We had a excellent time .Driver was beyond nice . Mens at the rafting made our experience comfortable as if we was family. We had so much fun . We really enjoyed ourselves. One love ❤️

The driver who took us to the river was great. The rest of the experience was very disappointing. We walked down broken steps to the river. The guide was not enthusiastic at all. The actual "tour" was a short ride down a small waterway to a shack selling drinks for exorbitant prices. Then another short ride to a spot where we were pressured to buy massages, braiding, etc. After about 15 minutes, we were brought back to the starting point. We paid $75 each for this.

It was a peaceful and beautiful experience. Our guide was experienced and knowledgeable A very different thing to do in Jamaica. We would def do it again!

Do not book through this app/site. When you get there in person it is $40 per person and they do NOT charge for children 2 and under. Great experience regardless but please do not book through the app. Pay on person!!!!!!

Thank you for taking the time out to actually return to share your experience with everyone. This product was created and priced for people who want to do bamboo rafting and also need transportation from their hotel/Airbnb/cruise to the bamboo rafting site and back, you feel cheated because you did not use the transportation service and went ahead and paid for another transportation to take you there. We are very sorry it happened like that for you but please, dont tell the people not to use the app. When you are using the app please read the information given on the products like inclusive and excluded, doing that? Everything should be ok.

Tour was surprisingly good. Tour guide was very good. After we boarded the bus, we stopped at a gift shop first, then went on to the river where we each got helped onto a raft. The raft captain took us up river to some food, drinks and a tire swing was a nice surprise, very fun! The raft captains make sure everyone is having a good time, super friendly and very attentive. After rafting, we boarded the bus to go back and we had the option of stopping to shop and walking back to the ship or taking the bus back to the ship. Highly Recommend!

We had the experience of a life time! We were celebrating a 40th birthday and they made the bday girl and the rest of the girls feel so special! All the rafters were so knowledgable and you can tell they enjoyed what they do! This is a must! Shout out to J for picking us up and looking after us! 10/10 service! We will back again very soon 😀

This was a vibe. I want to thank Jamoy and especially Jayjay (the raft operator) for giving a great experience and memories by taking the pictures. I highly recommend Jayjay for a great vibe. I will rebook again.

From the friendly and professional driver who collected us on time, entertained us on route to the rafting experience (pleased to say minus the hard sell as previously experienced on other excursions) the rafter even have me some shells. Great time and would definitely recommend
Cecile_M, Feb 2024
I was not impressed but we made the best of it. The guide was informative. I felt it was not worth the money at all.
Emone_J, Jan 2024
Loved it thought the limestone massage was included but it was an extra fee.. opted not to do it but had fun taking pics enjoying the river and vibes and had some coconut water
Yterria_M, Jan 2024
This was an amazing experience. Our tour guide made sure we had a great time. He took his time and talked about life on the island.

My experience was great! FANTASTIC music and vibes. i also had a mud massage that I really enjoyed which cost $40 & converted to JMD it's roughly 6000 a bit pricey for what you get but I suppose it is all about experience 😊.
The Driver that picked us up from our resort was really helpful and professional. Highly experience staff and knows Ocho rios really well so ask plenty of questions.

Jason picked us up at our port and is an excellent driver and provided a great deal of information about the island. Before the raft experience you can purchase a drink to enjoy on your ride. While on the raft we paddled as well. Making the experience even more relaxing for a fee you can enjoy a massage using limestone paste. Captain Flowers operated a beautifully decorated raft and provided the massage. The use of the natural limestone made your skin so soft. It was a wonderful experience.
VICTORIA_P, Oct 2023
JUST WOW, what a beautiful experience. 1st of all Jamoy was the very best tour guide you could possibly have. Super friendly.Provided specific instructions for meeting and stood with us the whole time making us feel super safe. Truly providing us with the best 1st time experience in Jamaica. The bamboo River was fun. Note:bring cash, mud rub are $40+ extra. Along the river there drinks for extra cost as well. He took us to a local restaurant which was amazing since we got back earlier. 10 out of 10 recommended. Definitely booking in future.

An absolute wonderful experience. We couldn't have dreamt of a better way to spend our day. We were extremely happy and definitely will do it again
Dominique_F, Sep 2023
We had an awesome time. The tour guide was friendly and made the experience a great one. Also, our raft driver was also a nice guy and he took plenty of pictures for us. They had a speaker available to play music from to make the experience even better. Highly recommend!
Sonya_S, Sep 2023
We had a blast! We jammed as we cruised down the river. It was soothing & relaxing. The guides were pleasant.
J_B, Aug 2023
Beckham was friendly, personable and funny. The experience on the bamboo was tranquil and relaxing!
I enjoyed this experience and it was great to support the locals of Ocho Rios!
Jaiden tours was professional.
Anthea_E, Jul 2023
It’s was great our tour guide was great , very informative & fun 😂, music was on point I’ll recommend doing again.
Gertrude_F, Jul 2023
The cool breeze blowing against my skin was refreshing and the ability to gear the raft was exciting. The music and staff was amazing.
Aqlia_T, Jul 2023
Let me first say the driver Jason and the raft operator Sheldon were absolutely amazing!!! Reason for 4 stars the actual route on the river is very short and the river was not exactly clean. It did end at a beautiful beach with the option to get a clay massage. While I would recommend this company, I will not recommend this route if you’re looking for a slow relaxing ride on pristine waters. All of the raft operators are extremely nice and professional and rafts are beautifully decorated but the dirty river and short ride is a no for me.
yemaya_o, Jul 2023
Our driver Jay was on time and got us safely to our tour. He was very kind and helpful as well. The tour was very beautiful with amazing scenery and a knowledgeable raft captain. They took us to a small market with a beach view and many souvenir sellers.
TIA_D, Jul 2023
Was a peaceful ride down the river. Captain Sanjay was very helpful and wonderful. Would recommend anyone to come out an enjoy the experience on a bamboo raft.
LeighAnn_C, Jun 2023

Was a beautiful experience and our tour guide was great. He made sure we were comfortable and even explained the history behind the location we visited. I wish the path was longer, however our raft guide made the experience much better.
