Rafting down the Martha Brae River you'll be transported into a tropical paradise filled with mango trees, mangroves and palms. On this excursion, you'll be guided downriver in a bamboo raft to soak up this exotic landscape, just a short journey away from Montego Bay.

Floating downstream in a one or two-seater raft, your guide will navigate these green waters to take you on a 75-minute journey through lush forest. You'll spot tropical plants and birds singing in the treetops as well as mangroves and palms swaying in the wind.

What's more, you'll learn the stories and legends surrounding this historic route, including local myths about a secret cave. Perfect for nature lovers and those wanting complete peace and tranquillity.

Driver was prompt and courteous. Raft master wanted to get to the finish as quickly as possible, overtaking other rafts so he could get back to the top for more customers. We were only on the raft for a maximum of 30 minutes. We saw no birds as the raft masters were shouting and making too much noise.

Mcneil was my Guide he was very informative and courteous towards my son and myself. A really relaxing raft down the river, with our guide talking us through aspects of the Jamaica, and the beautiful greenery that surrounds Martha Brae River. This rafting is calm and relaxing, when you sit on a raft which each guide has hand made out of bamboo. You pass 'put up shops' on the river, you can buy items from sellers (for cash) & don't feel pressured to buy. Remember to bring your water shoes

Driver picked up on time , our captain of our rafts were fantastic ! We had fun and a memorable experience! A must do when visiting Jamaica :)

Transport from Negril a bit too long. Bad organisation either from TUI or from the transport company. Waisted 20 minutes outside an hotel awaiting for people who did not turn up and then were sent to another hotel again no show up!! Needs to be addressed

Loved being able to swim in front of the raft. Truly magical.
