Overview

Enjoy a relaxing and scenic ride down the famous Martha Brae.

The Martha Brae raft trip is famous. At first we hesitated offering it from Ocho Rios as the ride is 1-1/2 hours, but so many people requested it that we added it with success.

Your trip begins at the cruise pier as you make your way through the Jamaican countryside from Ocho Rios to the Martha Brae. Although the purpose of this transfer is to take you to the site of the rafting trip, the ride along the coastline will take you through small towns and allow you to truly see how interesting Jamaica is.

The rafting trip down this 3-mile stretch of the well-known Martha Brae is one of the most exhilarating in Jamaica. The journey takes about 90 minutes on the long, 2 person bamboo rafts poled by your skilled guide. The upper reaches tumble at a good pace before slowing farther down river where you stop at "Tarzan's Corner" for a swing and a swim in a calm pool.

After the relaxation of the Martha Brae, enjoy your ride back to Ocho Rios where you will head to Dunn's River Falls, for a little physical activity. Climbing Dunn's River Falls is one of those "must do" activities for anyone visiting Jamaica.

You might plan to enjoy a snack at either location, where the choices of local food is bountiful. Your food is not included in the price.

It is best to wear your swimsuit and bring a towel. As well as sunblock, a waterproof camera and perhaps a hat and t-shirt for protection. Wear water shoes or old shoes that you don't mind getting wet when climbing Dunns River Falls to protect your feet. Lockers are available for rent at Dunns River Falls.

If you are staying at a hotel, there may be an additional charge for transportation.

Please note this trip is priced per person, but is based on 2 people per raft.
