Operated by VIP TOURS JAMAICA · Martha Brae, Trelawny Parish
You step into an air-conditioned van in Montego Bay and watch the coast give way to sugarcane fields and low limestone hills; the driver points to the curve where the road follows the Martha Brae River and you can already hear leaves skittering in the river breeze.
The Martha Brae River has long been central to local life—once a route for small boats and now famous for bamboo raft rides piloted by expert raftmen. The underlying geology is Jamaican limestone: karst valleys, sinkholes and narrow river corridors that channel cool, tannin-streaked water past banana groves and wooden yards. The rafting village sits within Trelawny Parish, where Spanish and British colonial history meets Afro-Jamaican culture—expect friendly conversation, the smell of coconut and the clack of paddles.
This transfer is strictly a private round-trip shuttle: roughly a 45-minute drive from central Montego Bay depending on pickup point, with the driver assisting you to buy rafting tickets on arrival (current raft rate noted locally at about $99 per two-person raft; entrance fee payable in cash). Drivers are licensed and can make short stops for ATM or refreshments.
Practical guidance: confirm your exact hotel pickup time, carry cash for entrance and tips, and bring swimwear and a towel if you plan to raft. Weight limit per person is about 250 lbs and a minimum raft age of 3 applies. The service is ideal for travelers who want a seamless connection to the river without worrying about logistics—arrive relaxed and ready to board the raft.
