About this tour
Mountain Valley Rafting takes you down the Great River on a traditional bamboo raft, poled by an experienced raft captain. The river winds slowly through countryside full of bamboo, fruit trees and birdlife: no rapids, just calm water and fresh air.
It's one of the easiest ways to see rural Jamaica from Montego Bay, and it's great for families, couples and anyone who wants a relaxed half-day. We handle the private transport there and back, and can stop on the way for local food or roadside fruit.

Questions about the Mountain Valley Rafting
Is rafting suitable for children and non-swimmers?
The river is slow and calm and you sit on the raft the whole time, so it suits most ages. The raft operator will advise on any age limits on the day.
Where do you pick up from?
Anywhere in Jamaica. We collect from all hotels, resorts, villas and Airbnbs, from Sangster International Airport (MBJ) in Montego Bay and Norman Manley International (KIN) in Kingston, and from the Montego Bay, Falmouth and Ocho Rios cruise ports.
Are attraction entrance fees included?
Our prices cover your private vehicle, fuel and your driver-guide. Entrance fees for attractions (for example Dunn's River Falls, Rose Hall or YS Falls) are paid at the attraction unless we've told you otherwise in your quote.
