ship vs private excursions ocho rios

Are there any private excursions you recommend in ocho rios? I have a 16, 15 and 5 year old who will be with me. Also, the ship excursions, in my opinion, are always overpriced. Can you get the same experience with a private excursion?

Go private for sure. Much better service without being in such a large group and like half the price. Contact Ricardo Riley at libertytoursjamaica and he will be so accommodating. He did our tour to the Blue Hole and my teen age children said it was the best excursion they've ever been on. The guides there are excellent and at no time did we feel unsafe. Hope you have fun!
