Things to do in Runaway Bay, Saint Ann Parish: The Best Tours

September 23, 2021 Mikaela Didonna

Just ten miles west of Ocho Rios, Runaway Bay's stunning beaches see far fewer footprints than its neighbors. It's also removed from the cruise ship herds and pushy vendors. Perfect for those happy not to wander far from their resort, there are a few nearby attractions nonetheless. Bob Marley's childhood home and mausoleum is in nearby Nine Mile. Jamaican history is on view at Seville Great House and at Columbus Park Museum. To explore, rent a reliable vehicle and remember to drive on the left.

Suzette went above and beyond when my friend and I booked the Blue Hole + Horseback Riding excursions. Her private transfers from our villa to each activity were such a lovely treat that saved us the headache of organizing transportation to and from each location. Once we arrived, Suzette made sure we were matched with the best guides. She is very sweet and funny and made sure we felt safe and taken care of. I would also highly recommend visiting the Blue Hole! What a magical, beautiful place! Ask for Omar as your tour guide - he's extremely kind and will make sure you have the best day ever, whether you're scared of heights or the biggest thrill seeker. He made sure we saw (and jumped into) all the most gorgeous waterfalls and caves and surprised us with interesting facts about the flora along the trail. I would definitely go again the next time I'm in Ochi!

Dont think twice about it...DO IT!!! Horseback riding in the ocean is a different experience...We were a party of 4 and each of us had our own guide and everyone of them were awesome..They took pictures of us free of charge on horses in the ocean and in the pure waterfall...Suzette was soo sweet. She waited for us since our Covid test took longer than expected. She also let us wait in the air conditioned van until our horses were ready to get on so that we wouldn't be in the heat. And lastly she took us to Scotchies and allowed us to sit and eat there..The hospitality was AWESOME..

BEWARE!!! I was offered a free airport transfer to Bahia and the driver named MIKE stole my laptop. I reported this to the staff of Coming2 and they claimed they would look at the cameras on the bus. I was then told the cameras for that specific time was “UNAVAILABLE” then the staff showed me photos of my recovered laptop bag WITHOUT my laptop. They also planted MARIJUANA in my laptop bag claiming that was all they found. I was then promised my bag would be returned (WITHOUT MY COMPUTER) and I wanted 5 days but nothing was returned. The staff member was named Peta and another woman was involved. I went to local police and I expect everyone involved to be reprimanded for lying about camera footage and the integrity of the driver MIKE who stole my laptop. I have my own video proving my laptop was on the bus but this company did nothing. DO NOT BOOK!! They will steal and lie

What ever you do, DO NOT BOOK with this company. It’s fraud! The “owner” is doing business under “Martha Brae’s name. Basically you will be paying for the car ride alone there then u will have to pay an additional $77 for the actual rafting. The guy is super rude and disrespectful. He ruined our entire trip to Jamaica! He charges us $160 just for a ride less than 30 mins away. Not to mention we took a different ride which was 1.5 hours long for less than that price. You have been warned! DO NOT BOOK this under any circumstances! We were scammed and I would hate for anyone else to go through that. False Advertisement!
