A Relaxing Option
This was a great experience. Our driver was amazing. He gave us a guided tour as we drove to the rafting location and provided information on what to expect during the rafting experience. Our bamboo rafting guide was Shadow and he did an amazing job. He also provided great information about the Ocho Rios area. The massage was relaxing and he played our preferred genre of music. Safety was Shadow's top priority during this experience. When the rafting experience was complete, our driver provided time for shopping and lunch. We were very relaxed during this tour and it didn't take 5 hours like most tours.

Bombastic
My first time in Ocho Rios, and one of the activities was bamboo rafting with Coppa Tours. Our driver was Courtney, he showed up in time and cared for us whole time by making us feeling safe and welcomed. We did an 1h of bamboo rafting with Shadow, while on tour he made sure that we were protected, he kept us entertained and engaged with his sense of humour and free expression. I really enjoyed this experience and look forward to seeing them in the future.
