    Drift peacefully down the tranquil Great River on a handcrafted bamboo raft, captained by a local expert in the scenic village of Lethe, just outside Montego Bay. Surrounded by lush tropical jungle and historic riverside views, this serene experience is a true immersion into Jamaica’s natural beauty and cultural charm. Along the way, enjoy a traditional limestone foot massage using smooth river stones — a centuries-old Jamaican remedy known to rejuvenate and soften the skin. Sip fresh coconut water or an ice-cold Red Stripe beer as you bask in the Caribbean sunshine. Many rafts are vibrantly decorated, and some tours feature light snacks, reggae music, and personalized touches to elevate the island vibe. This one-of-a-kind journey blends relaxation, nature, and local tradition — perfect for couples, families, or anyone looking to unwind in the heart of Jamaica’s countryside.
