Our verdict

This tour fits a typical Ocho Rios call (8:00 am–3:30 pm). It runs 2 h; ashore by 8:20 am, you can start by 8:30 am and be back at the gangway around 10:40 am — 3 h 50 min to spare on top of a 1 h safety margin.

Rule of thumb: it keeps the safety margin as long as all aboard is 11:40 am or later. Even a short 7:00 am–2:00 pm call works.

The operator picks up at the cruise port (it is on their pickup list), so the trip to the start point is part of the tour. We allow 10 min to walk off and find the pickup; look for the ground-transportation area outside Turtle Bay Pier (main Ocho Rios cruise pier).

Among the 400 Ocho Rios shore excursions we track, this is one of the shorter ones (the median runs 4 h); 76% of them fit a typical call.

Computed from the tour's published duration, the distance from the cruise pier to its start point and the typical Ocho Rios call. Adjust your ship's times above to recheck.

Don't miss the opportunity to do so at Scotchies Ocho Rios, the place to grab mouthwatering jerk dishes, sides and soups. Rustic, yet homely, and conveniently located. Scotchie's Ocho Rios is the place to enjoy two great Jamaicans - jerk meats and Red Stripe Beer.
