Upon your pickup, you can opt to take short breaks on your way to immerse yourself in the local culture by supporting our native sellers and sampling the best fruits and drinks that the island offers.
Upon reaching your destination, you’re free to take a leisurely walk in the striking herb garden before moving on to the main attraction. After you’ve finished your exploration of nature’s finest, we’ll introduce you to your highly skilled raft captain who will ensure you’re perfectly settled on a 50-foot bamboo raft, and will then guide you on a serene 3-mile river tour under the shade of towering trees. This tour takes roughly an hour, throughout which you’ll be regaled with local folklore about the parish and its river. But the end of the tour doesn’t mark the end of your journey - you will have an opportunity to buy keepsakes to remember this slice of paradise forever.

Serene dream - This was such a lovely and beautiful experience. Olando was on time and suggested we head out to the river to beat the cruise ship crowds…my friends and I were the first and only ones on the river. The raft drivers were kind and funny and we all came away with hand carved calabashes. So beautiful and would HIGHLY recommend this excursion.

Martha Brae River Rafting Excursion - We booked this excursion via Island Routes during our stay at Sandals Royal Caribbean. We were picked up at our resort and had limited stops to the river launch point. Once we launched, we had a very delightful and enlightening three mile ride down the river. We learned much about Jamaica as we were guided down the river. My wife opted for the limestone massage and was very pleased with the outcome. I piloted the roft during her massage. The excursion is one we would definitely recommend.

Peaceful - It was so peaceful and relaxing. Our tour guide Olando was amazing and was so patient with us when we made a mistake with our booking. I would 100% do that again. Just sitting on the water and relaxing. He also took some amazing pictures of us.

Best service ever - The highlight of the tour was the drive to and from the Location. Orlando made the whole trip amazing. From the moment he picked us up from the hotel i felt like i was picked up by a family member i felt at home immediately. He was kind, approachable professional and excellent communication skills. Always smiling and ready to assist with all our enquiries. He never once made us feel like he was in a rush or anything he was so polite. Orlando is a great and trustworthy guy even my sons miss him already. Thank u so much for all your kindness. The service was exceptional. Can't wait to come back and book your services. I will %1000 recommend the service to anyone coming to Jamaica 🇯🇲 😎

Good vibes only!! - Thank to Island Life Tours for making our trip a memorable one. Olando was super cool with plenty jokes. LOL. It was my friend's first time to Jamaica and he was very prompt and accomodating to any requests she may have had (ie ATM stops, store runs etc..) We felt completely safe and at ease at all times as if we were no longer on an actual tour but instead parring with a long time friend. We used Island life tours for airport pick up as well as touring the Martha Brae with Captain Peter. Thanks again for the warm hospitality. All the best !!

Private pick up - Nice and cold van. Orlando was right on time. Pick up time we’re perfectly planned for us. Well worth the money over a warm bus with many stops.
