Relaxing River Ride At Your Own Pace - We really enjoyed our 2.75 hour trip from MoBay including the hour-long rafting experience down the Martha Brae River. Raheem picked us up early and called us when he arrived at our hotel. It was private, just me and my spouse in the van, as promised, and we went directly there and back at our own pace--no waiting for others or having them wait for us. We had a pleasant conversation with our driver, Raheem, who told us what to expect. When we first arrived at the river, we entered an area with the ticket booth, a bar, bathrooms, and small shops. We had a free fruit punch (rum costs extra) while Raheem bought our rafting tickets. We then went back to the van so I could change into my swim wear, as I planned to go into the water. I felt perfectly safe leaving my valuables in the van. We then went to the rafting area where all the raft captains were waiting. We were assigned to Captain John's raft. Once we were on board, Captain John steered the raft while we sat back and enjoyed the ride, while asking him a lot of questions. The river started quite shallow, but got deeper as we went along. We saw a variety or trees, fruits, flowers and butterflies as we went along. There were occasional venders on shore, but never were we pressured to buy anything. John stopped to pick some Jamaican apples for us. They were delicious. We also asked him to stop to get fresh coconut water for USD $5/7000 Jamaican dollars.. Some locals were bathing in the river as we passed. Later John helped me into the 3 foot deep water cautiously due to my knee surgery 7 months ago. It was a refreshing relief from the May 90 degree heat. My spouse chose to stay high and dry on the raft wearing the life jacket. John told us that there are 97 captains, each whom built their own rafts. Some own three or more. At the end of our journey, Raheem met us with the van and he provided us with useful information about travel, shopping, and touring in Jamaica on our way back to the hotel. We were back before we knew it. I had been concerned about whether this experience would be appropriate for someone of my age (upper 60s) not in the best physical condition, and it was perfect!

SIMPLY AMAZING - My tour guide Hassani was absolutely amazing. He got us there safely, no crazy driving and switching lanes randomly. His vehicle was clean and extremely comfortable with leather seats, 2 sunroofs, conditioned air in the front and back, automatic doors, and to top it off....WIFI in the vehicle. He was very pleasant and knowledgeable about the city, culture, and history. As he was driving us through Jamaica he was good at pointing things out to us and educating us. He was so good we booked him privately as our tour guide the next day and he toon us to Negril. He showed us an amazing spot where we could pick live lobster and have it cooked in front of us. Let's just say, it was mind-blowing!!! From now on when we visit we will call and book him personally.
As far as the raft lol, it was nothin short of amazing, the ride was so peaceful and the locals are nice. Just be prepared go be asked to look at everyone's merchandise. Support local but don't feel pressured and always, always negotiate.

Must Do While In Jamaica! - Amazing experience! I have been to Jamaica before but I have never experienced the famous river rafting. It was beautiful. And Hassani was amazing. We felt very safe and secure driving with him and he was very well connected to other things to do during our stay as well. Great tour! And great driver/tour guide!
