Amazing Guides - O'Shane and Jermaine were our guides for ziplining and they were superb. They practiced safety and kept us entertained. I felt safe from every landing to the next. Both these guys are AMAZING!!!!

Captain Marsh = AMAZING ! - I came to JA to celebrate my birthday and one of the many adventures I wanted to partake in was the bamboo rafting because I have never experienced it. I was greeted by "Captain Marsh", rum, and a speaker playing really good music. I already knew it was going to be a good time because is energy was infectious and positive. He made us feel very comfortable, gave us a slight history lesson with the bamboo fixtures, and cracked jokes the whole time. He is also an amazing 'photographer' because he got ALL MY ANGLES RIGHT!! Like I am in love with my pictures and videos. The tour was amazing, I will definitely be back and of course, recommend it to others- especially if they can get Captain Marsh. Thank you so much Captain, you are the absolute best :) xo

The Ultimate Experience - It was a great experience! We did the Ultimate experience booked through Nexus. Staff was friendly but do the paper work ahead of time if possible. Lockers available for $10. The Zipline guys were great Paul and Kerr. They made us feel safe and we had a great time! Had some great laughs along the way as well as a bit of education about the sensitive Plant. Bamboo raft was shorter than expected but good. They will try to sell you limestone at an exaggerated price. Go early probably a better experience we went end of day and it was a rushed experience. We also did the tubing experience this was my favorite part Owen was so much fun and he made the experience wonderful and memorable! Disappointed in prices in store $25 for insect repellant ! However you have no choice but to buy if you don’t bring your own mosquitos start biting as soon as you get off the bus. Photographer available but take your own photos and save the money. When we got photos we got duplicates and some were not the photos we chose. $65 for 15 photos.

No worries!!! - YEAH MAN if you go to Jamaica you have to come check and this place out!! The whole staff/ crew were amazing but Nick and Giovani were the real deal. Zip line was awesome and the tubing adventure was fun too. Be prepared to get wet!

safe & fun 10/10 - Kobie, Lavon and several others guided our ziplining tour. they made sure we were safe and had a lot of fun. be ready to hike a little bit but it’s all worth it at the end. I also did the bamboo rafting which was super relaxing. it came with a complimentary rum punch and music. it did start to rain during our tour but luckily our raft had an umbrella attached. our guide made sure he did as much as possible to keep us comfortable and make sure we still had a good time despite the rain. will be back next time i’m in Jamaica.

Bamboo Rafting Experience - The trip to and from the excursion was amazing. The experience getting taken around on a bamboo raft throughout the river was incredible, and the limestone massage was even better. All of the workers from the drivers, tour guides, and everyone at the excursion was very friendly and helpful. The pool and water slide was also very beautiful and fun.

Horrible Experience - I went with very high hopes but was extremely disappointed by this excursion. We booked through the resort so I was told I couldn’t be refunded. From the second we got on the raft the guide was mad we were Canadian because Canadians “tip bad”. He then forgot our cooler and had to turn around. He poured our drinks and didn’t have a non alcoholic option for me. He seemed irritated to have to do my massage and talked my partner out of getting a massage because he was a man. We didn’t learn anything during the tour like we were promised. At the end he handed us an empty cooler and said “I hand it to you empty, when I take it back I open it and there will be money in it”. Will never ever return.
