Laid back fun - Transportation was great. Our driver was really fun to talk to and gave us lots of local Information. The rafting was relaxing. There were lots of birds and beautiful trees to see. Our raft captain was not very talkative, but pointed out a few things here and there. Overall, it was a fun trip.

Much Needed Relaxation - Rock Wayne was great tour guide very friendly and share info about the route. He taught how to steer the raft. We both got the limestone foot massage and he shared information about that as well. It was such a relaxing experience. I would definitely recommend.

Peaceful, Not Crowded, Worthwhile - One of the best experiences in the Montego Bay Area. We had a car so we purchased a ticket directly from the Martha Brae website. We parked the car at the base end of the river tour and we were brought up to the start of the river by the company. Since we were not on a tour bus schedule, our raft captain took the trip for us very slowly (1.5hrs+). We brought our own beer, but they also sell rum and beer at the place and will put your drinks on ice for your ride down the river. It was surprisingly not busy so the raft ride was very peaceful. Would recommend this tour if your are in the area.

Must Do - The Bamboo Rafting tour was breathtakingly beautiful and relaxing. Captain Bunny was great at storytelling and a historian. He allowed us to row the raft which enhanced our experience and was a lot of fun. We would highly recommend this tour and would do it again.
