The experience

You climb aboard a 30-foot hand-crafted bamboo raft and spend 90 minutes drifting down the Great River. The pace is leisurely: no paddling required, no whitewater, no technical skill. The raft moves with the current while a guide narrates the history of the area and points out photo spots where the light hits the water well. Partway through, the guide applies a limestone foot massage that rejuvenates the skin, leaving it with a smooth silk texture long after you wash it off. A refreshing coconut is served during the float.

Private transportation picks you up from your Montego Bay hotel in an air-conditioned vehicle and brings you back after the tour ends. The guide speaks English or Spanish, and children from age 3 are welcome. A towel is required for the foot massage portion. WiFi is available on board if you want to send photos while you float.
