5.00Very nice trip. The driver was very punctual and accommodating. Captain Mark was likeable and told interesting stories. The river was beautiful and as it was slowseason we had the whole river for ourselves. Eating at Belindas shack in about the middle of the experience is highly recommended
Personal Cook Recommendation: Taneice, Port Antonio, Jamaica

5.00Port Antonia a a beautiful area of Jamaica, and not overrun by tourists. Winifred Beach, rafting on the Rio Grande, and the waterfalls up in the mountains are our favorite things to do. We stay at Goblin Hills Villas overlooking San San Beach when we come. It is a beautiful small resort outside of Port Antonio, incredibly landscaped and very reasonably priced. You may choose to engage a personal cook when you stay. I strongly recommend Taneise. She is an amazing cook, and a very pleasant wonderful person. She took us shopping in Port Antonio, which was a delightful adventure in its own right, and cooked all week for us. She also handles cleaning. We absolutely loved her. If you'd like to have Tanice as your personal chef, you can reach her on WhatsApp at 1 (876) 351-5592. Please note that cooks, like most service workers in Jamaica, depend on tips. Service jobs in Jamaica are often paid little to nothing--they just provide an opportunity to earn tips. Please be generous.
Good value for a lovely trip

5.00Very serene and tranquil ride along the river. Really enjoyable experience. It was fairly quiet and our captains didn't give any added commentary but they were pleasant and it was a pleasure to watch their rafting skills. I'd recommend.
Go for it!!

5.00This was all a positive experience- booking was smooth, driver was friendly, connection with the raft captain went well. Captain Pablo was outgoing, helpful, and full of information. The lunch stop included time for a swim, and it was great. Bring sunscreen, suit and towel Belinda’s red snapper lunch was fresh and delicious. So glad we tried it! About $2500 Jamaican. Driver was waiting at the end of the trip. Gorgeous weather, secluded and quiet route. Birds were the only visible animal. So glad we did this adventure.
Peaceful and Beautiful

5.00Michael our expert rafter took us along the Rio and having decades of experience, thrilled us with navigating his raft through rapids and calm waters gliding for 2 ½ hours sharing stories of all the famous people he has hosted over the years. Sean Connery, Beyoncé, Daniel Craig, the list goes on. We stopped for a cold red stripe at the big rock bar, enjoyed several swims along the way, the nature, the beauty and the history of rafting which started with delivering bananas to town and Errol Flynn came and suggested to add a seat to the raft and people would pay for that experience. Tourism flourished from there. A completely unique experience, bring sun coverage and a bathing suit. A truly great time!!
Rafting up the river was most memorable experience of this trip
