Early light slips through tall bamboo and mango as your raft slides off the bank — the river takes over, cool fingers of current guiding a 30-foot craft downstream.

Suitable for most visitors in average health; low exertion but requires boarding and brief riverbank steps.
Many operators offer pickup from Montego Bay hotels; confirm pickup details, times, and any extra transfer fees when you book.
The trip is low-impact and family-friendly, but boarding requires balance; pregnant travelers and those with serious back or heart conditions should avoid it.
Operators typically prioritize calm, guided raft rides rather than flotation devices; ask your provider about safety equipment if you have concerns.
Alcoholic beverages like local beer are sometimes included or available, but you must be 18+ to consume alcohol and drink responsibly on board.
The Martha Brae River area has long supported riverside farming and, more recently, tourism—rafting became a packaged visitor experience in the 20th century centered on local craft and herbal traditions.
Stay on the raft and use established landing points to avoid eroding banks; avoid littering and use reef-safe sunscreen to reduce downstream impacts.
