    VIP treatment

    If I could give 10 stars I would. I will always use Byron’s Jamaica tours anytime I visit Jamaica. Phillip (my driver) was at my hotel 15 minutes early, the car was nice and clean and he drove the speed limit the entire way. Once arriving to Marty Brae all I had to do was shop and relax because Phillip took care of everything! I was by myself and Byron’s Jamaica tours was the only tour company I could find who would take me on solo excursions! So keep that in mind all solo travelers. On the way back to the hotel Phillip took me to a really good lunch spot that had plant based food. If you want vip treatment book with Byron.

    Beautiful, scenic and informative low key rafting!

    Had a wonderful day with Kenton Bones on this raft! He did all the work, shared lots of local insight with us, and even gave me a foot massage!

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your review FallYall. We really appreciate the time you took to write this review and we are even more glad that you enjoyed your stay. We hope that we will be your continued guide through jamaica should you return.

    Half-Day Martha Brae River Rafting Tour from Ocho Rios: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kingston.

    How much does Half-Day Martha Brae River Rafting Tour from Ocho Rios cost?

    +

    Prices start at $215 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Kingston usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Half-Day Martha Brae River Rafting Tour from Ocho Rios take?

    +

    Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Kingston is not rushed.

    Is Half-Day Martha Brae River Rafting Tour from Ocho Rios worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Kingston, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Half-Day Martha Brae River Rafting Tour from Ocho Rios?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Half-Day Martha Brae River Rafting Tour from Ocho Rios suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Half-Day Martha Brae River Rafting Tour from Ocho Rios?

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Kingston can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Kingston and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Half-Day Martha Brae River Rafting Tour from Ocho Rios start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Kingston within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Kingston?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Kingston experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Ocho Rios Blue Hole and Dunn's River Falls Tour, Blue Hole and Bamboo Rafting Ocho Rios, Triple Action pack Combo (Blue Hole, Horse back riding and river tubing). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Kingston?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Kingston?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Half-Day Martha Brae River Rafting Tour from Ocho Rios?

    +

    Included: Private transportation; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Not included: Gratuities; and Lunch. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Half-Day Martha Brae River Rafting Tour from Ocho Rios include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 18 listed pickup locations in and around Kingston. Be ready about 15 minutes before the start time.

    What languages is Half-Day Martha Brae River Rafting Tour from Ocho Rios offered in?

    +
