What to expect

Jamaica's longest river, Black River, is a tropical wildlife haven. Spend time on its languid waters with this full day tour, taking in ancient mangrove swamps and prehistoric crocodiles and having a refreshing dip in the waterfall pools of the famous YS Falls.

You'll take a scenic drive through densely forested mountains before climbing aboard your pontoon boat. Drift silently downriver, soaking up the sights and sounds of the jungle – all the while learning about the ecosystem's specific wildlife from your local guide.

Glide past huge mangroves and beady-eyed crocodiles peeping from the water, which your guide will lure to the surface for some great photo ops by tossing food from the boat. Finish your trip at the beautiful, cascading waters of the YS Falls, where you'll cool off in the refreshing waters of one of its natural pools.

Martha Brae Rafting & Luminous Lagoon Tour with Dinner

‘You'll feel at one with nature as you glide down the Martha Brae River on a bamboo raft,' says Tania, one of our expert local guides. This truly Jamaican experience is one of the highlights of this tour, along with the chance to watch a wow-factor natural phenomenon at the Luminous Lagoon. The magic of nature makes the waters glow an electric blue here – so a swim in the neon deep, plus a Jamaican dinner and limbo show, make this tour a bucket-list must.At Miss Martha's Herb Garden, you'll learn how to build a bamboo raft before hopping on to one, ready to float downstream. Your very own raftsman will pilot you downriver, so you can sit back and take in the tropical scenery. Along the way, your guide will tell tales of local folklore and introduce you to the importance of wild herbs in traditional Jamaican medicine and cuisine.After rafting, you'll drive through the historic town of Falmouth – a childhood stomping ground of world's fastest man Usain Bolt – and see St Peter's Anglican Church, one of the oldest churches in Jamaica. Next up is the star of the show. Tania says, ‘This lagoon is one of only four of its kind anywhere in the world. It's like a scene from the movie, Avatar. That's why I find it such a special, magical place.' Arriving at the Luminous Lagoon just after sunset, you'll have time to take a swim in the glowing neon waters. Finally, there's a welcome drink and a Jamaican dinner made from locally sourced ingredients as you watch an entertaining limbo dancing show.
