You push off from a low riverbank as warm Jamaican air moves through the palms; the Lethe’s current takes the bamboo raft downstream, the guide’s paddle tapping a steady beat. Water laps the hull and the river draws you away from the bustle of Montego Bay into forested corridors where limestone ledges and small cascades shape the flow.
