Wow. Carolyn Garrett and everyone associated with Garrett Adventures exceeds expectations. Unbelievable. Danny, our host for the day, drove us throughout the Montego Bay region. He allowed us to see the non-tourist portions of the island, told us about the country's history, and hosted us graciously. . He also stopped to take our picture in some beautiful areas, drove us...

I was told you must see Dunns River Falls on our trip to Jamaica. I found Barrett Adventures on the web and thought the write up on their site was a good idea. That was to see Dunns early, when noone else was there and then go on and see the real Jamaica and the "secret falls". And it was... More

We used Barrett tours for three excursions and hotel/airport transfers during our week in Jamaica. Please email Caroline Barrett before arrival to discuss options for tours. She will gladly customize private tours all over the island. Every tour is private! You get your own guide for the day, and you are not rushed to finish early. You can stretch the... More

We booked with Barrett on our day we got to spend in Jamaica from our cruise. We had 3 adults and 5 kids age (4-9). It was a blast. My 9 yr old asks a lot of questions. Shawn was very informative. Shawn taught us a lot about Jamaican history and culture on our drive. Before we left on our... More

I spent a little over a week in Jamaica and went with Barrett Adventures for 3 of those days. I have trouble articulating how awesome Ms.Barrett made our trip. I rode in the front seat during drive time and had the benefit of hearing her wealth of knowledge regarding Jamaican history, culture and local points of interest. Over an hour... More

We booked a horse riding tour with Barrett's. We had fun riding the horses although my horse, scareface, was not interested in galoping on the beach but we still had fun. After horse riding our amazing guide, Shawn asked what else we wanted to do. I said I wanted to go to Rick's Cafe. He informed us that they were... More

When I was looking for a private sailboat in Montego Bay to rent out and to propose to my girlfriend on, I stumbled across a TripAdvisor review of Barrett Adventures and saw that they did sailboat charters. After some back and forth correspondence with Carolyn (Barrett), who was very responsive and helpful right of the bat, I decided to go... More

We spent a wonderful day on the road with Shaun last week. The best part of the trip for us was learning everything we could about the local culture and flavor of Jamaica, whether it be politics, education, hisrtory, sites, or fruits we talked about it all. Rather than venturing to the "typical" sites we decided to go were tourists... More

Our day in Jamacia rafting on the Rio Bueno was just perfect for our family. When we arrived at the staging site they recommended we use the facilities first. The facilities were extremnely clean and nice. Ayatolla was our amazing rafting guide. He was incredibly knowledgeable on local plants and happily taught us what he could. Going on the raft... More
