White River Tubing in Ocho Rios, Jamaica!
Welcome to Ocho Rios Jamaica, where today I’ll be tubing along the White River. Come with me on this aquatic journey into the Jamaican jungle, as we drift through this region’s beautiful interior, enjoying the scenery on the riverbanks and tubing over some fun (baby) white water rapids along the way.
This was a cruise excursion booked via Holland America Line, as we were in the port of Ocho Rios for the day on the MS Rotterdam. The local company that ran the tubing tour was Chukka, who provide multiple adventure tours throughout the Caribbean.

Norwegian Bliss - New Year's Eve Mexican Riviera Cruise
So beautiful!😊❤ I hear the wind and see the sun.
It really is a special place ☺️
I am visiting Egypt next month for a week I was going to do it on my own now I watched your video I’m worry it’ll be my first time going to that side of the world should I hire a travel company before I go? Or should I go and once in Egypt look for a travel company that can take me around and plan everything for me? I would like to visit Aswan- Kom Ombo - Edfu- Luxor and take a Nile River cruise for a few days
Personally, I wouldn’t do Egypt solo as a first time visitor unless you’re a pretty experienced and confident traveler and are aware of what to expect and are comfortable with that. I did a few days solo in Cairo and very much enjoyed that, but as a first timer I think I would have been a bit overwhelmed tackling multiple cities and the transportation alone. Group travel is a good option if you enjoy organized tours, for me they are a bit hit or miss, but you can always hire your own guide. I personally think that’s the best way to experience the sites. You maintain freedom and flexibility while having someone help you with all the logistics and historical information to enrich your visit. Your accommodation in Egypt can certainly help you hire someone to take you around! Hope the trip goes well however you choose to do it, it’s an amazing country to experience.
Egypt is a beautiful country. Even though I'm Egyptian, I still watch the cool tourist videos 😂
It is a beautiful country! I’m excited to go back and explore some more in the future. Still so much to see.
Wow, that's an experience.
That looks so fun!
It was! Just the right amount of rapids to relaxing ratio 😎
Won’t ever do a holland cruise ever again ! Food was horrible badly run management! But nothing against the crew they were all very helpful but badly overworked and probably underpaid and the ship was beautiful and good. Found it funny the horrible way the elevators tried to say the names of the composers !😂
sorry you had a bad experience - and yes the elevators saying the composer names was perhaps a bit funny at times 🙃
@ I wouldn’t say bad but wouldn’t say Amazing
@@EricSowderDTW24 fair enough! plenty of other lines out there to try to find one you like better for the future 👍🏻 - I know I still have plenty of others to check out
Great Video, I loved it so much ❤
I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
Spanish and French monastery. In Florida another spanish monastery
How can I do this
Link to Elephant Nature Park is in the video description - thanks for watching!
FYI. This was the best video for information on half moon cay…..thanks
I'm glad it was helpful!
Very positive message. Thank you!
You're welcome, I hope it's helpful!
very nice video, I like everything - quality, history, voice over, maps, information, everything.
Thanks, I really appreciate the feedback! Glad you found the video useful 😊
Amazing video as always. Keep doing ya thing.
I appreciate the support! 🤗
Very pretty and a little scary with that sign!
It’s supposed to be scary - it’s important to stay out if you aren’t trained!
You have the courage to dive so far. respect
Appreciate you!
Nice, I'm the first visitor, your video is great.
Thank you very much!
The video was amazing! I really enjoyed the content and details, thank you for sharing this unique experience. If you’re planning to create new videos or need any professional video editing services, I’d be happy to help. Best of luck with your future projects!
Thank you!
Thank you the Norwegian Pearl videos as I will be onboard for a relocation cruise soon. I have opted for an inside to save money on this trip...but it doesn't look great after having a balcony on my last cruise. Agree about the Panama canal it is amazing. I spent the whole day on deck snapping away briefly pausing only to get something to eat. Costa Rica looks incredible. I really enjoyed Aruba but I took the 4x4 coastal trip to the lighthouse. Excellent uploads & insight many thanks again !
Yeah, it’s definitely not a space you’ll want to spend your free time in, but for us it did offer significant savings and allowed us to afford this itinerary over the holidays. I haven’t been on a relocation cruise yet, keen to try one. Thanks for the comment, and I hope you have a great time!
@@daradventures Well relocation cruises or transatlantic cruises are a real bargain but there are lots of sea days..going Barcelona to Miami 😀my fourth transatlantic & not hit a storm as yet haha. Thank you again + just subscribed !
@@cf8545 Thanks for the sub, and I hope you get through another voyage storm free!!
I hate that they got rid of the classical music but looks like a great ship can’t wait to get on it Friday
Have an amazing time!!!
I wish I had watched your video before visiting Thailand as a tourist last year. I regret and am very disgusted with myself for being one of those tourists who partook in riding the elephant and watching them stand on their hind legs and paint for our amusement. I’m leaving for Journey to Freedom in the next few days and I’m very much looking forward to it and the learning experience. I hope to increase awareness and share with others that, like you said, elephants should be able to be observed in their natural habitat, not painting or being used for rides, etc. .
Thanks for sharing your story. I think there are a lot of people out there who partake in these things without knowing what's going on behind it - while there are some who only care about their own entertainment, I think the vast majority of tourists just don't have all the facts. It's wonderful that you learned a bit more about elephants and are committed to supporting their well being going forward! All of the programs that Elephant Nature Park runs are beautiful experiences that provide lasting memories and help to create more advocates for elephant well being. The tireless work they do just blows my mind. I hope you have a beautiful, educational, and life changing experience! If you remember, do leave a comment when you get back - would love to hear how it goes!
Great video, but your amount of ads are rough
Thanks for the feedback, I allow RUclips to place automatically but will certainly review!
Lovely video Lovely country
Thank you for sharing your cruise with us. Your commentary is so clear and concise, which makes for a great presentation. There is just so much to like about the way you showcased this cruise.
Thanks for watching and for the kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Great beach and the video was well edited. But the prices are salty.👍Nr.83
#1 tip should probably be to stay in a new 5-star hotel away from the dirty streets
I noticed the return to ship tender said 1:30? That seems really early…is that something to expect when our itinerary says 4pm departure?
Great question! The day that was filmed, the ship departure time was 2 pm - it was a short day at the island. If your itinerary is departing Half Moon Cay at 4 pm, I would expect the final tender to be 30 minutes prior, so you'd have until about 3:30.
Great Video I will be going on a 12 day cruise with a balcony stateroom on the 5th floor on this Sunday. This video has made me super excited and gave by far the most information out of any other youtube video I have watched with simple yet effective details. Thank you!
Oh I’m glad to hear this was helpful! It’s a lovely ship, enjoy your vacation!
@@daradventures Thank you very much just fingers crossed the weather is nice
Great job touring the island. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed the tour! Thanks for the comment!
My recent HAL cruise was full of old people.
Yes, it tends to skew older - especially for longer itineraries and when school is in session.
Your videos are very good 👍
Thanks for the compliment! Glad you enjoyed watching 🙂
We have been on carnival cruise, and we didn't care for the music because it was too 90's for us, so we like Holland America for their music, 60's and 70's classic rock. We are the baby boomers. We liked other things too. I guess there should be a bit of both on all Carnival Cruise Ships.
Each line goes after a different target audience, but I think a little bit of variety is nice to have, regardless of the line.
You did an amazing job, thank you 🌺🌺
I’m glad you liked it!
Just keep in mind that if you have at least 1 Little Girl, be sure that the Girl wears a Princess Dress so that the Princesses can see the Dress.
😃My wife is on the Rotterdam right now and it was good to see where she is. You video was very informative. Thanks.
Glad you liked the video, and I hope your wife is having a lovely trip! 🙂
excellent video, i'm heading there next Friday and can't wait Thank you
Have fun! Thanks for the comment!
We started taking HAL cruises when we were in our mid fifties, after taking our first cruises on Princess. Early in our HAL experience, we were in the younger demographic. Now, we are on the other side. And we love the three week cruises for the past twenty years. It’s certainly not for the party crowd or the amusement park people. That is certainly a plus for us it was when we first boarded our first HAL ship.
Three weeks at sea does seem pretty nice 😊. Finding the right cruise line is such an important factor for enjoying the experience. Thanks for the comment!
Amazing video iam an Egyptian living in NY I can not describe Egypt the way you did very useful tips thank you❤❤
Glad to hear from an Egyptian that the video was good! Thanks for the comment!
HAL repositioning from Asia to North America is very nice.
This tipping nonsense is worse than the US. I'm going this Saturday and I'm dreading it, as I'm introverted lol
I’m an introvert as well. Just keep lots of small bills on hand so you can minimize talking 😛
Loved it - will be traveling to Egypt this coming December and ur pieces of advice are no doubt awesome. I loved your final tip:TREASURE each moment and experience. Blessings - Toby from Costa Rica.
Glad it was helpful! I hope you have a wonderful trip to Egypt!
Hey, Marry me 🫣😊
I booked a wrangler tour for our family and I am so glad I came across your video. 🤗 This definitely helps me plan a little better.
Glad it was helpful! Hope you have fun!!
Great video. Thank you. I hope to visit in December.
Thanks for the comment! I’m hoping to visit again this year as well, hopefully on a weekday for fewer crowds 🙂. Hope you have a lovely time when you go!
It’s very sad that all of these beautiful places are now overrun with tourists. I lived in Paris for 2 years, a long time ago, and I could walk right up to the door of Notre Dame, the chateaux - all of these places!
I lived in Paris for a bit in 2005. I think you’re right, things were a bit less crazy and crowded back then. The visit I filmed here also took place in August, peak tourist season, so the chateaux were as crowded as they get. Wouldn’t have been my first choice for a time of year to visit, but that’s how things worked out this go round. The first time I saw Chenonceau and Chambord was in January of 2005 - it was cold, but had the places mostly to ourselves 😄
Did you take the bus from Fort Worth or Dallas?
Downtown Fort Worth. If you’re coming from Dallas, I know there’s a train that connects the two cities, and the train drops you at Fort Worth central station, right across from the bus to the Stockyards.
Very fair observations. I feel Holland America has a target market issue. On the one hand it wants to attract (somewhat) younger cruisers running 3rd and 4th passenger free campaigns, OTOH it added light jazz trios as another music option - that's country club music from the black and white movie days!
that’s actually a good point - maybe a bit of conflicting ideas on their end on how they should move forward to appeal to newer and younger passengers. I do wish the music had more variety. I can enjoy a nice jazz trio, but would also appreciate some music that I grew up with! Thanks for taking the time to comment.
Thank you for this very informative video! Can't wait to go!
Awesome! Hope you have a great time!
It looks to be as exciting as Princess Cay except you have to pay for drinks on Half Moon. That sucks.
Are drinks included on Princess Cay then? Yeah that’s a nice plus. I didn’t drink on either visit here, felt silly to pay extra.
@@daradventures if you have the drink package, it included their private island. Same with food, which was burgers, chicken, hot dogs.
@@sweetpea1989 oh that’s definitely a plus then!
Beautiful water. Heaven on Earth
It really is!
Great video thank you.
Glad you liked it!
