We stopped here on the way to the Montego Bay airport from our villa near Ocho Rios. We had only planned on stopping for ½ an hour and ended up staying almost two hours. Fortunately, we had time to kill before our flight and we still made it to the airport in time, but it was a very pleasant place... More

We had a great time exploring the cave and learning from our tour guide Dwayne. After a couple of days in the artificial environment of a resort, it was great to see the rock formations, the bats, the interaction with the water table, and to talk about the role that limestone and mining play in the local economy. I was... More

this was worth the trip. It wasn't very crowded when we went so we had the tour to ourselves. If you like bats then you will like this tour. Even though the bats were hanging around they weren't buzzing around our heads and the cave was so big it didn't feel really closed in. This isn't the tours fault but... More

We did the Dunns River Falls and Green Grotto Caves Excursion through Royal Caribbean on our cruise this spring break with our daughter (7) and son (10, and we all really enjoyed our experience. There was a huge group on our tour so it was tough to hear our guide at times, but the caves were really cool and the... More

Our family lucked out, and came on a Sunday, when there was no one else around. (Not a soul - just us and the guides.) Got a young tour guide who was obviously very enthusiastic about the caves, and gave us a great tour that was very thorough. From the creepy sink holes, to the plethora of bats, to the... More

If you're into natural attractions, you should visit these caves. They are a fascinating feature and well worth seeing. The tour guide was friendly, knowledgeable and made the tour enjoyable. It was not physically difficult; you just have to be able to bend down a little when going through some tight spots. Added attractions are the wildlife - lots of... More

It was a beautiful cave with a ton of history. Our tour guide was a comedian, I think that was the most entertaining part. My husband got annoyed, but I thought it was great. The grotto was really interesting and there was a 4 foot snake on the steps going down into the grotto, I thought it was neat. The... More

If you adventurous then this is the cave to visit. Even though we didn't swim in it this last visit, we would recommend you visiting this place.
