    Fun and relaxing time on the river

    Our driver was great and very knowledgeable. The rafting was fun and relaxing. The limestone massage was very nice and got my skin feeling smooth.

    Response from the operator: We appreciate the feedback and are happy you had a great experience we hope that you’ll continue to share it with others so they too can book with us.

    Martha Brae Rafting Excursion Far Exceeded Our Expectations

    Communication before our eccursion was very good. Responses from the Travel Together Tours were always quick. We learned do much from our driver, Cleverton. He was excellent! The 45 minute drive to Martha Brae flew by as we so enjoyed learning about Jamaica from him. The rafting trip was definitely a memory we won’t forget. Rock Wayne was our guide for the rafting trip and he was so nice and informative as well. On the way back to our cruise ship, Cleverton stopped and got us Juicy Patties, a favorite food in Jamaica. They were delicious!! Absolutely loved this tour! Don’t hesitate, do it!! We will be coming back to Jamaica and staying longer than a ‘cruise port day’ because of our wonderful day today!

    Response from the operator: Very nice to see that you had a great time, we are happy for you, and hope that you will book with us again whenever you are visiting the island. Thanks alot for your review.

    One love on Martha Brae

    Amazing experience rafting down the Martha Brae River! Our Driver, Cleverton was really amazing and super nice. The Martha Brae River is still looking beautiful and is available for tours. Restoration is definitely happening here! Please come and learn more about what they’re doing to restore Jamaica after hurricane Melissa. The excursion was very safe and professional.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your feedback we really appreciate the detailed information, our driver Cleverton is still building our brand brick by brick, continue to spread the word and let everyone know we are open for business and they are all welcome, happy new year and a prosperous 2026. Thanks a lot.

    Pleasant surprise

    This excursion was excellent. Ray was pleasant and very accommodating. We were celebrating my cousin's birthday and Ray decorated the van with a happy birthday sign. That was an unexpected surprise for my cousin when she got in the van. The trip down the river was so peaceful and serene. Would definitely recommend.

    Response from the operator: We are grateful that Raymond made the trip an unforgettable experience, we continue to strive as a company because of staff like him that goes over and beyond for our guest. We are happy that you and your cousin were happy. Thank you for sharing.

    (Martha Brae River) Bamboo Rafting: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does (Martha Brae River) Bamboo Rafting cost?

    +

    Prices start at $60 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Montego Bay 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 River) Bamboo Rafting take?

    +

    Plan for about 1.5 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 Montego Bay is not rushed.

    Is (Martha Brae River) Bamboo Rafting worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 11 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Montego Bay, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule (Martha Brae River) Bamboo Rafting?

    +

    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 River) Bamboo Rafting suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book (Martha Brae River) Bamboo Rafting?

    +

    Around 4 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 Montego Bay 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 Montego Bay and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does (Martha Brae River) Bamboo Rafting 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 Montego Bay 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 Montego Bay?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Montego Bay 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, Appleton Estate Admission Ticket & Distillery Tour with Tastings, Montego Bay Clear Kayak Drone Photoshoot & Video. 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 Montego Bay?

    +

    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 Montego Bay?

    +

    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 (Martha Brae River) Bamboo Rafting?

    +

    Included: All Fees and Taxes. Not included: Lunch. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does (Martha Brae River) Bamboo Rafting include hotel pickup?

    +
