More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You slide off the riverbank onto a 30‑foot hand‑built bamboo raft and the Great River accepts you with a low, steady push. The raft pilot shifts weight with practiced hands; palms on pole, eyes reading subtle eddies. Sun filters through overhanging tropical leaves, and the air smells of river stone and citrus groves passed on the drive out of Montego Bay.
