The day begins on an air-conditioned van leaving Montego Bay’s coastal bustle, the road opening into green hills and citrus-scented country air. Guides hand out helmets, and the first taste of motion comes on a 30-foot, hand-built bamboo raft as it slides down the Lethe—water nudging the bamboo, reggae pulsing from the captain’s radio, and limestone rubbing the soles of your feet during a customary foot massage.
