The experience
The day starts with pickup from your Montego Bay hotel and a drive along the Bogue road through residential areas toward Lethe community, where the river begins. You'll float on a traditional bamboo raft down calm water surrounded by lush greenery. Vendors along the river sell snacks, drinks and jerk chicken as you drift. A limestone foot massage happens on the raft itself. The whole experience on the water takes place at an easy pace: no paddling or technical skill required.
After rafting, the route passes Chukka Adventure Park, where you'll see people ziplining and doing horseback riding and ATV tours, and Dolphin Cove, where swimmers interact with dolphins. The final stop is Lucea, a small historic town famous for its yams and its role in colonial trade. The town still has an 18th-century clock in working condition.
