Introduction
If Jamaica is part of your upcoming vacation plans this summer, then you are going to want to find out what kinds of things there are for you to do. One of the greatest aspects of Jamaica is its outdoor activities. This includes several different types of water adventures. One of the most unique of them all would have to be Jamaica Bamboo Rafting.
Jamaica river rafting is a fun way to experience the waters in and around the island. The long, narrow raft is constructed of huge bamboo shoots that have been roped together. Depending on the construction of the raft there might be a bench-style seat known as a “loveseat” or “lounge chair”. However, you’ll probably spend the majority of your time relaxing on the raft and taking in the scenery.

Location Options
Martha Brae River in Trelawny – The Martha Brae River Rafting tour is the top tourist attraction. It is located just outside of the town of Falmouth in Trelawny, Jamaica. The tour is approximately a 75-minute raft ride down the Martha Brae River. The river winds through some of the most scenic views you will ever see.
Rio Grande in Portland – The Rio Grande River Rafting tour features a 2 to 3-hour rafting ride on the Rio Grande River (Portland Parish). It is the longest of all the rivers and therefore the ride is much longer. It also features a raft fashioned from large bamboo shoots that are lashed together to form a watercraft that is 4 feet wide and approximately 30 feet long. There is a specially designed lounge or bench seat.
White River in Ocho Rios – The White River Calypso Rafting and Tubing provides a bit more adventure if you like tubing and Jamaica bamboo rafting. To be able to handle the rapids, there is a specially designed Jamaica bamboo raft. The raft captain is extremely experienced and can handle the rapids.
Lethe River in Hanover – Jamaica Bamboo Rafting on the Lethe River located in Hanover Parish. This unique Jamaica river rafting experience combines the enjoyment of a leisurely trip down the river and a relaxing Jamaica limestone massage when it is all over.
Limestone Body Massage
The use of locally sourced limestone in Jamaica provides your body with the benefits of minerals such as calcium and vitamin C. The absorption of vitamins and minerals helps to improve your skin’s outward appearance. The person doing the massage dips the limestone in water and powder is released into the water. The resulting limestone paste that is created is then gently massaged into your skin.
You can decide how much of your body you want to be covered in, from just your feet to every part of your body. Once the massage is complete you jump into the water and clean off the limestone paste.
Overall Cost
The cost of the Jamaica bamboo rafting tours will depend on which one you choose. Depending on the number of guests you are booking for, the cost for most of the Jamaica river rafting tours will cost you between $60 – $77 per person. However, if you want to do the Bamboo Rafting at Lethe Village with Limestone Massage, it will cost you somewhat more. The cost goes up to ~$135 per person.
Conclusion
Jamaica is a great vacation destination, especially if you like outdoor activities. Most of what there is to do on the island centers around the great outdoors. This includes a unique form of watercraft known as a Jamaica Bamboo Raft. This local mode of transportation on the many rivers in Jamaica has been turned into a unique experience for visitors.
