Bamboo Rafting in Ocho Rios with Transportation - Our Driver Courtney was on time and awesome. He is a very safe and respectful driver. Made our rafting and shopping experience very enjoyable and easy. Shadow our Raft Captain is the best . I would definitely recommend both Courtney and Shadow for an enjoyable and safe experience.

No Ocho Rios without Rafting... - If you are in Jamaica...Ochi to be exact...you MUST experience the Limestone massage in addition to the rafting experience. We had one of the most beautiful day for the activity, and it was relaxing and super beautiful. Service, from pick up to drop off, was "chef kiss".

Lovely Rafting Experience - Had such an amazing time rafting in Ocho Rios. The river was so peaceful and beautiful, and big shout out to Shadow our raftman! He made the whole experience fun and relaxing. The limestone massage was definitely the highlight for me. My skin felt so soft afterward and it was such a unique experience. The atmosphere was calm, our Raftman was friendly, and everything felt very authentic and worth it. Especially our Rum punch. A special thank you to our driver, Courtney, who handled our round trip transfer. He was professional, friendly, punctual, and made us feel safe and comfortable the entire time. He really added to the experience and made getting around stress-free. If you are visiting Ocho Rios, I definitely recommend doing both. Such a relaxing and memorable experience.

Magical Morning - What a lovely morning. Courtney and Shadow made sure that we had a great time. They were both very knowledgeable about the Jamaican sites and culture. It was a rustic and quaint trip on a bamboo raft that was truly a unique adventure. The rum punch was delicious. They both went out of their way to make it an exceptional experience.
