Overview
This tour puts you on a bamboo raft on the Rio Grande River, departing from Port Antonio. The experience runs for 2.5 hours and is run as a private activity, so only your own group takes part.
The day starts with pickup within Port Antonio, and the listing asks you to confirm the exact meeting point on the live booking page before you go. The stated meeting point is the Marine Police Station at the Errol Flynn Marina on Fort George Street, near Neville Antonio Park, where the guide displays the tour name. Transportation, a guide, and bottled water are all included, so there is little to organise yourself once you are collected.
Lunch is part of the package too. Each person gets one entree from a choice of Jamaican jerk chicken, jerk pork, or fried fish, plus two sides and a drink. One reviewer described the raft trip as relaxing and recommended swimming in the river at lunchtime, so bring a swimsuit and a towel, since towels are not supplied. The listing states that most travellers can participate, though the experience is not wheelchair accessible.

What To Expect From The Tour
A few practical points will help you prepare for this trip, from what to pack to how the day is structured.
- Bring a towel. Towels are listed as not included, so pack your own if you plan to get wet. One reviewer specifically recommended taking a dip in the river at lunchtime, which suggests a swimsuit is worth bringing as well.
- Private group. The listing states this is a private tour or activity, and only your group participates. You will not be joined by other travellers.
- Food and drink. Lunch covers one entree, two sides, and a beverage per person, chosen from jerk chicken, jerk pork, or fried fish. Bottled water is also included, so there is no need to carry your own.
- Relaxed pace. The review available describes the trip as relaxing. There is nothing in the listing about demanding activity.
- Weather matters. The listing says the experience requires good weather. If it is cancelled for poor conditions, you will be offered a different date or a full refund, so keep some flexibility in your schedule.
- Meeting logistics. Pickup is included within Port Antonio, but you should confirm the exact meeting point on the live booking page. Pickup and drop off outside the parish of Portland are not included.
Common issues. The listing states plainly that the tour is not wheelchair accessible, and towels are not provided. Pickup and drop off outside the parish of Portland are excluded, so travellers staying further afield need to arrange their own transport to Port Antonio. The listing also says the experience requires good weather, and if it is cancelled for that reason the operator offers a different date or a full refund. Beyond these points, the single review available raises no complaints.
