The guide drops you at a narrow bend where the White River loosens itself from the hills above Ocho Rios, the current tugging at your tube like a dare. Palm shadows scrape the water, limestone shelves flash under clear pools, and local guides—steady hands and louder laughs—set the pace downstream. Midway a low cliff offers a rush: a quick climb, a breath, and a clean drop into pooled river water before the final run to the sea.
