I hired Lees Tours in Jamaica to take us rafting on the Martha Brae River. We had previously used them and their driver Micheal. Once again they did a fantastic job of picking us up on time, being very flexible, knowledgeable and professional. the Martha Brae is a worthwhile excursion if you are staying in the Montego Bay or Negril... more

Loved the views from this bamboo raft along the Martha Brae River. Our guide was very informative. The water was clean and the guide would stop for you to take a swim. All of the rafts are made from bamboo grown in the jungle that you tour. Each guide builds his own raft. The rafts were used to transport crops... more

My husband and I booked this trip while staying at Sandals Royal Caribbean for our one year anniversary. We had meant to book this last year during our honeymoon stay but we were so delighted with the RC that we did not feel the need to leave. :) We were driven by a knowledgeable driver who pointed out the sites... more

This is one of the trips my family loved on our holiday to Jamaica. We actually stayed in Negril and wanted to visit Dunns river falls, I wasnt too sure with us having two kids aged 8 & 2 as the travelling from Negril to Ochio Rios was 3hrs. After some thought and persuation we decided to split the day... more

My husband and I did the Martha Brae bamboo rafting in June 2008. We used Fabian out of Negril to take us there. Fabian is much more than just a taxi driver, he is also very knowledgeable about everything in Jamaica and is eager to tell you all about his country. He told us things that we would have never... more

We just took this tour on Feb 26, 2008. When we got there the vendors were quite aggressive. Also I needed to use the washroom and was given directions by our bus driver, which is fine however when I entered the bathroom this lady (must have worked there) was really strange, she supervised my usage of the bathroom. Directed me... more

My daughter and I went with a private driver on the day we rafted the Martha Brae. As a result we got there bright and early before the hordes of busses and tourists. As a result, we were the first ones down the river that day and had the most peaceful wonderful ride. The flora and fauna along the river... more

While visiting Jamaica at Sandals Royal Carribean on our anniversary, my wife and I booked the Martha Brae Rafting trip through the resort on July 15th. It cost us $110.00 U.S. It included transfers to and from the river and a complimentary punch drink at the beginning of the trip. Due to the recent weather, the river was a good... more
