Rafting on the Martha Brae from Montego Bay

St James 4 hours

Board a uniquely Jamaican 30-foot (9-m) bamboo raft and glide down the scenic Martha Brae River. Spend your day comfortably rafting this 3-mile (4.8-km) river, learning historical legends of Martha Brae, and jumping in the warm Jamaican water along the way.

Your excursion begins in Rafter's Village, a 6-acre (3.6-ha) town with picnic grounds, a full bar, swimming pool, restrooms, and a souvenir shop. When you're ready, sit back in a relaxing 2-seat bamboo raft and enjoy a tropical rum punch cocktail as you set off down the Martha Brae.

Throughout this 1-hour journey, your knowledgeable guide explains the river's history, legends, and myths. Soak up the sun and learn about the abundance of wildlife that flock to the river's scenic banks. If you want to cool off, jump into the refreshing river water and swim alongside the raft.

At the end of your experience, enjoy lunch (Meals and Drinks not Included) at one of Jamaica's Jerk Restaurants enjoying the delicious meal with a cold Redstripe Beer or Tropical Fruit Punch before returning to your hotel or the cruise port with a heart filled with Jamaica!
