2.Jamaica Combo Tour: Dunn’s River Falls and Bob Marley’s Nine Mile

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 273 reviews · from $145

Spend about nine hours traveling from Ocho Rios, Montego Bay, or Trelawny to Bob Marley’s Nine Mile and Dunn’s River Falls. Guides such as Rolando, Washington, Tony, and Christina have earned praise for their warmth and local stories. Expect a bumpy mountain drive, a wet climb, lunch, and an optional Luminous Lagoon boat ride.

“This was the most terrible experience! I came from Texas w/my family for a Christmas vacation. I booked this trip two weeks prior to our arrival just to get cancelled on by Holiday Services Ltd the day before our activity “due to holiday traffic” had to rebook through another company to see 100’s of people. Sad! & then had to contact Viator through email on my international vacation to get a refund processing. Absolutely no help or assistance from Holiday services Ltd! Never again or will I refer anyone!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 135 reviews · 9 - 10 hours · from $149

4.Private Tour Ocho Rios or Runaway Bay To 9 Mile Bob Marley Birth & Resting Place

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 99 reviews · from $135

Travel privately from Ocho Rios or Runaway Bay to Nine Mile, Bob Marley’s birthplace and resting place. Your driver, possibly Winston, Henry, Dalton, Leroy, or David, shares Jamaican history along the route. At the site, a Rastafarian guide leads the visit to Zion, with time for music, drinks, and the memorial grounds.

“Did this trip with three teens and while the visit to Bob Marley’s birthplace and resting place was a cool experience, the drive out and back eats up the majority of your time, only allowing you this one activity and lunch. I would rate this higher if I were a huge Marley fan, so for those who are not, I would suggest looking for activities closer to port so you have more time to enjoy the island. Our gourde Henry was great, kind and informative. He did a great job! I would just make sure this was the only thing you wanted to see during a short visit to Jamaica.…”
