What To Expect

Bamboo rafting is one of the most serene and scenic experiences you can enjoy in Jamaica. This activity allows visitors to glide along the island’s lush rivers while being guided by skilled raft captains. It’s a perfect blend of relaxation, cultural heritage, and natural beauty.
Bamboo rafting was originally used in Jamaica for transporting bananas from inland plantations to coastal ports. Over time, it evolved into a popular tourist attraction, offering travelers a unique way to explore the island’s tropical landscapes. The tradition was popularized by Hollywood actor Errol Flynn, who fell in love with the experience and helped turn it into a leisure activity.
• The Raft: Made of long bamboo stalks, the raft is about 30 feet long and can carry two passengers plus a raft captain, who steers with a long bamboo pole, Bamboo rafting in Jamaica is more than just a ride down a river—it’s a cultural and sensory journey for the entire family.

Frequently Asked Questions (8)

Q: Will I get seasick on Private Bamboo Rafting in Ocho Rios?

A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
