The trip down the Martha Brae river was magical! Our capt was Capt Delroy, who from the minute we boarded the raft made us laugh and be entertained the whole three miles of the trip. He was very knowledgable about the area and showed us the wild bamboo which grows along the river from which they make the raft from,... More

Incredibly relaxing ride in a beautiful setting. Our guide, Mike, pointed out a variety of plants and trees to us and sang nicely. He avoided all of the touristy sales booths for us, but did have beautiful handmade carved plant shells (I am blanking on the name!) for sale on the raft. He showed us how he made them himself...

River rafting down a quiet river. One hour trip down the river was very relaxing and worth the trip. Only thing we didn't like was our river captain constantly telling us how much tip he should get.

This trip is about 45 minutes, very relaxing for an afternoon excursion. The only downside to this trip was that towards the end, the guide did try to sell you stuff, which you can buy at no obligation. you sit on a platform with a cushion whilst your guide takes you down the river..the river is very clear but take...

Loved this excursion. A very laid back and chilled out afternoon on board a bamboo raft. Our 'captain' was very knowledgeable about local fauna and flora and was happy to answer all our questions.

It was so much fun, all our friends were on the rafts. lined up and the men were singing to us, so we all started singing. If you go anyplace take the rafts. Then we got off and had refreshments.. This is a must.
