5.00It was wonderful and relaxing. Our driver, Michael was awesome - he gave us a running commentary on the sights as we were driving to the site. I am very sorry I can’t remember our rafting operator’s name, but he was awesome and truly funny! We had a lot of fun on our trip. Everyone at Coopa Tours was very nice and welcoming.

5.00We went with a fabulous driver and tour operator Cooper of Coopers travel for Jamaica. Cooper picked us up in an extremely clean air con car and was very helpful, friendly and informative. Excellent driver and definitely made the trip memorable. Will definitely book through this gentleman again, highly recommend him. The bamboo rafting was amazing and would definitely do it again. If you are wanting a relaxing , chilled out activity then this is the trip for you! Shadow was the young gentleman that took us down the river and he was excellent too!

5.00We had such an amazing experience in Ocho Rios! Our chauffeur and guide Desmond made the whole day smooth, fun, and unforgettable. We went river rafting and horse riding with friends, and everything was well-organised from start to finish. The rafting was so peaceful and relaxing, while the horse ride through the water was such a unique and exciting adventure. Our guide was friendly, professional, and made sure we were comfortable the whole time. He shared a lot of knowledge about Jamaica, and his hospitality really stood out. Highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Ocho Rios!

4.00Overall this was a positive experience. We went at the end of the day, so we had the whole river to ourselves basically. Very peaceful and calming. The water is beautiful and you can observe some wildlife on the trip (mostly birds). Our rafter was very conversational and accommodated our requests to take pictures of us, which I appreciated

4.00Be careful with the bot agents address instructions if you book online. They gave us the wrong address which took us an hour out of our way. Other than that, the actual rafting experience was really amazing. It's pricey but I felt it was worth it for the once in a lifetime experience. The scenery, our captain, the rafting. 10 out of 10

5.00It was amazing from the views and the service! Highly recommend! Way better sightseeing than the one in Montego Bay. Leads you to the coast of the ocean and you’ll see horses! Will definitely be back.
