Relaxing Experience - 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. - 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 - 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.

Such a unique and cool experience - This was such a cool and unique experience! Aloha Jamaica Tours made the whole experience smooth for us. Our driver was Wayne and he showed up right on time to pick us up from our resort in Negril. It was a 1.5 hr drive so a bit of a hike but it was worth it! The entire experience on the raft + the massage is about an hour and it’s very relaxing. Our guide was Soulja Boy and he was very nice and knowledgeable, even answered any questions we had about Jamaica and its rich culture! The only criticism I had is that since I went with my husband, it seems they needed to have a woman come and do his massage as I guess men are not allowed to do massages for men. We weren’t prepared for this with cash to provide tips but they were understanding of the situation. Perhaps if we knew beforehand we would have been prepared for this, other than that I’d def recc this experience!

Divinie Drive, Random Rafting ride. Might book again? - The drive was extremely beautiful. Negril to Great River was my favourite car ride in Jamaica. The driver was very chilled and there were no problems on the road. He even let us make stops wherever we asked which was great. I wish we could've taken more stops instead of two. The drive was more interesting than the rafting. However, the rafting experience wasn’t perfect. When we got out of the car, we were approached by a guy who was not our tour guide. He took us on the river on a raft with lots of creepy crawlers. The raft was not decorated nicely as in the photos. We had 1 coconut between us, not one each. And we were not offered lunch or sugar cane juice. The river ride was very short. At the end, we were asked payment questions by our “tour guide” because he had no idea about our all-inclusive pre-paid booking. He seemed annoyed and asked for the company’s contact number. He took the number and called them. Then walked off and left us with the driver. We all assumed it was time to go. We told the driver we were supposed to have lunch. The driver was confused and so were we. I messaged the company and they replied quickly then spoke to the driver. the driver had to now find a place for us to eat which was unfair on all of us. we had no idea where we were so we couldn’t help him to tell him where to eat. Out of nowhere, a man comes to the car before we’re about to drive off. Our real tour guide had found us, he took us back on the rafts to get food on the water. The chef was very friendly and the raft was decorated nicely with no insects to disturb us. We wished this was our first impression of the rafts. We’re glad our genuine tour guide heard the commotion and came over to save us and fix the mess. Soulja Boy was the real hero of the day. It was all a big misunderstanding but with the price that we paid, there should have not been. I'm conflicted. I want to recommend booking this because it was difficult to find a tour from Negril to Lethe at this price with stops. I would say have all proof ready for anything because there are strong communication issues and double check the plan of the tour with the guide you meet too just to be safe. The limestone & olive oil made my skin so soft. It’s fascinating to see and learn how the rafts stay afloat. The scenery there is beautiful and I would love to drive there again to see the countryside but rafting there was a one-time thing.

Interesting trip. - I liked the bamboo raft and our driver Gordon was great. If you order the trip with the lunch the food is very good. However I wish we knew how far from Negril this was because we looked up things to do in Negril and this came up. Thank goodness Gordon was a good driver because we spent 3 hours in the car. Be careful when you order the drinks though. They charged $17 a drink for us which was ridiculous.

Terrible Tour Operator - 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!
