Question 1

What is the "Dunn's River Falls "Required" Photo Package" scam in Ocho Rios?

Accepted Answer

At Dunn''s River Falls, a guide is mandatory for the climb. Some unofficial guides imply a "photo package" (50-80 USD) is also required, then sell low-quality prints back at the bottom. The official guide is included in the entry fee. Photo packages are entirely optional. Tell unofficial photographers you don''t want photos before they start shooting.

Question 2

What is the "Mystic Mountain Bobsled Photo Surcharge" scam in Ocho Rios?

Accepted Answer

After the Mystic Mountain bobsled or zipline, a "free" digital photo turns into a 30-60 USD print/USB stick package presented at exit, with implied pressure that the photo is the only memento allowed. Decline at the photo desk; you can wave the staff off mid-ride. The activity itself does not require buying photos, despite the staging.
