Me and my hubby booked... - Me and my hubby booked with Coopa tours for River Rafting and Horseback riding. Our driver A (I am so sorry I can’t remember her name) was awesome! She made sure we made it safely and gave us a great educational tour while headed to our destination. Michael assisted us with river rafting and what can I say? He welcomed us with open arms and was very respectful. We will definitely visit Jamaica again and hope to book witj this company again! 10/10

Amazing service from Shadow and Courtney - We booked the excursion which included transportation and it was amazing. Even though we visited the island two weeks after the hurricane everyone was in great/ uplifting spirits. Both our rafting guide (Shadow) and our driver (Courtney) were very welcoming and made us feel very comfortable and safe. I’d highly recommend booking with Coopa tours if you are traveling to Ocho Rios!

Great Excursion and Experience! - It was wonderful and relaxing. Our driver, Michael was awesome - he gave us a running commentary on the sights as we were driving to the site. I am very sorry I can’t remember our rafting operator’s name, but he was awesome and truly funny! We had a lot of fun on our trip. Everyone at Coopa Tours was very nice and welcoming.

Best bamboo rafting in Jamaica - We went with a fabulous driver and tour operator Cooper of Coopers travel for Jamaica. Cooper picked us up in an extremely clean air con car and was very helpful, friendly and informative. Excellent driver and definitely made the trip memorable. Will definitely book through this gentleman again, highly recommend him. The bamboo rafting was amazing and would definitely do it again. If you are wanting a relaxing , chilled out activity then this is the trip for you! Shadow was the young gentleman that took us down the river and he was excellent too!

Jamaica Ocho Rios Tour Experience - We had such an amazing experience in Ocho Rios! Our chauffeur and guide Desmond made the whole day smooth, fun, and unforgettable. We went river rafting and horse riding with friends, and everything was well-organised from start to finish. The rafting was so peaceful and relaxing, while the horse ride through the water was such a unique and exciting adventure. Our guide was friendly, professional, and made sure we were comfortable the whole time. He shared a lot of knowledge about Jamaica, and his hospitality really stood out. Highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Ocho Rios!

Peaceful experience w/ beautiful views - Overall this was a positive experience. We went at the end of the day, so we had the whole river to ourselves basically. Very peaceful and calming. The water is beautiful and you can observe some wildlife on the trip (mostly birds). Our rafter was very conversational and accommodated our requests to take pictures of us, which I appreciated

Amazing Rafting Experience - Be careful with the bot agents address instructions if you book online. They gave us the wrong address which took us an hour out of our way. Other than that, the actual rafting experience was really amazing. It's pricey but I felt it was worth it for the once in a lifetime experience. The scenery, our captain, the rafting. 10 out of 10
