Bamboo Rafting Jamaika
Our taxi arrived an hour late.That was difficult to reach someone by phone but a security lady at the port took over the phone call. In itself a very nice trip.Very nice raft driver (Danny)And our taxi driver drove us to a beautiful beach afterwards.
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the delay in the arrival of your taxi and any difficulties you experienced in reaching us. We understand how frustrating this can be, especially when trying to coordinate with cruise ship passengers. Unfortunately, we do face occasional challenges in contacting passengers, but we are working to improve our communication processes to avoid such issues in the future. We are pleased to hear that, despite the initial inconvenience, you enjoyed the excursion and had a positive experience with our crew, especially with Danny and the driver who took you to a beautiful beach afterward. Your feedback is invaluable, and we appreciate your understanding as we continue to refine our service.

Relaxing time rafting down the Martha Brae.
Really enjoyed our Martha Brae River Rafting tour. We stopped on a cruise in Falmouth and wanted to do something a little different that was close by to our cruise port. This fit the bill perfectly. Jamtastic Tours was easy to work with and had very quick response to any questions. Finding them outside the cruise port was easy and they had us back to the ship in plenty of time so we didn’t miss the boat. Rafting down the river was calm and relaxing. Our raft captain, Anderson, was funny and knowledgeable. Jamtastic Tours even provided us with a few photos of us going down the river. I would work with Jamtastic Tours again.
Response from the operator: We’re so glad to hear you had such a wonderful time on the Martha Brae River Rafting tour! It’s great to know that our tour was a perfect fit for your cruise stop and that you had a relaxing experience on the river. We truly appreciate your kind words about Anderson—he’ll be happy to know his humor and expertise made an impact! We’re also glad you found it easy to connect with us and that everything ran smoothly. We’d love to welcome you back for another adventure with Jamtastic Tours anytime!

Best Experience! No Regrets
I stayed in Montego Bay for 5 days and did excursions all over. This was by far the best excursion of the entire trip! Our driver and travel guide Lamar had excellent service and was very accommodating ! He was prompt with pickup, had very clear instructions for pickup and his communication was stellar. Once we were picked up the vehicle was clean, spacious and comfortable. The air worked perfectly in the hot weather and the vehicle was equipped with WiFi. Our ride was very smooth and Lamar was very insightful about Jamaican history, culture and excursions. We had genuine conversations along the ride and Lamar made sure we were safe and comfortable. As women traveling solo, I was a bit hesitant for a private tour but Lamar is very respectful and didn’t display any of the weird behaviors we experienced with others. I’d highly recommend Jamtastic Tours to anyone visiting Jamaica! They have the best rates and even better service! Thanks Lamar!
Response from the operator: Dear Valued Guest, Thank you for your fantastic review! We're thrilled to hear Lamar made your excursion the best part of your trip. Your comfort and safety are our top priorities, and we're glad Lamar's service exceeded your expectations. We appreciate your recommendation and look forward to welcoming you back soon!

Why this scores 67
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Martha Brae Bamboo Rafting Tour with Private Transfer: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Trelawny.
How much does Private Martha Brae Bamboo Rafting Tour with Private Transfer cost?
+
Prices start at $30 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 Private Martha Brae Bamboo Rafting Tour with Private Transfer 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 Private Martha Brae Bamboo Rafting Tour with Private Transfer worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 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 Private Martha Brae Bamboo Rafting Tour with Private Transfer?
+
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 Private Martha Brae Bamboo Rafting Tour with Private Transfer 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 Private Martha Brae Bamboo Rafting Tour with Private Transfer?
+
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 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 Private Martha Brae Bamboo Rafting Tour with Private Transfer 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.
