About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- trissaf20160 contributionsAwesome Jamaican ExcursionI highly suggest the bamboo rafting excursion. It's beautiful and relaxing. The leg massage is great. Ask for Lance. You won't be disappointed.Written 18 March 2024
- 131charliel0 contributionsFabulous and great value 'best of' tour with INCREDIBLE ziplining!I was a little bit nervous about this trip - the only one we did while visiting Jamaica. It seemed incredibly good value for three such great and varied experiences and excellent in comparison to other similar offerings. I had a small issue confirming dates after booking - but FYI messages sent to their direct email get a prompt response when maybe the ones through TA might get missed. When I got the waivers I was a tad terrified at the wording and went back to look at more reviews of the company elsewhere...eek. Suddenly regretted the booking! But the reviews here and on Facebook were great, and from a quick scan a lot of the poor reviews were from people who hadn't managed to find the right place to be collected from as opposed to having a terrible trip. So we went... ...and had the BEST time. The bus was air-conditioned and clean. The pick-up was perfectly on time and where we were told. The guide, Elliot, was very informative and funny, even stopping the bus to grab a branch of pimento and pass it around so we could all grab a leaf and guess the spices. He gave us a great historical tour just on our way between the activities and always made sure the group was together and accounted for without making you feel like a school trip. The driver was excellent and made us feel safe even on the 'exciting' roads! - BLACK RIVER CRUISE - brilliant. You get so close (safely) to the huge crocs and the mangrove-lined banks are stunning. Bring water, you'll be hot by then and though there's a water and snack stop after the YS falls you'll be gasping if you're sitting in the sun! - YS FALLS - beautiful. The ziplining is a MUST DO - it's actually 5 lines in turn starting with horizontally passing over the falls, then upriver towards the big zip directly following the cascading falls downwards to the pools, then two more to get you down to the ground. The guides are hilarious and skilled, the equipment is sturdy and it's not scary at all - you're very safe. The views as you pass on the big zip are utterly spectacular - can't stress enough that we thought this was going to be a fun little view but will be remembered for a lifetime! - APPLETON RUM ESTATE - Probably the best brewery/distillery/factory tour we've ever done. Every step is talked and tasted through with real energy by the friendly guide, with practical demos and tastings of sugar cane, juice, molasses, and 3 rums at the end too! There was a fab meal in the cafe beforehand with jerk chicken, rice and beans and various veg and salad which was all included and really tasty (plus a rum punch and soft drinks). I had a bad headache from the sun (yes, the sun not the rum!) and they were so concerned and caring to get me feeling better. Then a great drive home - with a bonus taste of rum punch from Elliot and some great relaxing tunes on the way back! They stop by a little gift shop with a restroom that many were glad of, just watch the prices in the shop as they definitely have a captive audience. It's not a scam or anything bad, but you're not always getting the amazing deal the 'offers' might suggest so be sensible. This is an excellent tour and conducted with a relaxed and professional attitude. Highly recommend. Chukka is one of the biggest tour operators in Jamaica so don't know about in other countries but there they absolutely know what they're doing, don't be scared off by the negative TP reviews - just make sure you know where and when you're being collected! Only point for Chukka, minor but worth noting - for all guides maybe cool it on the baby/fertility jokes re molasses giving virility to men? As a childless by choice couple we laughed the attention off, but if all those jokes fell on people who were struggling to conceive or had tragedy in that area, it could have been quite difficult. Other than that, just excellent.Written 17 March 2024
- amygY3183LL0 contributionsEnjoyed the ebike.Enjoyed the ebiking. Our group enjoyed the ebike, it was fun to see some of the real jamaica, and learn about some of the local crops. Watch out for all of the potholes. Would have like to enjoy the scenery more, but really had to watch the road.! Some in my group, thought this was the best part of our day. The rum tasting was ok.Written 17 March 2024
- amygY3183LL0 contributionsOne of out two isnt bad..The ziplines were a lot of fun. Lavon, Kirk and Keno were great. They kept us safe and kept things lively. The ziplines werent as high as I have seen other places, but they seemed a bit longer and our group enjoyed it. I could see this being a great place to do ziplines for the first time. The River tubing was a complete bust. Essentially, they tied all of the tubes together and then the guide pulls the whole train down the river, which is ankle deep in most cases. If he didnt pull you, you would be beached on the bottom. It was not fault of our guide, but this was not a good use of time. We got to see some pretty sites, but I would not consider this river tubing. There was no current. They shouldnt even offer this during the dry season. The guide worked his butt off. The tasting was ok.Written 17 March 2024

- 679lauried0 contributionsGreat day in the forestThis is a great spot! It's located just a little ways inland, in the beautiful rolling hills of the north coast. The people who work here are absolutely wonderful, kind, and fun! We only joined for ziplining and it was great for people afraid of heights. There are about 5 jumps and they take you through the beautiful forests, over the river, and even between the two trunks of one split tree! We had Giovanni and Orville as our guides, they were very good at their jobs. Safety was number one, and also taught us us about some Jamaican history, wildlife, and vegetation. Great experience!Written 16 March 2024

- Triske1230 contributionsRiver Tubing and Adventure FallsWe booked the "Adventure Falls and River Tubing" excursion through Royal Caribbean. We ported in Falmouth and it was about a 20 minute shuttle ride to the estate. I have to say that Oshein (sorry if that's misspelled!) was the highlight of our trip. He was SO friendly and funny and super knowledgeable. My youngest daughter has some sensory issues, he noticed right away and took special care to make sure she was never overwhelmed. This was her FAVORITE excursion because of him! Thank you so much Oshein for making this such an incredible experience for her (and us!!) "Princess Grace" says hello!! :)Written 14 March 2024
- Sightsee576294621360 contributionsOutstanding ExperienceA big thank you to Earl, Wayne, Anthony and the rest of the Chukka crew for making our time today a very memorable one. Zip lining exceeded our expectations, the lunch was delicious and the tubing was very relaxing. These guys did their best to make sure everybody stayed safe and had a great time. I only wish we would’ve had more time to swim and ride the water slide, maybe next time….Written 13 March 2024

They were helpful when my mom had a freak out over heights. Tameka was very informative abut the history of the plantation. Did the rivertubing as well, President and Palmer were so funny and made the experience so enjoyed. Had a beautiful pool area and was able to try some really amazing food. Amazing staff and beautiful location. I cant wait to return again.Written 9 March 2024

YS Falls was beautiful! The River Safari had a great tour guide with great stories. The river ride was amazing showing seeing many different plants and trees and the crocodiles- they even have names! The drive to get to these great places was long but well worth the experience.Written 9 March 2024
- Curiosity283991524290 contributionsBamboo river rafting is a must do! Lennox is the bestWe chose to do zip lining and the bamboo river rafting. The chukka outpost property was beautiful! Could spend all day there as they have an infinity pool, DJ, multiple bars, gift shop, lunch provided. The zip lining was okay but The bamboo river rafting was breathtaking and not something you want to pass up! The views were immaculate. You get a complimentary bottle of champagne, a fresh coconut and a limestone massage. The limestone they use comes from the river. Highly recommend requesting Lennox as your tour guide. He is a Rastafarian herbalist that taught us about the different plants and their uses, gave us a fresh bamboo straw to take home. Lennox is an amazing person and we were so lucky to have him as our guide. The energy he gives off is truly amazing. I walked away feeling spiritually revived and almost in tears from the beauty of nature and his soul. All the tour guides at the chukka outpost including raft guides accept tips so bring money to tip!Written 7 March 2024
- Go536037200020 contributionsNot worth the moneyWe booked the river rafting with foot massage through our hotel Bahia Principe. The charge was $109. It was a long ride to begin with but fine. We got there and went on a 45 min raft ride which was nice. The foot “massage” was limestone rubbed on our feet and up to our knees, no massage, just let it dry and was rinsed off. Then they said you could buy it - a bag, of I’m not sure how much, was quoted as $40. We passed. We left our hotel at 8:30ish and arrived around 20 after picking up others and the long ride. After rafting was over at 11ish, we had to stay until our ride went back at 2. They had a pool and water slide we could use but food and drinks were additional. My husband ordered a Long Island and it was horrible, not even close. Granted it is Jamaica but when he asked for something different they said he had to pay and were actually kind of rude. Riverside Bar. The rafting was not worth $109 alone and we weren’t told we would be staying hours after the rafting. Lunch and one drink should have been included for that price.Written 7 March 2024

LITTTTT! The rum tasting was so much fun! Patrice was very informative and allowed us to have a great time! Appleton Estate is so tasty and a staple in Jamaica so it was great to be able to try it. Me and my friends also did the river tubing with OShine (I think) and he was so funny and chill!! The river was nice and so was the scenery. We also saw the waterfall and had a BOMB photo shoot! We got to take as many pictures and we wanted and they all look super good. Overall a relaxing but fun time! 5 OUT 5 STARS. Just go, that’s it!

I was very disappointed on my last day in Belize. I booked this tour well in advance only to be left sitting in the lobby. The driver never picked us up from the hotel. In fact, I tried reaching out two days before to confirm; being that my tour was paid for (2 people). They never responding. I contacted Viator, and they reached out, only to continually get the voice mail. The Valet at my hotel said if it's not a large group, they usually don't show up or they show up late.
This was very frustrating and disappointing.

We did this tour through the cruise ship and enjoyed it. We did Zip line first, then buggy ride, then cave tubing last. It rained the WHOLE DAY! We were soaking wet all day. They do have lockers you can purchase to keep your things dry. They made attempts to keep the ATV helmets dry by covering them but they still were soaking wet when you went to put them on. There is a live DJ there all day which was nice but his music was WAY to loud and also the tour we did included food and a tiny tiny plastic cup of koolaid so make sure and bring money for a drink. The walk to the cave tubing was a lot longer than I thought it would be so make sure your water shoes have a good bottom to them. The zip line was OK the rain forest was very thick and green and helped provide some coverage from the rain. I would say this zip line would be a good starter zip line for anyone. The rain added extra fun to the ATV ride because the whole trail was muddy but with the rain it was hard to see through the helmets from all the rain. All in all it was a fun day and I would recommend this tour to anyone.

If you do only one thing in Belize, make sure you check this out. Start your adventure with an exciting drive on narrow winding trails through the woods in a jungle buggy—a powerful side-by-side XUV that will satisfy your need for speed. Make sure you bring your drivers license. Then you hike uphill for a ways to the zip-lining. Fortunately, it's all downhill from here, pardon the cliché. You need to be wearing sensible shoes. It's zip-lining, what more do I need to say! Last but not least, you go down to the river and get in a tube, and embark on a ride through a cave with stalactites and stalagmites where it's nice and cool, and the guide gives an interesting narrative. Water shoes are recommended. Lunch is included, along with a DJ to add to the festive mood. You can buy a nice cold beer or a tropical drink with or without alcohol, or just a soda. There's a gift shop, and lockers are available. This is in the middle of the jungle, with the usual humidity, but the dense leafy canopy overhead saves you from being baked by the sun, and the buses are air conditioned.

This was a really fun excursion that we booked through our cruise ship. The people were absolutely incredible, and the service was stellar. I’m a generous tipper, but literally every person had their hand out. I spent more on tips than I did on the excursion. A better tipping system would make it easier to express appreciation to all without making the tourists feel sucked dry.
My only really huge complaint is that I bought our pictures there. I paid cash for them to be emailed to me. I never got them. I’ve written 3 emails to the photo place, looked online to where they were supposed to be available, and tried to call them 7 times. Busy signal on the phone, no response to emails, and the few photos online are from back in August. Our tour was in September. I am beyond frustrated. I hate to give negative reviews, but know of no other way to get someone’s attention for help.
Bottom line: very fun day and nice people, but don’t buy the pictures!!
