🌿 Martha Brae River Rafting Tour Falmouth
The Martha Brae River, located near the historic town of Falmouth, offers one of Jamaica’s most tranquil and authentic experiences — bamboo river rafting through the lush tropical countryside. This peaceful journey lets you float along a three-mile stretch of calm river on a handcrafted bamboo raft, guided by an expert local captain. As you drift downstream, you’ll be surrounded by vibrant greenery, exotic birds, and the soothing sounds of nature. It’s an ideal escape for couples, families, or anyone seeking a romantic and relaxing experience in Jamaica’s natural paradise.
🚐 What to Expect
Pickup from Montego Bay Hotels: Your adventure begins with a comfortable, air-conditioned transfer from your Montego Bay hotel to the Martha Brae Rafting Village. Along the way, your driver will share local insights about Jamaica’s culture, history, and countryside life.
Arrival at the Rafting Village: Upon arrival, enjoy a complimentary welcome drink as you explore the beautifully landscaped grounds. Your professional raft captain will give you a short orientation on the river, safety tips, and a bit of folklore about “Martha Brae,” the legendary river witch said to guard its waters.
Boarding the Bamboo Raft: Step aboard your 30-foot bamboo raft, built for two passengers. Sit back and relax as your captain skillfully guides the raft downstream using a long bamboo pole. The gentle ride takes you through peaceful tropical scenery where time seems to slow down.
Scenic River Journey: Float past lush riverbanks lined with ferns, fruit trees, and wildflowers. You can stop to take a dip in the refreshing river, purchase handmade souvenirs from local vendors, or watch as your raft captain crafts a calabash souvenir with your name carved into it — a perfect keepsake from your day on the Martha Brae.
