I went rafting on the Martha Brae River. It was a cool and relaxing experience. The bamboo rafts were enough adventure for me. There is not much to see (scenery) or do while rafting but the tour guides try to make it eventful with the stories or allowing you to steer the raft. The experience needs to be better developed...

we loved the peaceful and slow pace of this trip, we heard all kinds of birds and even saw some turtles. However before and after the raft are small shops which they try to get you to buy. best advice is only take money for drinks with you More

This made for a good day out. We got the raft and for an hour or 2 we lazily drifted down the river with our raft guide ensuring we went the right way. We wanted a drink on the trip, there are families who see drinks on the riverside, and he asked if we could go a bit further down... More

The raft ride down the river was beautiful and wonderful thanks to Edgar, our raft Captain. Would definetely do this again...the only down side was how pushy the vendors are at the launch site. Definetely check out Martha's herb garden! More

Good excursion. Our guide Jamison was great. Took us on a very leisurely 1 1/2 hour trip down the river. Was very entertaining to talk to and very knowledgeable about the plants and animals we encountered along the way. Our bus guide to and from the river was also very nice. The only downfall to this excursion is the stop... More

We just returned from our first trip to Jamaica and have to say that our river rafting trip with Martha Brae River group was the highlight of our vacation. If you're looking for something that's both relaxing and gives you a first hand view of the flora and fauna of Jamaica, this is the excursion for you. Our guide, Jimmy,... More

We did the Martha Brae river rafting and it was awesome. It is a 3 mile trip on a bamboo raft for 2 down the river. You get to see the natural beauty of the river and all it has to offer.We saw baby crabs and their homes in the river banks, cotton trees, baby shrimp jumping in the water,... More
