You push off from a low riverbank and the raft breathes under you—bamboo slats creaking, a raft captain guiding with a long pole as the Great River unspools through shaded bends. Jamaican music threads the air; palms and hill slopes lean toward the water as you float past limestone outcrops and small farms.

Bring quick‑dry clothing
Light, quick‑dry layers will keep you comfortable on the raft and during the post-ride massage; wet clothes dry fast in the Caribbean breeze.
Secure footwear for riverbanks
Wear sandals with straps or water shoes—rafts load from uneven banks and the walk to the massage area can be rocky.
Hydrate before departure
A 4–5 hour outing in tropical heat means bring a water bottle and drink beforehand to avoid fatigue.
Protect electronics from spray
Use a waterproof pouch or dry bag for phones and cameras—occasional splash and light spray are likely while on the raft.
Quick‑dry shirt and shorts
Dries quickly after river spray and keeps you comfortable during the massage.
Water shoes or secure sandals
Protects feet on slippery banks and rocky walkways to the massage area.
Waterproof phone pouch
Keeps electronics safe from spray and accidental drops on the raft.
Small towel and change of clothes
Useful after the float and before the massage or return to town.
