Bamboo rafting in Lethe with limestone massage

Float the great river and soak in a limestone foot rub while the current carries you

Bamboo rafting in Lethe, Jamaica combines floating downriver on a traditional raft with a natural limestone foot massage in the water. The activity includes champagne before departure, fresh fruit, coconut with a bamboo straw, and personal speaker for music. A guide leads the 5-hour experience in English, and private transportation picks you up from Montego Bay. Children from age 8 are welcome.

The experience

Lethe sits in the hills of Hanover on the banks of Jamaica's great river, surrounded by limestone mountains that form the core of the experience. The limestone itself (sourced from the mountains the raft passes) is worked into your skin during the foot rub while you float, removing dead skin and leaving it soft. The island is 75% mountains and 70% limestone, so the stone is abundant and integral to how the day unfolds.

The raft trip lasts around 5 hours and includes champagne before you push off, fresh fruit and a coconut drink with a bamboo straw during the float, and a personal Bluetooth speaker so you can play your own music. The limestone massage happens in the water itself: no separate stop, just part of the drift downriver. Birthday decorations are available if you're marking an occasion.

Private transportation picks you up from Montego Bay and takes you through the city on the way, with stops for photos of the landscape along the Hip Strip: Margaritaville, Coral Cliff, and Doctor Cave Beach are all visible. You can request additional stops along the route. A live English-speaking guide leads the activity throughout.
