We had Dwaine as our driver amazing respectful fun very knowledgeable 5 stars for him two thumbs up.
We had Dwaine as our personal driver and he was absolutely amazing. His communication was clear and transparent from start to finish. As we were driving, he shared the history of Jamaica with us, which made the experience even more special. He was kind enough to stop for a bathroom break on the way to Rick’s Café, and even took us to a local restaurant so we could enjoy some authentic Jamaican food during the long drive.
Dwaine was respectful, knowledgeable, and genuinely friendly—he answered all our questions and made us feel comfortable the entire time. His driving skills were top-notch. Two thumbs up for Dwaine! When we visit Jamaica again, we’d love to have him as our driver.
Operator response
Hi Terrence, thank you for leaving a wonderful feedback about yourexperience. We will let Dwaine know of your great remarks!! Anytime your in JAMAICA feel free to request Dwaine. We're happy we could accommodate you both. Take care! And keep safe!

Late
Be ready for the driver to show up one hour late
And be ready to pay $25 to get on river rafting
Driver was nice and friendly!
Make sure you msg them and ask for the pick up time
They were calling me and was trying to say ohh but you’re pick up time is at 11:30 which was not true.
I’d definitely not book with them again!
Operator response
Sir you are very dishonest, your were emailed and texted, you were BREIFED of what to expect from start to finish! However, you did not acknowledge any of our efforts to reach you. VERY VERY POOR communication on your part, and then you came to leave a 2 star review while saying the driver was nice! Wow! It's ok though Sir, a company who values its customers will encounter persons like yourself, taking out problems on others. Stay safe Denis!

Our Driver was the best!!!
This was a great experience! Our driver, Shawn, made us feel right at home! He was very professional and polite and waited patiently on us at each stop and he even took us to a local restaurant on the way because we mentioned we wanted some authentic Jamaican food!!! He also stopped and let us take pictures! The limestone rafting was awesome as well! Jay , my rafter, gave me all the history of the area and the massage was wonderful! Rick’s Cafe was nice as well - drinks were a little pricey but the atmosphere was great!

River Raftinb & Ricks Cafe
Great trip and great way to see multiple locations in one day. Ricks cafe is awesome. Mark was a great driver and did not make the time at our locations feel rushed. Would recommend to those who want to experience rafting/limestone massage and ricks cafe in one day!

Was ok
Was ok… felt very rushed. I understand the commute between Ricks and the river where the rafting was was vast, but we didn’t spend as much time as possible on each excursion. Most of the time on the excursion we were riding in a van. The driver was great however! I think more time needs to be accommodated for the actual experiences.

It was a decent experience for the price,
Everything was decent about the service, very courteous and helpful ppl. The drive is longer that the raft ride but made sure to go at a comfortable pace.

Looonng day due to distance
This is an all day excursion (9/10 hours) and most of the time is spent traveling to the destinations. We absolutely loved the rafting and learning about their community. Rick's Cafe is definitely a party/tourist spot. Food was good. Traffic to get to Negril was horrible due to a huge pothole in the road. My only negative is Wains Adventure sent this little van to pick up our party of 6. We were cramped in this little van for at least 6 hours. Very uncomfortable. Our driver, Shane, was nice and polite but pretty quiet. Answered questions but didn't offer much information during our 6 hours in the van. Shane was a very safe driver and did his best to avoid the bumps/holes in the road. This is a good tour, just be prepared to spend about 10 hours on this excursion due to the travel distance.
Operator response
Hi Valerie, thank you for your feedback and were glad you enjoyed the Rafting. But your information is a bit off as we believe in honesty. That particular day the road was being fixed which is why it caused the traffic, how could the company prevent this? This Excursion is NOT 10hrs, and I hope this doesn't throw off the audience with the misinformation you provided. The van is a 7 seater and your party is 6 persons. Again thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, we really appreciate it. We hope you all continue to keep safe.

Dewayne our driver was 10/10
Dewayne, was so sweet and attentive. He made sure we arrived to our destination safe and in a timely manner. People were driving very crazy around us. But, he remained so calm and professional. I highly recommend Dewayne 10/10! The Lethe community was a beautiful. So nice to see communities work together. The rafting was nice. Wish we could’ve went further down the river. Bring cash. If you need souvenirs…buy them here. They were much cheaper than our resort and the airport. Rick’s cafe was fun me. I love good music and to watch ppl have fun. The girls were twerking and I was hyping them up. There will be girls in bathing suits twerking the night away. So be mindful if it’s not your thing. The overall experience was amazing.
