Excellent experience - Owen our driver was amazing. Very nice and friendly! Made sure we were extremely well taken care of and all of our needs were met. This was a great experience for a first time Jamaica vacationer!

Enjoyable Trip - We were originally deciding between a couple of companies to book this trip, but chose this one as they were very efficient at replying to my messages and answering my queries. They were also very accomodating when we enquired about changing the date we had originally booked only a couple of days before we were due to go! Word of warning, be careful as some companies advertise this trip but when you check the details you're only paying for the transfers there and not the actual rafting! This company included everything. Our drivers name was Owen and he was amazing, very attentive during our excursion and extremely helpful afterwards, in locating shops for my daughter to purchase certain items she required. He even paid for them in the local currency (we only had US$) to ensure we got the best price, then allowed us to reimburse him in $. We really appreciated his kind assistance! I would definitely book with this company again :))

Nice and Different! For the good memories! - Took us about 45-1h each way. The road can get a little bumpy. The driver was nice and explained some of the history and extra info while on the way. Most people were kind and friendly. Our Captain Fisher was nice too. The ride down the river + foot massage + up river took about 1h. We thought it was enough to enjoy. We really enjoyed doing this activity. We did it around 10am, not crowded at all, but by the time we returned, there were a lot of people getting ready for the rides. So, I would recommend doing in the early AM.
