Activity Details

At the indicated time, we'll pick you up at your hotel in Runaway Bay and take you to the Martha Brae River, located on the northern coast of Jamaica.

We'll arrive at Rafter's Village, the embarkation area, equipped with leisure facilities such as bars and swimming pools. Nearby is Miss Martha's Herb Garden, featuring endemic plants with medicinal properties. We'll explore this garden before boarding the bamboo raft for a ride down the river.

On the bamboo raft, we'll travel 4 km (2.4 mi) of the river while enjoying the scenery along its banks. The trip lasts an hour and 15 minutes, during which the guide will narrate the legend of Martha Brae and share information about local flora and fauna.

The bamboo raft ride is one of the main attractions for visitors to Runaway Bay. Notable figures, including Chuck Norris, Jason Derulo, Johnny Cash, and Queen Elizabeth II, have participated in this experience.

The boat will arrive at Rafter's Rest, where we'll transfer you back to your hotel, concluding a total duration of 4 hours.
