After collecting you from your Montego Bay area hotel, we’ll first visit Lethe Rafting Village where you can sit back, relax and float along the Great River in the heart of the Jamaican countryside. You'll also have the option of a limestone foot massage. Surrounded by wildlife and lush vegetation, you’ll glide on a majestic bamboo raft through the jungle where your Raft Captain will tell you all about local plants, animals, and the area’s historical significance. During the hour-long ride, you can get on and off the raft as you please to swim in the river’s calm and crystal-clear waters and experience a natural foot rub using limestone paste made from the river rocks, locally known as 'jungle socks'.
