River Rafting/Tubing in Jamaica – Locations, Guides and Tour Operators
River Rafting is a must for new visitors to the island. There’s the slow (and mostly dry) ‘gondola’ type experience or there’s the fast-moving ‘whitewater’ rafting experience on inflatable rafts or tubes. Tour operators or local Guides are recommended for most waterfall adventures - See the list below…
The best locations for river rafting in Jamaica is as follows:
For a relaxing and romantic rafting excursion:
- Probably the most famous rafting tour in Jamaica is on the Martha Brae, a meandering river close to Falmouth (pictured on right)
- Start at “Rafter’s Village”, six acres of grounds that include manicured lawns, Miss Martha’s Herb Garden, picnic grounds, a full service bar, two souvenir shops, a swimming pool and modern restrooms
- A guide will pole you down 3 miles of quiet river on a 30 foot (9m) long bamboo raft
- Similar rafting tours are also available:
- Just west of Montego Bay on the Great River
- Just west of Port Antonio (at the east end of the island) on the Rio Grande river
For a more adventurous river rafting experience:
- Just east of Ocho Rios is the White River Valley where you can enjoy tubing and rafting down the fast moving White River
- You can also do some bird watching on a hike to some waterfalls
- Fast moving river rafting in also available on the Rio Bueno River, located in a valley between Ocho Rios and Falmouth
