Calypso Rafting is the BEST family and group water activities company on the north coast of Jamaica! They offer deep sea fishing, scuba diving, and white river rafting. You do not pay the mass premiums charged by the hotels and you get 5-star service. The Captain of the Misty boat (Marshall) has extensive knowledge of the sea and puts you on top of fish all the time. I have chartered the Misty six times and had awesome experiences. For me, it’s the best crew in all the Caribbean fishing trips that I have chartered. My son and I dive from 25 feet to 100 feet in Jamacia; their dive operation is safe, incredible views underwater, and my son used their service for his deep water PADI certification. The white river rafting is a unique tropical great away! Beautiful tropical views, it’s truly a Jamacia escape. The rafting has a route for everyone from grandparents to thrillseekers. My family and I really enjoy Jamacia. I highly recommend Claypso Rafting to all tourists, visitors and locals.
****Important to note, when going white river rafting, look for Calypso Rafting signs, it’s included in my photos, also booking online is helpful. There are other rafting companies at the river that are not safe, and do not give you the full river tour.

This is my third time visiting Jamaica and third time tubing down the white river. It’s perfect for children (we have three young ones) and it is safe and fun. Our river guide - DWIGHT - was f a n t a s t i c! With three little ones, he managed to keep us all together down the river while singing great tunes we all knew. We stopped at the little area halfway through and I enjoyed a red stripe while my husband and our kids swung on the swing in the middle of the river. Our kids LOVED this because it was just enough excitement (small rapids) coupled with just enough “chill” :)

It was a nice, fun time with Capt Jack. Great guy. Enjoy the ride down and stop off near bottom for a quick swim, jump, swing or beverage (drinks are not included but cheap). Lots of fun. Great views of the tropical trees and flowers. Have fun. 😎

Visited to go river tubing, and the tubing itself was fun and a nice experience, but the wait at the river with the tubes to begin tubing was about a half hour. We had to wait for several groups of rafters to arrive and board and go first. You stop tubing about 3/4 the way down for a break, and that’s fine but the break was way too long as well, so we’re just standing around for another half hour. Then at the end the guides surprised me by following me to my transportation to pretty much demand a tip, did not follow the Jamaican families that were tubing with us.

Nice scenery and people but overall pretty poor experience. We did the calypso rafting which is the bamboo raft. We were taken around the corner on the river for around 5 minutes and then dropped off near a couple of stalls and a rope swing. We waited here for 30 minutes and was then taken back around the corner. Good for photo opportunities but really nothing more than a tourist trap and not worth the money at all. We were so thirsty while waiting that we bought a drink. One small plastic cup of rum punch was $12 USD! It was not even filled up fully and only around two mouthfuls before it was gone.

This was one of the best excursions in Jamaica. It was so relaxing and fun! Moses was our guide and he took great care of the 4 of us. From start to finish we were laughing, singing, and enjoying the beautiful views of Jamaica. The tubing was alot of fun, rope swing was awesome. You can also do the bamboo raft if that's more your thing for 1/2 the price here in comparison to the tours sold at the hotels / ships. We will definitely go again next time we are in Jamaica. Go on your own and enjoy the afternoon in cool refreshing water with great people and don't get ripped off by these tour companies.

We went with Leon two day in a row for tubing and rafting. The vibe was nice. He was very entertaining and informative. Loved our whole experience ❤️❤️ We made two stops on the way down and he was very patient couldn’t ask for a better guide

We loved this place! My sister found it and booked us for 4 rafts. We came at our reservation time, had a safety briefing, then the bamboo rafts arrived, we got our life vests on and then it was rafting time!
The river was awesome, felt so refreshing on our feet. Bring cash to tip your raft captain. They are knowledgeable men and navigate the river beautifully. There’s a complimentary van shuttle to take you from the bottom of the river back to the front of the starting area/parking. Cool excursion!

The river and the scenery were beautiful! Fun banks, a place to massage. The bamboo boats were neat and romantic. And the best part was your guide Raphael!! He sang to the children and everyone, made sure we were safe, and made it fun! Ask for Raphael when you book!

Blacks!!! You are one cool dude! You were able to video and take still pictures to allow us to focus on enjoying our tour. And yet we're very attentive to my 78 year old mother! In the water. This is true consideration. You were ensuring our safety from the very top of the stairs to the end of the ride. You indulged our every whim and fancy. Never rushing us like you had to make some quota. And never making us feel "obligated" in fact. You forgot about the drink you bought for us from Raw Cash! Hail him up for us. Haul up everybody. Blacks youbare truly someone who does more than you're trolly being paid to do. I could see the genuineness in your efforts. Please take care of yourself. And see you soon.
