Bamboo rafting on Lethe River

Lourna_S, Oct 2025
It was a nice experience. Good vibes, drinks and hookah. We had an amazing time. It was very relaxing. Would definitely do it again. Ask for Soulja boy, he had my raft decorated for my birthday. Ronaldo was our captain for the raft, he did a good job, took great pictures, and was good host with good customer service.

Mineral massage and rum punch

Valerie_C, Jan 2025
This experience was a happy place. We drank the rum punch, got mineral leg massages, and had a fun day. Highly recommend. Don't expect a real river though. It's more a drift and rum float.

I’m not thing I didn’t...

Yasmeen_W, Dec 2024
The only thing I didn’t like was the length of the experience, wished it was longer/we could’ve continued further down the river. But Soulja Boy was our “raftor” and he was pleasant. Not overly showboating & talkative but also not super quiet. For me & my partner, it was perfect. Water refreshing. Weather was perfect. The bombarding of sales was a bit annoying but we understood. The lunch was chef’s kiss! 10/10 recommend. I forgot the lady’s stall that we stopped out but she was very sweet. As we were staying in negril, and the excursion was closer to Montevideo Bay, we’re relieved to have arranged the round trip transportation. Lord knows how much it would’ve cost.

Bamboo Rafting

Ayobami_O, May 2024
Bamboo rafting was going smoothly until the rain started pouring down. Although they provided umbrellas, they were too small to shield us from the downpour, and we got soaked. However, the rain eventually stopped, and we managed to enjoy ourselves for the rest of the day.

Response from Host, Jun 2024

Hello, Thank you for sharing your feedback about your experience on Jamaica's stunning Lethe River. We're thrilled that you had a great time with our team despite the unforeseen rain. While we recognize that weather can occasionally impact experiences, we're disappointed to see that reflected in a rating lower than five stars. Nevertheless, we're glad to hear that the umbrellas were on hand during your rafting trip. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back to Jamaica for another adventure, with brighter skies ahead! Thank you once again for choosing Aloha Jamaica Tours!

Don’t miss this hidden gem

Tiffany_R, Apr 2024
This was definitely a fun experience, the limestone massage and the fresh coconut was everything lol. Our instructor was great so professional but what topped it off was our driver rayon he was amazing .

Relaxing Experience

Yolanda_S, Apr 2024
This was a very relaxing experience. Our driver was great and gave us a lot of history along the way. He also made sure that lunch was ready for us when we were done with the rafting.

Relaxing and good food.

Julian_C, Mar 2024
Our driver picked us up from Negril and took us to Montego Bay for the adventure. He was great and gave us knowledge about Jamaica. The best takeaway from the river is the food. We had jerk chicken, rice, and cabbage and I want to go back for the food. The river adventure just a fun place to take pictures and mingle with their culture. The foot massage was nice esp with the natural products they use.

Great experience for the price

SHALANDA_T, Mar 2024
Our captain Orville "Souljah Boy" was the best! He took great care of my cousin and I. He was funny, entertaining, played great music, and had us hype the whole time. The limestone massage was great and he took a lot of pics for us. Only thing I will say is, if you use your own transportation to this excursion make sure you contact the tour operator to let them know when you're arriving so someone from the company will be waiting for you. I didn't know who was who when I arrived. Other than that, this was a great excursion for a great price. The tour operator got back to me very fast when I contacted them.

A good time

JAMEL_M, Mar 2024
Fun time. Good atmosphere and experience. Wish it was longer. Eat, drink, relax, and have a good time.

Terrible Tour Operator

Natasha_E, Jan 2024
By far the worst excursion I have ever booked with this Viator. The location was listed as Negril Jamaica but it was actually in Montego Bay. The tour operator was extremely rude and condescending not to mention forceful. During our Whatsapp conversation I heard kids screaming in the background. I asked for a refund because we were unable to get to the far location and he refused. Contacted Viator and recieved horrible customer service. Very disappointing!

Response from Host, Feb 2024

Hello Natasha, Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. While we appreciate hearing from our customers, we must address some inaccuracies in your review. At Aloha Jamaica Tours, we take pride in delivering top-notch service with exceptional guides, as reflected in our numerous positive reviews. We would like to clarify that all our guests who choose to transport themselves, including your group, are provided with precise meeting locations, Google Maps links, and coordinates well in advance of their scheduled tours. Though we do not understand how you got the area of your tour confused, our team made every effort to assist you in finding the correct meeting point on the day of your excursion. However, it was mentioned that your group, after a lively night in Montego Bay, did not want to get out and do the tour that day. As explained, we do not allow same day cancellations as your rafting captain and all rafts were already prepared for your arrival at the time you scheduled. We attempted to accommodate your group by offering rescheduling options and adjusting the scheduled time, but unfortunately, our efforts were met with unfavorable language from you/your group. We regret that we couldn't provide you with the extraordinary experience on Lethe River as planned. We genuinely hope that, despite the circumstances, you still had a positive time during your stay in Jamaica. For future bookings, we recommend considering our transportation option next time to reduce the risks of getting the area confused on the way to your meeting location. If you have any further concerns or would like to discuss your experience in more detail, please feel free to reach out to us directly. We hope to have the opportunity to better serve you in the future.

Excellent Customer Service

Alore_C, Dec 2023
We had a wonderful experience. The business owner/tourist guide went above and beyond to ensure customer satisfaction even when things beyond his control didn't go according to plan. We thoroughly enjoyed the massage, coconut, and sugar cane. We also had food from a local restaurant that was fantastic. He was very knowledgeable about the country's history and brought our experience to life with conversation we shared along the journey.

Amazing Tour

Deshawn_C, Dec 2023
Amazing Tour! Me and my wife booked this tour while in Jamaica. Our driver was on time to pick us up from the hotel. On the way to the location, he went over some history with us about the country. He also went above and beyond to make sure we got extra time to make additional stops. I will definitely book this again when we come back to Negril.

Amazing

Rafting in Jamacia

Antoinette_G, Sep 2023
Our guide had the same name as my son. He was very informative and had been doing it fourteen years. Polite and pleasant.

No real rafting down the river. Just a lot of rafts going nowhere. You go a few feet and get lunch.👎🏽

Richael_H, Jul 2023
I did not like the music that was played during the rafting. Loud and ratchet. Too many rafts bumping into each other and no where to go. We only had lunch and got her feet massaged, and that was it no more rafting back to the beginning. It was definitely not worth the money! Home.

Response from Host, Feb 2024

Hello, Our drivers and guides are normally known for delivering exceptional service. We’re sorry we seemed to have missed the mark during your excursion with us. Guests are typically able to choose the music that is played on their own raft, but we of course can not control what’s played on others…. To keep our guests safe, the rafting time, duration and distance can vary depending on the rapid of the River. We’d like to discuss this more and talk about future possible offers. Please email us at alohajamaicatours@gmail.com

Don't buy online. Viator will waste your time and money. Wait till you get in country.

Xavion_G, Jul 2023
Viator has little to no understanding of the method in which the locals organize transportation to the places where the excursions are happening. They scheduled us for a 12:30 pick up when the Lethe river shuttle only picks up @ 8:30 & 9:30. By the time me and my wife found this out, the last shuttle had already left, thus ruining our plans for the day. Luckily a local worker rearranged some things for us to have an opportunity to do it the next day, but I still had to pay another $200 (which is still cheaper than what viator charged me). On top of Viator's incompetence they have refused to refund me, even though the fault is none but their own

Response from Host, Feb 2024

Hello Xavion, We hate to hear you had such a bad experience but I believe you have left this review under the wrong company! We do not run shuttle buses, and those that book transportation with us are provided private service. If you come to Jamaica again, please reach out to us directly here at Aloha Jamaica Tours. 🇯🇲

Luxe Limestone massage

Olivia_R, Jul 2023
Awesome experience! I loved the limestone massage and my raft guy Kenny was terrific. Plus I loved my driver he was cool and went beyond for food , drinks, and helping my broke ankle self with the rocks.

NeAndre_M, May 2023
Great experience, we drive ourselves so the roads there were pretty rough but it was easy enough to find and our guide messaged us before departure and close to our arrival to check in on us. The limestone massage felt great and the rafting was very enjoyable.
