Aventura en Jamaica: rafting en bambú, playa de Negril y puesta de sol de Rick

The drive is long, but 7-mile beach and Rick's are worth it. Our driver told us about Jamaican and Rastafarian culture on the way. On the return trip, he played some awful rap music videos featuring gangsters firing automatic weapons and f-word threats. I asked him to turn it off and he did. Didn't fit the "One Love" vibe he'd discussed earlier! It was not a private tour, but we happened to be the only ones on our day.

First, I want too say I love Jamaica and everyone is nice but me and my husband really don’t know how to feel about this experience. Second, I am currently writing this review at my resort right after returning. Third, all fees and taxes were not included. My first concern, the reservation changed a day before from 2PM to 11AM. I already had activities planned before they I had to cancel. I tried to negotiate to see if they would pick me up at a different time and they responded last minute. 11AM is here and our tour guide Reno asked us where our towels were and we stated we didn’t need one and he said it was mandatory so he took us to a gift shop. The staff at the gift shop was following us the entire time pressing us to buy things we got our towels told us one price but charged my card another. We meet our rafter at the bamboo rafting spot his name is England. England took us too a spot where there was music and a bar. When we arrived he directed us to a garden where there were photographers they told me to take a picture and asked if I wanted it for $40, I declined. The bar overcharged our drinks. There were other rafts and tourists who rafting there with us and we ended up being the first ones to leave. On the way back he asked us if we wanted a massage but never mentioned any extra charges. He also stated that he was going to get a female for my husband but it was a little girl. Something I definitely did not want to see. When they we were finished we tipped them and then said told us that the massage was $40 per person. That was not stated on this reservation. When we left, our tour guide Reno was laying on the vehicle we couldn’t find him at first. On the way too Negril, Reno introduced us to the seven mile beach but did not stop he said he had knew another spot called Negril Tree House. The cashier there told us it was $10 admission fee to access the beach pool drinks and food. We thought the beach and Ricks Cafe was at the same spot. We took a look around and didn’t really enjoy it much, it’s just not what we expected. We left no longer than 10 minutes. I asked Reno why the admission wasn’t included in the reservation and he stated that “you have to pay to go on all the beaches”. We enjoyed our time at Ricks Cafe I participated in jumping off the cliff, my husband got in the water. We left at 11AM and got back at 7PM. England was cool I still gave him a tip, i just don’t like how I wasn’t informed of the extra charges/services.

I've gone rafting on the Lethe River before, but this time was truly the best! It felt like a real local gem, away from the tourist crowds. I wasn't rushed to finish my rafting experience or pressured to buy anything; I could simply enjoy the moment. The natural scenery along the river was beautiful, and our raft guide Josh and his uncle were fantastic. The foot massages were heavenly! A big thanks to my driver Andre, who was also wonderful. If I could rate this trip a 10/10, I absolutely would!

This experience was great. The attendant did a fantastic job with the limestone massage. It made my skin so soft and smooth. I would highly recommend this tour.

Ricardo was my guide for the day & he was FANTASTIC 🤩 This was my 1st time in Jamaica and I did this tour solo, so it felt very customizable. I would say my fav part of the tour was the beach at Negril & Ricks Cafe. Both were very memorable and I got some great photos at both locations. It’s a long day but worth it. Ricardo was very professional, helped answered all my questions, made recommendations & it felt hassle free. I fell asleep on the ride back to my hotel at MoBay and felt safe with Ricardo at the wheel. He was such a great guide & person I ended up booking him for my ride back to the airport. Don’t hesitate to book with M&M, you won’t regret it 🏖️ 🇯🇲

Great experience, I was very well treated and served. I would like to thank Ricardo very much for the trust he gave me throughout the trip.

Everything was wonderful ! 10 out of 10 ! Again, Davion was a wonderful tour guide ! We was able to see the sunset at Ricks’s cafe and jump off the cliff.
