Bamboo rafting from Montego Bay: Martha Brae or Lethe?
Martha Brae, near Falmouth, and Lethe on the Great River are different outings. The Jamaica Tourist Board describes Martha Brae’s raft portion as roughly an hour; that is not the full trip from your hotel. Choose the river first, then compare road transport, raft occupancy and the selected inclusions.

Best suited to
Travelers who want a river outing with a raft captain and time to enjoy the scenery.
Main trade-off
The river, raft occupancy, atmosphere and optional extras vary. A low advertised rate may describe only one part of the day.
Martha Brae or Lethe?
Martha Brae
Compare products that explicitly name Martha Brae. Some combine rafting with Luminous Lagoon, so check both entry tickets, the gap between activities and the evening return.
Lethe / Great River
Compare products that explicitly name Lethe or the Great River. If a listing mentions a limestone massage, ask whether it is optional, included and priced for every guest.
What does the rafting price include?
- Identify the river and departure location on the actual itinerary.
- Confirm whether the price is per person, per raft or per group.
- Ask which transport, entry fees and optional treatments or purchases are included.
- Confirm boarding access, weather arrangements, guest restrictions and the total time away.
Rafts, extras and combined trips
Is bamboo rafting the same as white-water rafting?
These bamboo-raft listings describe a craft steered by a raft captain, rather than a guest-paddled white-water raft. Boarding arrangements and participation rules still depend on the operator; confirm those for your group.
Does the cheapest price include the whole outing?
Not necessarily. Check raft occupancy, transport, admission and optional extras for the selected rate and party size.
Can I combine rafting with another attraction?
Some listings do. Compare the full door-to-door itinerary and included tickets, and avoid booking overlapping activities separately.
