We were visiting Jamaica for the 1st time and I really wanted to explore Dunn's River Falls & also do a Bamboo river rafting tour on Martha Brae River as they were both on my bucket list. I researched this tour on my own as I wanted a truly local and immersive experience by choosing a safe and reliable tour operator outside of the ones the hotels and cruise lines offered. After doing a lot of research on TripAdvisor, Facebook & Instagram, I chose to go with Dr. Fun Tours and we were not disappointed at all as our experience was soo much more memorable!!!
Trust me! You wont be disappointed! Mr. Delton Rhoden (aka Dr. Fun) who is the owner of Dr. Fun Tours was also our tour guide. He promptly picked my husband & I up at our resort - Secrets St. James which was at Montego Bay at 9am for a private tour. Delton was very professional, courteous and extremely knowledgeable. The van was air-conditioned, sanitized and clean. Delton also made sure that we were well hydrated and also brought a mango for us that was plucked from his own garden. Along the way, he informed us about the history of the place, the life of the people of Jamaica, the culture and specialties of the towns we passed by, the local foods and the famous artists and celebrities who have put Jamaica on the world map! We even participated in Dr. Fun's Fun Song along the way! We really appreciated this personalized experience as we were not packed in a bus with a bunch of other people.
We reached Dunn's Falls safely as we travelled a good 1 hour from Montego Bay into Ocho Rios and we were very impressed with Delton (aka Dr. Fun) as he himself went to get our entrance tickets. We did not have to stand in lineups. He personally went to get the tickets and accompanied us into Dunn's falls. He made sure to let us know where to wait for him after we had finished the climb. He ensured that our personal items were locked in his van and ensured us of the safety of our belongings. We had a great time at Dunn's Falls and found Delton waiting for us to take us to the next stop on our tour! We requested Delton to recommend some local delicacies and he took us to this amazing shop that makes Sweet Potato Pie and got us a slice for us to taste without even charging us for it. He then took us into the town to this amazing Jamaican Beef patty place and waited for us while we got ourselves delicious local patties for lunch.
On our way to Martha Brae river, Delton also took us to Fern valley to show us the beautiful ferns and flora along the valley! We then reached Martha Brae river rafting after another 15mins and there as well, we did not wait in any lines as Delton made sure to go in and purchase the tickets himself and told us promptly that he will be waiting for us at the base of the river's end when we had finished our rafting tour! It was so surreal and relaxing! Delton made sure that he took us safely and brought us back to Secrets St. James in Montego Bay safely.
Dr. Fun Tours really made our 1st trip to Jamaica so much more memorable! Thanks Delton (Dr. Fun)!! We had a great time with you and recommend Dr. Fun Tours to all our family and friends who now all want to come to Jamaica after we told them what an amazing time we had with you!!!!
We will definitely be back to Jamaica & looking forward to more tours with Dr. Fun❤️????????
