Description
A short, 40-minute drive from Montego Bay brings you to the Martha Brae Rafter’s Village. After a welcome drink and a stroll through the medicinal herb garden, you’ll board a 30-foot bamboo raft. For over an hour, a licensed captain poles you three miles downstream through a lush tropical canopy. It’s a serene, romantic meander where you can swim, enjoy the wildlife, and learn local legends in total tranquility.

Lovely, lovely, experience
One of the best, most relaxing things we have ever done - sadly we did late on in the vacation, what a mistake. Meandering down the river on a comfortable raft. Great captain, told and showed us many things, really friendly took pictures of us. Totally recommend - do it EARLY in your break.

Rudy definitely Knows Jamaica!!
If you are looking for a private driver, photographer and body guard book with Rudy! He was always on time, gave us history, helped us get good prices and stayed with us during all activities. He even joined us for nightlife! We went on an ATV tour, waterfall hike at Dunns River, Bamboo rafting, lagoon tour, horseback riding and catamaran! He constantly checked in with us to make sure we were okay and had everything we needed! I highly recommend booking with Rudy!

Amazing Rafting
This is such an amazing experience. We were so relaxed being pulled along the river. We had the opportunity to buy some local fruit as we rode too. Definitely go for the full body massage!
