Rafting, ATV & Rick's Café from Montego Bay

Three ways to move through Jamaica in a single day: float, throttle, dive.

A full-day activity tour from Montego Bay combining bamboo rafting on the Lethe River, an ATV ride through Green Island, and entry to Rick's Café in Negril, where cliff divers launch from the rocks at sunset. The tour includes round-trip transport, all entry fees, and a limestone massage during the raft portion. You choose which activities to book: all three together, any two, or one alone. A guide leads the ATV section and raft captains navigate the river. The day runs seven hours.

Adventure and culture in Jamaica

• Bamboo rafting on Lethe River
• ATV ride in Green Island
• Visit Rick's Café in Negril

The experience

The day starts with a drive from Montego Bay to the Lethe River, where you board a traditional bamboo raft. A raft captain poles the boat downriver while you sit and watch the landscape unfold: towering bamboo, thick foliage, the water moving at its own pace. The raft portion includes a limestone massage from feet to knee, a detail that turns the float into something more than sightseeing. This is the slowest part of the day, built for couples or anyone who came to Jamaica to stop moving for a while.

The ATV ride shifts the rhythm entirely. You get a safety briefing and introduction to the machine, then throttle through the countryside around Green Island: lush terrain, hidden spots, the kind of views you cannot reach from a road. A guide leads the way and talks about local history and culture as you ride. The itinerary notes it suits all skill levels, though you need at least moderate fitness to handle the terrain and the heat.

The day ends at Rick's Café in Negril, perched on a cliff overlooking the water. You can watch other travelers cliff dive from various heights, or skip it and sit with a drink while the sun drops. Live reggae plays, the menu runs to fresh seafood and cocktails, and the whole place is built around the moment the light turns gold. Round-trip transport from Montego Bay covers the whole route. All entry fees and the vehicle are included in whichever activities you select.

Top questions

Can I book just the bamboo rafting, or do I have to do all three activities?

Bamboo rafting is available as a standalone option, as are the ATV ride and Rick's Café entry. You can also combine any two, or book all three together in a single seven-hour day.

What's the Lethe River bamboo raft experience actually like?

A raft captain poles a traditional bamboo raft down the Lethe River while you sit and float past dense foliage and towering bamboo. The pace is leisurely and the experience includes a limestone massage on your feet and legs during the ride.

Do I need ATV experience to ride in Green Island?

No, the ATV portion is suitable for all skill levels. You get a safety briefing and introduction to the machine before you ride, and a guide leads the way through the terrain.

What happens at Rick's Café?

Rick's Café sits on a cliff in Negril where you can watch cliff divers jump from the rocks, or simply sit with a drink and watch the sunset. The café serves local and international food, with fresh seafood and cocktails, and live reggae music plays throughout the afternoon and evening.

Is lunch included in the tour?

Lunch is not included. Rick's Café has a full menu available if you choose that stop, and food is available at other points in the day, but you'll need to order and pay separately.

How long is the whole day, and when does it start?

The full tour runs seven hours from Montego Bay. Round-trip transport is included, and the itinerary covers the Lethe River raft, the Green Island ATV ride, and Rick's Café in Negril, depending on which activities you select.
