Best Private Cruise Ship Excursions in Jamaica

By the Exclusive Island Tours Ja Concierge Team

Guests climbing Dunn's River Falls on a private shore excursion

Your ship only docks for a few hours, so every minute in port matters. Crowded cruise-bus excursions mean long lines, rigid schedules and seeing Jamaica through a bus window.

A private shore excursion with Exclusive Island Tours Ja puts you in an air-conditioned vehicle with your own driver, on your own schedule, and we always plan around your all-aboard time.

Our favourite two-attraction combos

  • Dunn's River Falls + Blue Hole, climb the famous falls, then swim and cliff jump in the turquoise pools.
  • Bob Marley Nine Mile, a journey into the hills of St. Ann to the birthplace of a legend.
  • Bamboo rafting + river tubing, a slow, scenic float followed by a playful ride down the river.
  • Konoko Falls + beach break, gardens and waterfalls, then time on the sand.

Food and shopping stops included

Every cruise package includes lunch and shopping time, so you can taste authentic Jamaican food and bring home something special before heading back to the ship.

Why private beats the cruise bus

  • No waiting for strangers, you leave when your group is ready.
  • A professional licensed driver who knows the ports and the traffic.
  • We track your ship's schedule and plan an on-time return.
