About this tour

Travellers should book this tour once in Jamaica.

Based on the fact that the rapids aren't that great and the water is very shallow and close to the shoreline.

Each Bamboo Raft accomadates 2 adults and based on the weight they may accomadate a third person.

If you are a group of persons you can cruise side by side to capture your group photos and videos.

If you are adventurous your Captain will teach you how to steer the raft for a minute or two.
