Itinerary
After pickup from your hotel, receive a quick safety briefing. Then, take a short walk through the jungle to Irie Bridge, the launching point for your adventure. Pick a tube, hop on, and get whisked away by the current.
Ride your tube through the river's twists, turns and rapids. Pause for a break under a stand of bamboo trees, relax on the river bed and try out the rope swing. Jump back on your tube and run some more small rapids before being whisked under an old stone bridge.
At the river delta, paddle a bit to make it over the last rapids and land at Bengal Bay's white-sand shores. After the adrenaline-filled adventure, relax on the bay's sandy beach and bask in the tropical sun—or take the opportunity to do some more swimming.
This half-day tour ends with drop-off back at your hotel.

We had a great time celebrating my nephew's birthday on this excursion. Our driver, Green, was funny and informative. He told us Jamaican history on the trip to the river, then quizzed us like "Cash Cab" on the way back lol. He even stopped so we could get food and souvenirs away from the resort.
Davian, our guide at the river, made sure we had fun. He told us more facts about Jamaica and the river and answered all of our questions. I enjoyed bantering with him lol. He definitely made the experience what it was for us. A great experience was had!

Very fun experience. It was a good mix of relaxing and excitement. My 3rd grader and 6th grader had a great time.

We very much enjoyed this river tubing ride. There were 8 of us in our group, 2 seniors, 4 adults and 2 seven years old boys. We were on a Disney cruise and this was my favorite excursion of the trip. It Was very safe and every one of us laughed and completely enjoyed the ride. Our guide was Dwayne and he took good care of us. I feel bad that I forgot to tip him, he was the best!

Our driver and our tour guide had the same name (to differentiate the two).
Our private driver, Duane, was very friendly and professional. There was a miscommunication with pickup location between the company and I, but all was corrected and the 45 min drive from MoBay was pleasant. He gave us some history, was willing to accommodate stops and let us enjoy our experience with no rush.
Our guide down the river, DeWayne, was amazing! This was a wonderful experience for my teen son and I. The spring water was beautiful, blue, calm, and so clean. DeWayne was very professional, made us feel safe, and made the journey through Rio Bueno fun. He offered to take videos and photos throughout, shared some history/knowledge if the land, and let us swim and swing from a rope. It was lovely ending at Bengal Bay beach to just relax. There were showers and clean bathrooms there to wash off and get dressed. I highly recommend this company and this tour. I would do it again and again.

Great time floating down the river. Dre helped us through the river and we had a great time. The rafting to the beach was quite further then we anticipated but still fun. We got to do the swing rope as well.
Krystle_L, Jul 2026
Had a great time with my husband and two children, age 11 and 9. Earl kep up safe, laughing, and learning during our trip down the river.
Christian_X, Jul 2026
Very fun experience. It’s short but it’s perfect for a quick getaway that doesn’t take up the whole day. Was out by breakfast time and back by lunch. Our guide, Errol, was funny, pleasant, knowledgeable and made the whole group feel safe. Especially with kids in our group. Highly recommend for a quick excursion.

My friend and I have nothing but a glowing review for this excursion of river tubing on 7/10/26. Michael was our tour guide for the excursion and he was an absolutely amazing river tubing guide! He was informative, professional, patient, and kind throughout the entire experience. As someone who can’t swim, I was a little nervous at first, but he made us feel completely safe and comfortable in the water from beginning to end.
He took his time with us, answered questions, and made sure everyone was having a great experience. He also took some fantastic photos for us, which made the trip even more memorable. His confidence and skill in the water were obvious, and it really added to our sense of security during the excursion.
Michael is actually a lifeguard, so he’s an excellent swimmer and an outstanding tour guide. I would recommend him 1000% to anyone doing river tubing and would absolutely suggest requesting him as your guide if possible. Especially if you are not a strong swimmer, like myself. Thank you, Michael, for helping make our trip so enjoyable and memorable!
BEWARE: Let me be clear that what I’m about to share is completely ASIDE from the actual excursion itself. This should not deter you from the company, but this is to make the company aware of an untrustworthy driver they trusted with their business transportation. However, I do need to report and state the account of sexual harassment that I unfortunately faced by the driver that the excursion company booked us with for transport to and from the excursion.
His social media handle is @JCislandtours on TikTok and Instagram. His WhatsApp number is: +1 (876) 254-8212. This is the direct number that he used to sexually harass me while he was still working and responsible for our transportation. Due to the unbelievably grotesque and adult mature content of the comment he made, I will censor the word he texted me. JCislandtours sexually harassed me on 7/10/26 from his business WhatsApp number: +1 (876) 254-8212 while still on the job during our time the excursion and said: “seems like your co**chie is too f*t for your bikini can only cover it partially”.
I did not respond because I immediately felt unsafe. We were two females traveling alone in Jamaica for the first time, and at that moment we were still dependent on him for transportation back to our resort. I was afraid to address the situation while we were still in his care because I was concerned that it could put us in a vulnerable position or affect our ability to safely return.
I have picture evidence of the driver’s face, his company uniform, and the inappropriate message he sent before deleting it. After deleting the original message, he also continued contacting me by texting “hey” after he had already dropped us off, which made me feel that the behavior was continuing even after the transportation portion of the excursion had ended.
I am bringing this matter forward formally so that management is aware and can address this situation appropriately. Transportation was arranged through this excursion company, and we trusted the company to provide a safe and professional experience from beginning to end. While the excursion itself was wonderful because of our guide Michael, the driver’s actions made us feel uncomfortable, unsafe, and vulnerable during a portion of our experience.
I am willing to provide the available evidence and additional details needed for management to review this matter. Travelers, beware, especially if you are a female traveling alone or without a trusted male presence with you on your trip.

Wonderful time tubing down the river and enjoying the beach. Staff were very friendly and knowledgeable! Highly recommend the jerk chicken!
Trinity_M, Jul 2026
Our experience was amazing! Davian is an excellent tour guide. he made sure we were safe the entire time during the excursion and even gave us fun facts about the Island. definitely recommend!!!
Maurice_H, Jun 2026
The tubbing was 10/10 ..water was cold and we seen people in their everyday life at the lake ..playing and diving in .. definitely was relaxing at times , have water proof phone case
Chelsea_C, Jun 2026
We loved this river tubing experience with our kids (ages 4 and 6). It was a perfect outing for them. We left our hotel after breakfast and were back in time for a late lunch. The company was super responsive and let us change dates when our plans changed, our driver was friendly and made an extra stop for us and our guide was fantastic. Would definitely do it again!
carol_m, Jun 2026
The meeting point was not clear and we were directed to different meeting areas. When we finally made it to the river the guide was amazing and friendly. We felt like we were in good hands.

First off, I was staying at Airbnb but the driver refused to pick me up from there. So, I had to walk 10 minutes to the nearby hotel, which was a 2 minute drive from my Airbnb. This was after I put my location in, to make sure I was within the zone for pick up, in which I was, but the driver said it wasn’t. So, I had to walk across a busy road. Driver was late, mind you I’m standing outside on the street of a busy road, in front of a gated hotel. Second, the things that are « included » are false. The only thing was the transportation to and from. I had to pay an additional $160 USD, when we got to the location. In which I wasn’t informed about, I didn’t bring cash, since it was a water activity. Driver was not helpful in the matter, ended up having to Zelle one of the workers there, mind you there’s barely any connection up there. Thirdly, the tubing was not as it was advertised in the pictures. We were tied together in a circle going downstream until we switched over to an inflatable raft. There was no excitement to it at all. When we finally reached the beach, that was the end of it. In the booking it said there will be refreshments for us to purchase but there was nothing there. We were there for 5-10 minutes, just enough time for us to rinse off and that was it. Big waste of money. Paid $100+ just for transportation, when it said the tubing and rafting were included. Spent over $300, to go downstream for 30-40 minutes, of pure boredom. If I had known the truth I would’ve booked elsewhere.

Our driver picked us up on time at our hotel and delivered us to the Rio Bueno to begin our tubing adventure. Davion, our very engaging guide (Yeah Mon !), helped us gear up with helmets and life jackets. We then proceeded to tube down the river tethered together as Davion guided us. He pointed out various flora and fauna and answered all our questions. He explained how much the river had changed since the devastating hurricane of October 2025. The river is now wider and more shallow. We stopped along the way to swim and even jump in the river using a rope swing.
At the end of the tube ride we switched to a raft and paddled our way down the river to where it flows into the Caribbean. We paddled to a small beach to where our driver was waiting to take us back to our hotel.
We also appreciate the care Davion took helping our 74 year old “patriarch” getting on and off the tube and in and out of the raft.

We didn't know what to expect but it turned out to be a very good excursion for us. Our guide, Dewayne, made sure to keep us off of the fallen limbs and allowed us plenty of picture time. There's a rope you can swing on to drop into the river, which he let some of the family do. He explained how to do it and when to let go. My son said that was the best part for him. The ride is comparable to a lazy river with a few currents. It's about 3 miles long but the last mile we had to get out of the tubes and get into a raft to paddle to the beach. The beach was not much to talk about. I would strongly recommend bringing water to drink because it's not provided and you will get thirsty by the end (this would be my only reason for giving it 4 stars). Overall, after getting past our fear of the unknown, it was very relaxing, fun and we would do it again.

The experience was amazing. Shawn was our captain and he was so wonderful and knowledgeable of the area. Make it your stop for fun in the sun!
Kari_M, May 2026
Great activity for a family. We had a great experience. Guide Devian was friendly, and the driver was on time and ready.
Kaitlin_A, May 2026
Our kids had an absolute blast, and Davian and the rest of his team made the tubing extra fun. The ride into the river rafting was a bit dodgy off of the main highway but it was legit and well organized with the driver and enjoyable. WHen you finish you walk down a beach with lovely homes to get to a bit less than fantastic area where you enjoy the water and can have a Red STripe and some chips, but that's about it. Kids didn't mind though. I think it was a great option for Disney Cruisers

We had such a great experience on our tubing tour in Jamaica! Anthony, Davian, and Travis were absolutely wonderful; so kind, helpful, and fun throughout the entire trip.
What impressed me most was how hard these guys work. Watching them guide us down the river, keep everyone safe, and maneuver all of the tubes was incredible. We had two other families with us, and because they could only safely tie together about 6–7 tubes at a time, they handled splitting the groups so smoothly and made sure everyone still had an amazing experience.
I was honestly a little nervous about the rapids before we started, but they weren’t too rough at all, and nobody in our group turned over. The guides made everyone feel safe and comfortable the entire time.
They truly went above and beyond to make the tour enjoyable and safe for everyone. We’re so grateful for their kindness and professionalism. Highly recommend this tour if you’re visiting Jamaica!
Lisa_B, May 2026
We had such a fun day! Group of 11 with 5 kids under 7. Guides were amazing and so fun! Be prepared there is no food so make sure your the kids are fed before you get going. Would definitely recommend.
Ruth_N, Apr 2026
Although the description talks of taking a short hike to a waterfall and going across the river via wooden bridge, neither of those occurred. The rapids should be considered more of a lazy river since the rapids were few and far between, paddling the end of the trip is not feasible when there are only two people as the current coming into the river is way too strong to transverse. We then had to walk the beach to get to the end of the trip. A fun experience, but not really worth the money.
Joyce_K, Apr 2026
Super fun experience! Guides were friendly, fun and helpful. Would recommend highly recommend! A few to know that aren’t mentioned-
Bring your own towel they are not provided. You can safely leave your items on the bus.
After tubing you get on a larger raft and paddle to the beach. Not overly strenuous but took about 30 min.
There is a bar on the beach but it’s not always open. Would have been nice to have a cold bottle of water and/or a cocktail at the end. Bring your own water.
The drive to and from is about 45 min each way.
Katherine_D, Apr 2026
Great activity for families with kids. The River rapids were fun but nothing major, so not scary for little ones. They also have tubes of various sizes including those with solid bottoms and seatbacks for smaller kids. The second half of the rafting was a bit strenuous but not in a bad way! Beach area was not especially nice, and we felt a bit rushed to leave but I think that was because of the other people in our bus wanting to leave. Overall, we had a really fun time and are glad we did this!
Colter_W, Apr 2026
Floating the river was fun. Kind of a short trip down the river. It took roughly 1 hour 20 minutes each way in vehicle from Montego Cruise terminal.
Jason_W, Apr 2026
Tubing was very short. Not much rapids at all. We then rafted a bit to a beach where the guide for the water part left. You are literally left on the beach with no direction of anything to do. Your driver is waiting there and basically the best option was to leave and go back to resort. For the price you pay, it is not worth it and if course everyone is looking for a tip. Our guide for tubing was pleasant and our driver was nice as well. Just not worth it and overall experience was underwhelming. Overall excursion part was like 35 minutes....
Jason_S, Apr 2026
We had an absolutely great experience. We had 2 adults and 2 teenagers and our guide, Davien, was the best! He made it very fun.
Breanne_E, Mar 2026
Great time. Had a hiccup with the cruise ship not being able to dock in Montego Bay, instead went to Falmouth. Contacted the operator, they were amazing with changing the pick up time to be able to still go on this excursion. The tubing was fun, less "rapids" then was expected but our group had some good laughs throughout. Wasn't expecting it to be a separate thing from the provided ride so didn't bring enough to tip the different provides. Tip for guild and tip for "taxi"
James_S, Feb 2026
Davion expertly guided us down the river in our tubes and through a high surf in our ocean kayak . River depth was low so many exposed rocks, ocean waves were massive.
Dana_K, Feb 2026
We did the River Rapids tour on Rio Bueno and Davian was our guide. It was amazing and Davian made it so much fun! We had kids ages 16 and 13 with us and they loved this tour so much as did we (the parents). I would highly recommend doing this tour and if you happen to get Davian as your guide you are guaranteed to have the best time!

We had a fun day, we had some trouble finding our driver as the directions we were given weren’t clear, I wish the driver had just sent a google maps pin for where he wanted us to go but for some reason he couldn’t. Anyway our driver Green has an outsized character which I can see might rub some people up the wrong way but he made a reasonably long journey pass more quickly with facts about Jamaican history and culture and the effects of the hurricane which then turned into a quiz, just go with it he’s a good guy who gave us plenty of good info on the way, we found his driving perfectly safe too. Our tubing guide Duane was really great and looked after us on the river very well. He told us how the hurricane had significantly damaged the river banks and pointed interesting things out as we floated along. We transferred to a rubber dinghy and paddled the last part of the trip out into the bay and along the beach where we saw a sea turtle swimming past which Duane spotted for us. Green met us at the beach and took us back via the obligatory souvenir shopping trip where there was no pressure selling, we bought blue mountain coffee beans and the price seemed about right. We were back at the ship by 2pm. All in all a good experience, it’s a shame the drive is quite long but they can’t do anything about where the river is
