A great excursion with tubing and lunch and beach time - We enjoyed this excursion. Tee our guide and Valentine our driver were efficient and attentive. Errol our river guide was fun and made the tubing safe. The ride from Montego Bay was close to an hour but worth it. The tubing was in water cold and refreshing. The lunch was good, as was the rum punch. Beach time was appreciated, and Tee brought us our food and drink. A fun time - we would do it again.

A must do! - This experience was great. The river tubing was the best part and our tour guide Roy was a Rey of sunshine. We did the tour with our kids, 10 and 11, and it was their favorite part of the whole trip. Safety was a top priority throughout!

It was a fun day! River... - It was a fun day! River tubing portion takes around 45 minutes total with 30 of that on the water. Very nice river guides.
Short drive away is the Bamboo Beach club. Nice setup with a beach bar and plenty of places to relax. Food was local flavor and very good.

Awesome day in Jamaica - Excellent! Try this trip! Tina (guide) & Tracy (van driver) & Big Ben (tube & raft guide) were all awesome! After a short drive (approx. 30 min) and a history lesson along the way, we arrived at the river. Used the facilities, got fitted w/ a life jacket & helmet. Big Ben (Lagrick) hooked us all together on our innertubes and we floated on down. Stopped and switched tubes for a raft. Most of us were given a paddle, but mostly it was Big Ben & my husband doing the heavy paddling to the shore. After leaving that beach, went to another beach and had a nice lunch and some free rum. Beach was a little rocky so keep water shoes on. Had a few little shops outside of beach. Then we finished our trip at a souvenir store w/ Tina getting a discount for us. All in all 5 stars. Would take this trip again!

Tubing was fun! - The people were great, the jerk chicken was delicious, and the tubing was fun! I gave it a 4/5 because we booked the 10am tour separately from the cruise but still had to take the 7:45am pickup time regardless. Also they served lunch first and having a 7:45am pickup to go straight to lunch at 8:30am was a surprise. If I had known “lunch” was the first stop I wouldn’t have had breakfast. Wish the tubing could’ve been longer.

Driver was nice and... - Driver was nice and tubing was great. Very little communication from Beach Club staff about lunch and drinks. We didn’t receive most drinks. Was not told a time to meet to leave and they were searching for missing people. Overall good day, but some improvements would make it perfect day excursion.

River tubing better than beach - We chose this due to the relatively quick drive time which unfortunately doubled due to having to wait for people at the second pick up site- a hotel. The ride was in a comfortable van. I wish our guide, Tee, would’ve provided more info about Jamaica culture & history, but she answered questions. River tubing was amazing. The route had been shortened due to damage from hurricane Melissa but still very enjoyable. Bamboo Beach was underwhelming. Pretty small water area with nothing to see under water and entrance very rocky- wear water shoes. We could only sit in a section with chairs, no loungers. Food was good- jerk chicken, rice, hush puppy, cole slaw & a really delicious dessert. Two different rum drinks & non alcoholic options were included. Tee demonstrated a rum shot that we all got to consume. The group from the hotel were dropped off first and we noticed that none of them tipped, so we tipped the guides/driver double. Due to traffic, we were worried that we wouldn’t make it back to our ship on time, but we did, with time to spare for a little shopping on our way back. I recommend this fun excursion for the balance of adventure & relaxation.

Bamboo Beach - 3 of 5 stars - The river rafting was quite enjoyable. Our guide Areville was nice and did a good job getting us safely down the river. Water was cool and running well so our trip went quickly. The pickup and return trip to the ship went well with plenty of time to get back not rushed.
The problem with this trip - we were taken to Bamboo Beach Club first not to the river rafting as advertised. We were served lunch at 10 AM while other groups were taken to the river rafting first. I expect this was due to the nuber of guests present at one time. My wife and I along with the rest of our group were not ready to eat lunch that early. The food was good with the jerk chicken outstanding. The second disappointment was we were picked up at a alternate landing by vehcile instead fo the video advertised kayak out to Bamboo Beach. If the excursion hd been doen in the order shown in many YouTube videos it would have been much more enjoyable.

Not organized unprofessional - We went tubing and the group of strangers that went with us , started smoking cigarettes, our guide said nothing, then that group started smoking weed and again our guide said nothing , I had to tell them to cut that out , we went to the beach club were our guide left us , we didn’t eat until 10 minutes before we left and then we arrived at our ship with only minutes left to spare. Terrible, terrible, terrible
