Float along Jamaica’s Great River on a handcrafted bamboo raft with guides such as Turbo, Pearson, Del, Bell, and Marlon.

“I thought it would be actual rafting as the title says. We drove about 300m in total. 2min ride, then stop, without info on what we're doing. mostly waiting for other guests getting their massages or offering you a drink for 30.- USD. This is just a show off event and not really an enjoyable experience. Its a shame.”
