The experience

The Lethe River sits in a rural district in Hanover parish, forming the boundary between St. James and Hanover: the third most popular rafting spot in Jamaica after Rio Grande and Martha Brae. You start on a 30-foot bamboo raft that floats downstream under a historic bridge and a dense canopy of trees and bamboo. Midway through, your guide pulls the raft to the riverbank for a limestone foot massage, a local tradition that breaks up the float and gives you a moment on solid ground before heading back out.

After the river, you switch to an ATV and ride deep into the countryside on the rugged trails of a historic estate. Your guide knows the terrain and Jamaica's history, and the route passes through small villages tucked into the tropical forest. The ride covers ground a raft cannot reach, so you get two very different angles on the same landscape in a single outing. Transport from your Montego Bay hotel, lunch and bottled water are included. The whole experience runs about two hours.

What is the Lethe River like for rafting?

The Lethe flows through a rural district in Hanover parish and is the third most popular rafting destination in Jamaica. You travel on 30-foot bamboo rafts under a historic bridge and a canopy of towering trees and bamboo, floating downstream at a pace that lets you take in the landscape and stop for the foot massage midway.

How does the limestone foot massage work?

Your guide pulls the raft to the riverbank at a set point during the float, and you receive the massage on the bank itself. It is a local tradition and a chance to rest your feet before the second half of the river journey.

What happens on the ATV portion?

After rafting, you ride an ATV on rugged trails through a historic estate and the Jamaican countryside, passing through small villages hidden in the tropical forest. Your guide leads the way and shares knowledge of the terrain and Jamaica's history as you explore.

What is included in the price?

The package includes private transportation from your Montego Bay hotel, the bamboo raft and ATV rides, the limestone foot massage, lunch, bottled water, and all fees and taxes. WiFi is available on board during transport.

Is this suitable for first-time rafters?

Yes. The bamboo raft floats gently downstream and does not require rafting experience or special skills. The tour is suitable for all physical fitness levels, though it is not recommended for travelers with spinal injuries, poor cardiovascular health, or those who are pregnant.
