Montego Bay Tour with Shopping and Bamboo River Rafting

Drift peacefully down the serene Great River on a 30-foot handcrafted bamboo raft, guided by a skilled local captain through the lush, tropical village of Lethe, just outside Montego Bay. As you glide along the calm waters, take in the natural beauty of towering bamboo, vibrant flora, and glimpses of historic landmarks nestled within the jungle. Midway through your journey, enjoy an authentic limestone foot massage, using smooth river stones and natural clay—an age-old Jamaican remedy that leaves your skin feeling soft, cool, and rejuvenated. Sip on fresh coconut water or a cold Red Stripe beer as you soak in the tranquil surroundings and laid-back island rhythm. Many rafts come adorned with colorful decorations, and your captain may even treat you to light snacks or soothing reggae music to complete the vibe. Whether you're seeking romance, family fun, or quiet reflection, this relaxing escape offers a perfect blend of nature, culture, and local hospitality.
