A Memory I Will Never Forget
First off when we got picked up at our hotel by Ultimate Excursions Tours and Taxi Service I knew right then this was going to be a great day. Peter is great, not only as a driver a very informative one at that but very friendly and he made the trip seem like it was just good friends in a van together having a blast!! Rafting down the Martha Brae River was so peaceful and quaint as we picked a great time to go on a Sunday (no ship day) We were the only ones on the river and our Raft Captain (Captain G) was great also. We stopped for a brief moment to have Coconut Water from a real coconut and had a couple of Red Stripes. Captain G is very talented he also carves gourds into beautiful artwork that's worth taking a couple of them home. So if you're looking for someone to take great care of you and if you want to laugh while traveling to your excursion, please book it through Navar at Ultimate Excursions Tour & Taxi Service you want be disappointed!!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your amazing review! We're thrilled to hear that you had such a memorable day with Peter and enjoyed the peaceful beauty of the Martha Brae River. It truly makes us happy to know that you felt like you were just hanging out with good friends—that’s exactly the vibe we aim for! Captain G will be glad to know you appreciated his craftsmanship and hospitality. Thank you for choosing Ultimate Excursions Tours and Taxi Service—we’re honored to have been a part of your Jamaican experience, and we hope to welcome you back for more fun and unforgettable moments!

Amazing city tour and bamboo rafting!
When we (myself, husband and 2 kids-14&7) booked our cruise with a stop in Jamaica, we had no idea what we were going to do, but one thing we enjoy traveling is riding through the town/country and seeing historical spots, supporting local businesses, eating local food etc. We stumbled upon Navar and his company while watching a YouTube video one of his previous tours had captured and he provided exactly what I mentioned above, so we booked and requested Navar! It was a smooth process finding him once our boat docked, he provided detailed instructions and greeted us with a big smile and a bubbly personality. We started the tour by heading to the bamboo rafting but it was SO busy! Navar suggested we head to Montego Bay Area so we could go through the town, try some food and most importantly, stop at the local market where you could buy fresh fruits and vegetables! Navar took us into the market, exchanged our USD for Jamaican currency and helped us with our transactions! We had fresh pineapple, drank the juice out of a jelly coconut and tried the jelly, tried sugar cane and a banana nut smoothie sold by Jamaican locals and natives. Everyone had a smile on and was so welcoming! Navar took us to a restaurant called Peppa’s where we tried oxtail, jerk chicken and curried lobster! Everyone enjoyed! During our tour of the town, Navar educated us on the town and its history and was a great host! We then headed back to the river for bamboo floating and guess what? We were the only 2 rafts floating down the peaceful blue river! It was awesome, our boat captains also provided history /facts along the way! Navar was waiting for us at the end of the river and got us back to our ship with plenty of time to spare! 10/10 recommend supporting this family business. We truly feel like we have a friend for life and can’t wait to go tour more of Jamaica with Navar in the future! We had the best time! From Kevin, Victoria, Kevin jr and Lexi
Response from the operator: Thank you, Kevin, Victoria, Kevin Jr., and Lexi, for such a heartfelt and detailed review! It was truly a pleasure showing your family around and giving you an authentic taste of Jamaica. From exploring the local market to indulging in delicious Jamaican cuisine and floating down the peaceful river, I’m so happy to hear that every part of your experience was memorable! Your kind words and support mean the world to us as a family-owned business, and we’re grateful for the trust you placed in us to make your day in Jamaica special. Looking forward to welcoming you back for more adventures—your Jamaican friend for life, Navar! One love!

Why this scores 66
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Martha Brae Bamboo Rafting From Montego bay: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Trelawny.
How much does Martha Brae Bamboo Rafting From Montego bay cost?
+
Prices start at $145 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Trelawny usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Martha Brae Bamboo Rafting From Montego bay take?
+
Plan for about 2 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 Trelawny is not rushed.
Is Martha Brae Bamboo Rafting From Montego bay worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 22 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Trelawny, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Martha Brae Bamboo Rafting From Montego bay?
+
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 Martha Brae Bamboo Rafting From Montego bay suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Martha Brae Bamboo Rafting From Montego bay?
+
Around 8 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 Trelawny 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 Trelawny and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Martha Brae Bamboo Rafting From Montego bay 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 Trelawny 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 Trelawny?
+
On Outty we rank every Trelawny experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Private Authentic Down-to-Earth Half Day Tour in Montego Bay, Negril Seven Miles Beach, Snorkeling, Boat Ride, Ricks Cafe Combo, Private Montego Bay Customized Tour with Pickup and Guide. 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 Trelawny?
+
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 Trelawny?
+
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.
