    Mcneil was my Guide he was very informative and courteous towards my son and myself. A really relaxing raft down the river, with our guide talking us through aspects of the Jamaica, and the beautiful greenery that surrounds Martha Brae River. This rafting is calm and relaxing, when you sit on a raft which each guide has hand made out of bamboo. You pass 'put up shops' on the river, you can buy items from sellers (for cash) & don't feel pressured to buy. Remember to bring your water shoes

    Transport from Negril a bit too long. Bad organisation either from TUI or from the transport company. Waisted 20 minutes outside an hotel awaiting for people who did not turn up and then were sent to another hotel again no show up!! Needs to be addressed

    We were left waiting on Sunday for a trip that was cancelled but none told us. Attended today and it was a chilled row down the river. The river was still high and we were informed it was the same on Sunday so we were lied to! The raft took us down the river which took about 45 minutes to ride the 3 miles through lush vegetation. Our river guide was very knowledgeable about the trees and plants. We stopped at a local shop to purchase souvenirs.
