Martha Brae River Forsränning Tour

My husband and I went on this excursion while we were in Jamica last month. We left from Excellence Oyster Bay Resort which was 20 mins away. When we arrived at Martha's Brae we had to santize our hands first then we were given a little tour of the grounds. We were told were the bathroom, the bar and the gift shops were. We then had to wait what felt like a hour with our group because there was not enough captians to take our group on the river. My husband and I looked a the little garden that was there. We bought some souvenirs and bottle of water from the bar. We we then told to take a lift vest as they would be calling our group shortly.After waiting a few more minutes our group was finally called so now we had to walk outside of the gorunds to the parking lot take a left turn and walk down some step to where we get on the rafts. There was on guy helping each couple put on their lift vest and then another guy will help you get on the raft to seat. Our captin was Everton. He was vice freindly and made us feel safe while on the raft. He was very knowledgable about this particular area in Jamiaca. He told us that is was once a plantaion and that the rafts were used to transport goods to the bigger boats that were out at sea. He told us that the river leads into the sea. He told us that the river starts at 4 feet but goes up the 18 feet. He told us that on a nice day the water is very clear but because it rained the day before the water looks dark. He told us all the animals/fish that live in this river. He pointed out all the bamboo trees and banana trees on the edge of the river. He told us that the rafts last 6 months, The drive down the river was very claming/peacful and the scenery was beautiful. I would defintely recommend this trip. I am looking forward to doing it again but with our sons when we come back to Jamaica
