On other islands or destinations I have done what @melski94 said and just hired a driver to take us around and show us the sites, if you do this make sure you negotiate the price before hand.

melski94 Posted June 27, 2018 Report Share Posted June 27, 2018 Just to be clear, I never hire a driver outside the pier (especially in Jamaica). I research guides/drivers on TripAdvisor and CC. I'll contact them and negotiate a price well in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, sorry didn't speculate that, I also do not just grab a driver, everything is per-negotiated. I will just grab a Taxi in Cozumel though...

Paml514 Posted June 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2018 Thanks so much! Tiny260, was it a "resort for a day" from the Royal Caribbean offered excursions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiny260 Posted June 29, 2018 Report Share Posted June 29, 2018 No, resort for a day is not offered through the ship, it's a web site that I booked directly with, they are name brand hotels that offer the use of their pool and beach, some are all inclusive some are not. I picked a Hyatt for my upcoming cruise in July. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
