Amazing sunset as our tour came to an end where white river meets the ocean. We decided to try the bamboo rafting when we visited White River with a local friend in Ochi. Our raft guide, Noel, was awesome! If you are staying anywhere in Ocho Rios make the trip to White River, it is well worth it!!

The White River was a nice cool refreshing break from a very hot day. The tubes have a plywood bottom in them, so no worries of 'fetching up' on the rocks. There were some areas that the guides expertly guided us through that were light rapids. It was a great relaxing way to enjoy crystal clear river, the forest and... More

A very nice way to expereince Jamaica, expecially compared to some other aspects of the island; friendly, helpful staff with minimal prodding to buy other goods and services; rapids are fun, but not challenging; water temperature was ideal; good value compared to other alternatives

This was so much fun you have to do it. The water is crystal clean and just the right temperature. Its a lazy float down river with a few rapids.

Rafting or tubing down the river, while your guide sings some Marley.... ahhhhh. The only thing was that the tubes were not very comfortable. My neck was aching by the time it was over....
