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

What an incredible day we spent with Loxley and Barrett's. the falls were beautiful and we weren't fighting the crowds of 3000 at the other falls. The trip to the upper falls was unforgettable as was our day with Loxley who was kind, professional and sharing with the Jamaican culture. We swam under and walked down waterfalls. Discovered caves under... More

I read a handful of reviews and even emailed a few companies before deciding to book with Carolyn. She was absolutely great with the back and forth communication and was very accommodating, given my last minute booking. I decided to customize the Secret Falls tour by excluding the Tubing portion since I've done that in previous trips. Shawn was our... More

We were arriving in Falmouth on the Freedom of the Seas and did not want to be stuck on crowded tour buses with the masses so we chose to book a private tour with Barrett Adventures. It couldn't have been easier. Carolyn answered all of our questions and concerns and helped us choose the right adventure for our families. We... More

Working out the details before our trip by email with Carolyn Barrett was great. She was very helpful and answered all our questions well. When we got to Jamaica for our 1 day stop from a cruise, our driver Shawn was waiting for us on time. Our first dissapointment came when we saw the van we were going to be... More

Let me just start by saying this entire company is just excellent! Startting with the owner Carolyn Barrett who was great to work with and answered all of my wife and my questions. Next the tour guide Loxley was absolutely the BEST! He was very informative, knew a lot about Jamaica and was even great and patient with my 8... More
