Overview

This Montego Bay tour from BOJ Adventure Tours pairs bamboo rafting at Lethe Estate with a limestone massage, then finishes with a short stop at the Hip Strip. It runs two to three hours in total, and transport is private, so the vehicle and the outing belong to your group alone. Pickup is included, in an air-conditioned vehicle, with a bottle of water each.

The rafting portion is the heart of it, scheduled for two hours at Lethe Estate with admission included. A captain poles the raft, and reviewers say they point out trees and spices along the banks. Somewhere on the excursion you get the limestone massage, and several travellers praised the captains' commentary and company.

The Hip Strip stop adds about 30 minutes for shopping or a look around before the drive back. Lunch and shopping costs are your own. The listing says most travellers can participate, and infant seats are available. It is not wheelchair accessible, and good weather is required, since rain on the river can force a reschedule or refund.

What To Expect From The Tour

A few practical points from the listing and from traveller reviews will help you plan the day.

Bring cash. Purchases there are at your own expense, so plan for some spending money.
Private format. Only your group participates, per the listing. You still share the river with other rafts at busy times.
Book early. One reviewer recommended booking an early slot, since the water is quieter before the crowds build.
Mostly seated. The listing says most travellers can participate. Infant seats are available.
Weather dependent. The experience requires good weather, and one reviewer was offered a reschedule when rain was reported on the river. If it cancels for weather, the listing promises a different date or a full refund.
Photos and souvenirs. One reviewer mentioned taking many photos on the water and buying bamboo straws made on the spot. Keep a little money aside if you might want souvenirs or drinks.

Common issues. The raft ride itself is short, and a few reviewers felt the distance covered was much less than expected. Pickup times have slipped or been pushed back for some travellers, and one reported a missed Hip Strip stop. One reviewer also felt rushed by the captain after declining to buy from locals along the river. The tour is not wheelchair accessible, and poor weather can force a reschedule or refund.
