Trident Hotel organized for us to raft and have lunch on the Rio Grande and it was a truly fantastic experience. rarely one can just hear the water, the breeze, the birds and nothing else and the lunch was delicious. Our "paddler" Walford, was terrific and helped make the excursion fun and special.

Local guides are very knowledgable about the area and the 1-2 hour trip goes by quickly. You will need sunscreen, and wear your swimsuit to take a cooling splash while you buy a drink, snack, or souvenir from vendors possibly even in their own raft drifting by.

Loved the quiet relaxing slow trip down the Rio Grande on a bamboo raft for two with a bamboo pole for propulsion, stopping off for a stunning jerk crayfish lunch

We loved the rafting trip! You spend anywhere from 2-3 hours on a 20' bamboo raft with a guide to escort you down the river, beautiful views of the mountains and lush greenery, several points to get off the boat and swim in the amazing, refreshing water. You can bring coolers with beer/food, or there is often a "floating bar"... More

All sorts of awesome!! Cost us about $70.00 US bucks (could have negotiated but we chose not to) plus tip but totally worth every penny. It's about 2.5 hours long and there's a beautiful spot to get out and swim and have a beer. Swim suit, fruit, some beers, and sunscreen and you're good to go!! It's wonderful!

This was an experience of not just the Rio Grande, but the life of those who live on it. We visited in February of 2013 and were introduced to a LOVELY couple with the most unusual names, Roach, our licenced rafter and his wonderfully bubbly wife Handsome (one of the best dang cook I've ever met!). They are a duo... More

The water in the river was down when we went, so it took 3 hours to travel down the river on these bamboo rafts. The time factor didn't matter to us. It was beautiful and very peaceful. The captains are very capable and skilled at what they do. I really don't know of anyplace else that is so unique in... More

This has to be the quietest spot in Jamaica. Here you will actually hear the birds. No music, no horns. A lovely break in the trip. You will be approached by "floating bars and souvenieres" so be prepared! They are only on the first mile or so of the trip. We had read about sharing your lunch with your "captain",... More
