BOOK NOW!!! - OJAY OJAY OJAYYYY that’s all i can say !!! That man was the highlight of my trip!! He deserve nothing but the best . He was awesome!!! & when i say awesome i mean it . The reviews were right! You will love this man the moment you step foot in the van. He was full of life, very informative, a great personality & it wasn’t about the money . You can tell he love his job. He took us to stop & get beef patties , took us by the best place that cooks Jerk chicken & my goddddd was it the BEST , took us to a gift shop so we can shop & he was very patient . But the Bamboo activity itself was great as well . The men that give the massage were awesome !!! Everyone here is just so nice & sweet . They inform us about their plants , food, their families it’s just a great experience. One thing i would note about the massage tho is that a full body massage was not included it was an additional $60 pp unless they were just trying to get extra money from us.. knee down is what's complementary but other than that GREATTTTTTT i believe our massage men names were Shawn & Darius . They are cousins SOOOO SWEET. Rick’s cafe was ok , it was not packed when we went so i was able to jump off the cliff twice & head out . I really wish OJAY nothing but the best in life !! I can’t thank that man enough of how great of a person he is!!! You would think yall are family the way he takes care of you!

He passionate for the water and nature really showed. Taught us a few things about the island and the different trees and things.

Great Birthday Experience - I highly recommend requesting Ojay as your driver for rafting. He was respectful and informative of the area. Ojay made stops along the way for photos and put our safety first. The rafting was calming and the limestone was amazing on the skin.

Bamboo Rafting over Rick's Cafe - Bamboo Rafting was awesome! Too many bees to deal with at Rick's Cafe and the food is subpar. My 2nd visit there, it was even worse.

FANTASTIC - From beginning to end our day was FANTASTIC! Ojay was the best driver/tour guide, taking us to places we didn't even know we got to see. Including to Juici Patties for some yummy food. Darien and Sean the bamboo boat guides were also great. So sweet and personable. Loved the limestone massage too. Definitely recommend all of it.

10 out of 10 experience - The experience was very enjoyable from the time our driver (Ojay) picked us up from the resort to the excursions. I will definitely recommend having OJay to anyone needing a tour around Jamaica. Cash is highly recommended for buying drinks, hookahs, souvenirs. etc.

Bamboo Rafting Tour - This was the best excursion that I’ve done while in Jamaica. Our tour guide named OJ was the best tour guide we had on this trip. He was very kind and taught us about the history of Jamaica. He is such an amazing person with a pure heart. He took his time with us and showed us historical places. This is an experience I’ll never forget. Thank you OJ.

Good excursion but… - So the beginning of our excursion started off bumpy. We were told that our pick up would be at 9 AM. We were in the lobby waiting at 9 AM, but no one showed up. I called and texted multiple times until 9:30 AM when someone finally responded and said he Informed us that he told us our pick up changed to 10 AM. Which is not true because when we spoke, he was on speakerphone and there were three people listening… no one heard him say 10 AM. We ended up getting picked up at 10:20 AM because of car issues. The first stop was bamboo rafting, which was supposed to be 90 minutes. I would recommend that they change who they do bamboo rafting with because it was a terrible experience. First of all, I fell in the water(super embarrassing) because they had us walking across several moving rafts to get into our raft. Thank God I didn’t injure myself but I can’t say the next person won’t. We thought the rafting would be a peaceful experience down the river but instead, it was super crowded to the point that we kept bumping into other rafts and there were multiple vendors selling on the side. Most of the 90 minutes was spent sitting on the side of the river on the raft so not really a true 90 minutes of rafting. And our rafting guide was too busy trying to feel up my sister to even give me a massage. The only reason I give four stars is because the second half was better. Our guide OJ was great. Very personable and funny. He made several stops for authentic beef patties, ice and jerk chicken(beware it’s $10 USD for a quarter with no sides but it was some of the best jerk chicken I’ve had!) And made sure we were back to our resort in the time we requested. The stop at Ricks Café was also great. Again, it was a good excursion, but they should switch what bamboo rafting “company” they use.
