We went to Jamacia in Oct 2007 and took the Carnival sponsored horseback ride. The bus driver, tour guides, and staff at the horseback ride place were all very attentive and had our safety as their first priority. There was even a guy that walked out of the wooded hills we were ridiing and a couple of the tour guides rode over to him and then some other guides showed up in a 4WD vehicle and the guy scurried away. All in all we had a good time, but wouldn't spend the money for the horseback ride again. We did have an encounter with a shop owner from India that was in the little group of shops just outside the terminal (which we were warned about but went anyway). The lady thought that everything we looked at we were going to buy and when I told her that we weren't she called me a M----- F----r. We were also approached about buying dope but when we declined the guy went away. So take heed, beware at the shops just outside of the port, even though there are plenty of security police around. We're going back in Jan 2009 on the Conquest, so welcome any suggestions on what tours are worthwhile and which are not. Happy Sailing!
