Go see Hylton and raft down the Martha Brae!

My friend and I loved our experience rafting down the Martha Brae, with our guide, #96 Captain Hylton! He was friendly, knowledgable, and so pleasant. He even got in a picture with us, and he didn't hesitate to take solo photos of us! We even got to see his coconut artwork and learn about limestone's healing properties for my sunburn! LOL. Thank you, Hylton, for showing us amazing hospitality and a great river ride!

Great peaceful experience

Great experience. We paid $99 per raft which holds 2 people and you have a raft captain who guides you down the 3 mile river. There is jerk chicken being sold on site as well as a gift shop and a bar for drinks at the end. The 3 mile trip was very peaceful and relaxing and the captain is very informative about each section

Great time

Had a lovely time, and Blake #112 was the best guide for our experience. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and had some great pieces of handmade artwork. The only reason the water was a little brown.. is that it was raining in the mountains. It was clearer when we first arrived. Make sure to go.. you will have a wonderful time.

Highly Recommended!!

We booked a private transfer that picked us up from the hotel. The experience was amazing! Tranquil and picturesque as we passed through the river in the shade. Our guide was friendly, but not overly talkative, which we appreciated. He just let us sit back and enjoy the views and the ride. The line was long when we first got there, but it moved quickly. I hit recommend this excursion. It was amazing!

Beautiful environs on river rafting trip!

Our captain McLeod was wonderful. What a fantastic adventure. I was casted at the time of the visit and I had no fear of getting my cast wet. I even got a lime foot massage. Well on the raft going down the river. We saw great wildlife on our way down the river. All of our expectations were fulfilled.
