Relaxing

It wasn't what I thought it was but it was nice( friends booked) It was a relaxing trip down the river . Our guide told us about the river and area . You could still see damage from Hurricane. The water is so clear though. We got a clay massage on our legs & feet . All the guides were so friendly.

White river bamboo rafting

I don’t like to leave a bad review, however it was definitely not worth the money ($160). It was not much to it. There was nothing really to see and most of all it was less than 45 mins on the raft. We are really disappointed with this excursion.

Operator response

Thank you for sharing with the world the experience you’ve had. First let’s get this clear, the raft guide informed me that you did not want to participate in anything else on the ride so you cannot say there’s nothing to do or see, please tell the people that you were not interested in these activities. The money you paid includes raft fees and transportation, no one rubbed you of your money. Tour duration in the description says 1 hour and 30 mins which includes transportation and raft ride time, it did not say raft ride is and hour and 30 mins. These reviews are misleading, travelers can ask questions when they are booking a tour and don’t fully understand the description Your respectfully JAMOY CLARKE

This was our first excursion and it did not disappoint! Pros: -The driver was prompt, informative and funny. -Our captain was chill, the water and river were beautiful. - The ride is what you make it, they have a speaker you can connect to. Our raft had chill vibes but the other raft that was out had party vibes -Ample opportunity for pics, they even let us be the captain. - There was no rush we sailed to the beach and stayed at least an hour, probably longer before we headed back. Tips: - They will offer you fresh coconuts and limestone massages, ask for the prices before you say yes. - There were guys with jet skis trying to get us to do it, we initially ignored them, however once we did talk to them they weren’t aggressive and had very reasonable prices. We ended up doing the jet skis and it was incredible! Considering the price, jet skis might have been the best excursion of the whole trip. -Be sure to have cash for a tip. -Once we boarded the bus there was a very aggressive vendor who even got on the bus to try to sell to us so just be prepared. Overall five stars, I would definitely recommend!

Pass this up

Not worth the money. You go maybe 1000 ft down the river. You have to tip to go on a tire swing. Pass on this one. There's garbage everywhere.

Nice and Easy Excursion

Pickup was on time even though we were 45 minutes away. Driver (Jason) was funny and told us history during the drive. The river was quiet and brown, but the raft cruising was relaxing and enjoyable. The total raft cruise takes roughly 20 minutes and you can purchase drinks and food from the riverside vendors. Our tour guide’s stick snapped so we had to be rescued by another raft operator which was funny and extended the time on the river. Overall a fun experience and nothing too crazy!
