Great adventure! - Rafting down the river was so calm and peaceful. The total distance covered was 3 miles. The scenery was beautiful. Saw some wildlife. Learned about the history of the river and some of the abandoned buildings along the bank. The most memorable part was when Captain Clive invited my 14 year daughter to paddle the raft. It was an adventure. Harder than it appears, the bamboo stick was very heavy. The water was cool and surprisingly clear. Captain invited us to sit along the edge and dip our feet into the water. Definitely recommend this. To be honest, I didn't think I would enjoy it It turned out to be the highlight of our trip!

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!
