Overview

This tour is very interesting and exciting. It takes you along a scenic portion of the river. Your Raft Captain does not only pilot the raft but he is a performer in his own rights. He displays and teaches the latest reggae dance moves. He is very knowledgeable about the many trees and shrubs along the river banks. He explains their local medicinal, domestic and industrial usages. The local Fisher folks provide fresh catch to the restaurants and passersby. The clarity of the river is generally very good so you get to see different types of fishes and elusive indigenous birds along the banks. This tour gives you a chance to relax, unwind and enjoy the beauty and tranquility of nature while getting a feel of the " Island Life". You can also get a soothing therapeutic limestone leg massage if you desire.

What's Included

  • Bottled water

    Meeting and Pickup

    Pickup point
    Pickup details

    We will be in the vicinity of the meeting point by the Island Village Main Entrance, where the Turtle Beach Road intersect the Ocho Rios Main Street by the Harbour Shop. At times we will be assisting with the holding up of the sign board. As soon as a traveler recognize the sign board, they come to us and we take them aside to a designated holding area a few feet away. I will either be by the holding area or by the sign. I will also have proper identification suspending around my neck and wearing white top and dark coloured bottom.

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

    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
