Tipping - Dunns River Falls/Green Grotto Caves

My DD and I are booked on the Dunns River Falls and Green Grotto Caves tour through Royal Caribbean. I know it's hard to say because each person is different but does anyone have any advice for tipping on this excursion? The tour price is $79/pp.

 

I'm thinking there are:

 

Guides at the Falls [how much more if they take your picture(s)?]

Guide at Green Grotto Caves

Driver

Anyone else?

 

How much each? - And please specify if you mean per person or total for the 2 of us.

 

I do want to tip and I don't want to be cheap but I don't know how much is reasonable. I'm thinking along the terms of 15-20% of the tour cost which would be $24-$32 for the 2 of us. If that is a good amount, how would you divvy it up?

 

Thank you in advance!! :)

We did this excursion a couple years back and really enjoyed it.

 

At the caves wear sturdy shoes, no flip flops.

You would benefit from taking a small flashlight as you descend the staircase to the underground lake.

 

The guides are great, we gave our guide for the three of us $10.

 

At Dunns we did the same another $10.

 

To the bus driver we gave a $5.

 

Also take small bills, when we were at the caves that had a concession stand, (as well as clean modern restrooms) that when the DH got three bottles of water at a $1 each, he gave a $10- we got back 7 Jamaican coins (rip-off):eek:

 

Guess they needed the money.

 

Jamaica economy is bad, that is why we were generous with our tips.

 

Safe travels.

YadaYadaJodi- How was this excursion? Thinking about doing it with my DH(38) and 3 daughters (8,6,4). I have climbed the falls before and I think they can do it. Would love to know more about the whole tour though.

Thanks!
