A definite must if you want an hour or so to totally unwind! - This is such a beautiful, tranquil tour. You glide along on the hand made rafts listening to nothing other than the birds singing, water splashing and some occasional history talks from your guide.
Our guide was great and he mostly allowed us to relax but would answer questions and tell us the odd fact as we floated along.
My only negative was that stereos should be banned! This is quite a short tour and isn’t overly cheap. I’d say the majority of people book for the tranquil experience. However, we passed two rafts of women (together) who were smoking weed, had loud music blaring out of a speaker and were exceptionally loud! We ended up spending a good ten minutes of our tour floating alongside them, before our guide moved us on a little quicker! I’m all for everyone enjoying themselves, but for us, the noise ruined the experience a little!

Perfect - My family and I had an incredible time doing this activity. It was my husband and I as well as 3 of our kids, all teens, 2 girls 1 boy. We got 3 rafts and all had an amazing trip. The tour guides were very informative and funny. We got some awesome souvenirs made with local calabash. At the end there is a little shop and restaurant and the jerk chicken wings there were the best jerk chicken I had on the whole island. I sat and talked with the owner for a few minutes and he was so nice. This is a great activity for couples or families, I highly recommend. We went early in the morning so it wasn't busy at all and the temperature outside was perfect.

Second time ❤️ - We had an absolutely wonderful day enjoying the delightful activity of Martha Brae rafting. Our esteemed host Damion, exemplified the utmost professionalism with his courteous and polite demeanor, ensuring that our rafting experience was truly memorable. Along the scenic river, we had the opportunity to purchase towels and garments from the charming shops, adding to the overall enjoyment of our excursion. Moreover, the delectable taste of the rum cake was simply astounding. We eagerly anticipate the chance to return to this remarkable place in the future. Thank you for providing us with such a splendid and professionally conducted outing while we were in Jamaica

Shaded rafting on a refreshingly cool river - Raft guide shared knowledge of flora & fauna as we swam, relaxed, ate snacks, and chatted with a few vendors on the river banks. Low water levels at this time of year meant the raft took ~45 minutes to run the course. Scenery was green, lush, quiet & relaxing despite the road running alongside the river. Water was cool & refreshing on a hot & muggy Jamaican day.

Was it worth the wait? - The driver and raft captain (124) were excellent. The wait at the actual venue was way too long. Pricing was a bit high and differed from booking site to booking site

Don't go there if you want a fun trip - This experience dulls in comparison to Lethe on the Great River. It was a long drive from Princess Grand for a dull, boring ride down the river. No music, plain unappealing rafts and our raft captain was a bore. Had nothing interesting to say. I had a great time at Lethe and I was told by friends that Mayfield is also good. Save your money for a better experience. At the end of the ride their is a kitchen but we were all so disappointed we didn't stay to try the food. We went to Scotchies which is bad, bad jamaican food.
