Float down the Great River on a bamboo raft, then trade inland calm for a catamaran party and snorkeling in Montego Bay Marine Park. This half‑day combo blends gentle river culture, reef snorkeling, and a lively open‑bar sail.

The morning opens with sunlight flattening into glassy water as a handcrafted 30ft bamboo raft slips off Lethe Village’s bank. Cool river spray lifts the heat from the hills; your raft captain talks local history while pushing the craft downstream, then teases the water with a limestone foot rub locals call “jungle socks.”

Bring reef‑safe sunscreen
Oils and chemical sunscreens harm coral—use reef‑safe SPF and reapply after swimming.
Wear water shoes
Boat decks and river rocks can be slippery; closed‑toe water shoes protect feet on the raft and reef entry.
Know your swimming comfort
Snorkeling occurs in shallow reefs but basic swimming ability and comfort in saltwater are required.
Secure motion‑sensitive items
Phones and loose items can fly off nets or get wet on waves—use dry bags or leave valuables ashore.
