Tour Description:

Your Falmouth rafting adventure begins with a 20-minute scenic drive to the historic Rio Bueno River where you will have a short safety briefing and training exercise.

Next, take a walk across the swaying jungle bridge for a short hike through the cool rainforest to the starting point of your water rafting trip down the historic river.

With your co-captain, and tour guide steering the rear of the raft, paddle boldly through the twists and turns of rushing water rapids to the midway stop where you can swim and swing on the rope into the clear placid river pool.

After your stop, climb back into your raft and continue floating through lush tropical greenery while taking in the amazing scenery as you float down river into the Caribbean Sea.

From there you can get pulled by motorized boat (weather permitting) or take a short walk along the shoreline as the sand hugs your feet and caresses your toes before arriving at the Bengal Beach; have a cool refreshing drink at the bamboo bar, take a swim in the warm ocean water, relax on the beach or journey on a short drive to the historic site where Christopher Columbus first landed in Discovery Bay. Tour the open air museum before a short but informative sightseeing drive through Historic Falmouth on your return.

The Rafting portion of your tour lasts approximately 1-hour, depending on the river current and time you spend at the midway stop. This tour is guided, with two to three guides leading small groups of people.

* Falmouth Water Rafting begins at the same time as Kayaking, River Boarding and Tubing so individual members of a family or group can choose different activities and go down the river together.

We truly enjoyed our trip. We were very pleasantly surprised that our driver was to stay with us all day. The rafting was terrific, we all really enjoyed the raft trip, and would highly recommend the trip on the Martha Brae. We were all just OK with the beach (we live at a very nice beach), so, because we had the use of the driver, we decided to do some other things. Our driver (Steve) was wonderful, he did several things extra that we all really appreciated. I thought the web site was easy to use and understand. more...

We saw the natural beauty of Jamaica and its people. The guide who picked us (a group of 4 over 55’s) up at the Falmouth port was very professional and gave us a good overview of the country as we drove approximately 20 minutes to the rafting site on Rio Bueno. The car was comfortable and in excellent condition. Errol met us at the river, gave us safety equipment and led us on a short nature trail to the rafting site. His English was excellent, and he entertained us in describing and pointing out the trees and plants and their traditional uses. We hiked a little through the rocky stream to a pretty little waterfall and back, then boarded the rafts. The rapids were class I and class II, so not very violent; just enough to be fun as we paddled down the very scenic and peaceful river watching the tropical birds, vegetation and flowers along the way. Afterward we could have jumped from a platform to swim. Then we were towed to the beach where we bought our own jerk chicken lunch and cocoanut drinks. There were picnic tables at the beach. The driver was waiting there for us to take us back to the ship in plenty of time. We’ve been to Jamaica many times on cruise stops, and this was the first time we really felt comfortable there. We can’t say good enough things about Errol. There were 2 more groups in 2 rafts with us. They had kids and younger people who seemed to enjoy the trip as much as we did. We avoided the mass of people exiting the ship and had an excellent time - all for a lower cost than the ship’s tours.[TripAdvisor re-post] more...

Wow, just wow! We had a great time, and the guides were outstanding, especially Errol. We’ve been to Jamaica several times, and this was the first time we felt safe, really saw the beauty of the island, and loved the rafting trip. The only negative was that 2 of our party couldn’t go because of last minute illness, and we were still charged for them.

The four of us had a great time. The staff was very pleasant and very knowledgeable. Our driver was superb, taking us to lunch and showing us some additional sights. The rafting was fun and very refreshing. The whole day was a fantastic way to enjoy the island. The value was exceptional compared to other activities available to cruise lines. I highly recommend this excursion! more...

We had a wonderful time on the excursion. Our guide was great. (I think his name was something like Brenton). He even dove in the water below the falls until he found the prescription sunglasses one of our group dropped, and this took several minutes. We all wished that there had been a little more time rafting, but all in all we had a very nice day.

What can I say when we first walk into our resort lobby we find our driver/guide Paul. Let me say the trip advisors and yelp reviews of this man don't lie he's amazing and if you can request him in advance please do so! We got lucky I read about him but I didn't know how to request him. So I just hope that we would get a good guide when he said his name I said and OMG I read about him and people rave about how awesome he is and that wasn't a lie. As we started off our trip Paul took the time to explain the history about Jamaica. Which into that point didn't know what a rich history it had. our first spot way was look at point and Paul want to make sure that we got some good pictures to take back home. He even told us that if we saw anything along the way just let him know and he would stop for us. The spot wasn't planned but he felt was important that we saw was Columbus Discovery Point which was so beautiful he explain the history and let us walk around for pictures. As we start to wonder around my friend got a little side track a went off the path. Paul notice right a way that she was off track and local street vendor was walking her near wall saying he could take her picture. Paul quickly made it known to the man that he was right there and made sure that she was safe and didn't get push into buying anything she wasn't ready for yet. Paul explain in the car that he wouldn't leave us alone to get harm and we would watch over us but it was important to watch ourselves and not put our self in harms way. We so travel down to the river at first when got there the one was there and Paul quickly call his boss he reassure us that if this active wasn't going to run for some reason that the would make sure he got a second action plan for us. We was quickly working away on figuring things when the people finally showed up. He took care of all the admission stuff and even kept our item safety lock in the car. When we were about to start of walk to the river he told his that he would meet us down at the beach were the active would end. The White Water Rafting was awesome a bit different what we have in the states but super peaceful. Our guide he took us on a small water fall hike and we got to see the farming land and jump off a pallet form. I was awesome along the we got more history of the land and people it was great. At the end we find Paul right were he said he would be it was great! Thank you Paul and Jaital for a great trip! more...

“Water Fun”
Visited in December 2015
Our family booked the white water rafting on one of our cruise stops. We met them at the port and were driven by mini van to the rapids. The Jamaican tour guides (we loved Frederick) were very friendly with a focus on fun and safety. Their mantra was " don't worry, be happy!" and that was definitely the case. The rapids were refreshing but definitely on the calmer side so don't expect rough rapids. After the rapids they took us to a beach to relax until we were ready to go back. It was a great day! Note- bring water shoes. [TripAdvisor re-post] more...

“Very Fun and they try to make it special!”
Visited in December 2015
We had a great time on our white water rafting & beach adventure. Sure the white water rafting cannot compare to what we've done in Maine, but it was still great and they tried to make it as great as they can. The added bonus for us was walking up to the waterfalls and experiencing that part of the river. Our guide, O'Shane, was amazing. He really went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. We even sang Bob Marley songs along our river journey. He made sure we were safe and that we enjoyed our time. He took lots of photos for us which will be treasured memories for years to come. The beach adventure part was a nice way to relax and enjoy some authentic Jamaican food. They even have a bar there to enjoy drinks and some Red Stripe beer of course. Everyone we met was wonderful and we highly recommend this tour![TripAdvisor re-post] more...

Our trip on December 8, 2015 was wonderful. We really enjoyed our guide,he was such a wonderful guide. We really appreciated the time he took to make our excursion so special by bringing us up the waterfalls prior to our rafting and beach day. That was actually the highlight of the trip for me. We also sang Bob Marley songs together along the trip down the river. That was really fun. I felt like he really went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. You are very lucky to have him. Our driver was also amazing. He got us there safely, and was very informative and helpful. He waited patiently for us to end our beach day, and made sure he pointed out some cultural things along our drive and told us a lot about the history of the area which was really great. We really enjoyed our trip, and we were glad we chose it! Keep up the great work! more...

“White Water Rafting with Great Customer Service: Very Safe”
Visited in December 2014
I had the best experience with Jaital. I looked on Trip Advisor prior to booking any cruise excursion and was looking for great service and a great price. I found it all the Jaital. I walked off the cruise in Falmouth and noticed hundreds of people waiting to get on the cruise excursions. It looked like a mad house. I proceeded to the taxi section, where Jaital told me to proceed to and there I found our personal driver. I felt like I had my own personal tour guide. He did inform me that we were the only passengers on this cruise that booked this excursion. However, the van only held 6 so it would have only been two more people anyway. Derek our tour guide was so sweet. He took us around and stopped along the way to our destination. We had a great time white water rafting. One thing to remember is that you will have to tip two people, the driver and the raft guide. I did not mind since they both deserved it. You have to stop at the Juicy Beef Patty store if you like beef patties. We left all of our belongings in the van where it was locked with the driver. [Tripadvisor re-post] more...

“White Water Rafting”
Visited in October 2014
We used Jaital on a previous trip to Jamaica and were impressed with our zip line and bobsled tour. Cruising on the Allure, we decided to use them again and avoid the cattle call of a cruise booked excursion. There is something to be said for the personalization that the company offers. Personal air conditioned bus, great service, and amazing people. \\\"Peter\\\" was our guide for the day and he did not disappoint. From the moment he met the ten of us (4 adults and 6 kids) he was a pleasure. He educated us on Jamaican history, provided us with insight about our tour, and really took a liking to the kids and provided them with fantastic information. This was one of the best experiences of the week in large part due to Peter. We can\\\'t wait to spend some time with him again next year. [Tripadvisor re-post] more...

“River Rafting, Beach Swim and Lunch, Falmouth”
Visited in October 2014
We had a great experience in Falmouth, Jamaica with the White Water Rafting and Beach Adventure. Right from the start meeting our driver, Kadeth, at the cruise ship terminal we were impressed with the professionalism and friendly approach displayed by the Jaital team. The rafting was very relaxing and well organised. We felt like we were in good hands the entire way. Kadeth really made the day special for us. She was very knowledgeable about Jamaica and was happy to answer all our questions and share her experience. She really looked after us and went out of her way to make the day enjoyable. Getting back to the cruise ship it was apparent that many people don’t even leave the terminal compound which is a real shame. We felt like we got to experience just a little part of real Jamaica and meet some wonderful people along the way. We would highly recommend the team at Jaital and hope to use Jaital again in the future. [Tripadvisor re-post] more...

Our group, teenagers through older adults, had a fantastic time going down the Rio Bueno through the excursion offered by Jaital. The drive from the port at Falmouth to the river was less than 30 minutes. Individuals in our group were able to choose tubing, river boarding, rafting, and kayaking yet we all started at the same place and ended together within minutes of each other. If you river board and are not in good shape, you may find it too taxing. The stop in the middle to jump into the river from a rope tied to a tree was a lot of fun and gave a break to those who needed it. The rapids are small but fun though this may vary with water depth. The guides were awesome. They were very personable and also very attentive. We had a great time. It was the best excursion of our cruise by far.[Tripadvisor re-post] more...

“Brilliant day out”
Visited in May 2014
I was on a cruise with Royal Caribbean Freedom of the Seas and decided to do white water rafting. I was nervous about booking direct but no need. When my party arrived at the port we walked approx five minutes to the taxi stand where we were greeted my the driver. He spoke to us the whole bus ride making our journey more enjoyable. We arrived and our guides quickly greeted us and fitted us with all the gear required. Ten minutes later we were all laughing and singing songs as we rafted down the relaxing waters. This is suitable for all ages. Half way down the river we stopped at a rope swing where we jumped of a ledge into the river. So much fun. Once the rafting was done we finished at this cute little beach where we got to taste some Jamaican rum and jerk chicken. Be prepared to bring some dollars. The locals sell the chicken and rum and have a tip jar. Between the guide and the barman the service is so fantastic you will want to tip them. [Tripadvisor re-post] more...

“Fun tubing in Jamaica”
Visited in May 2013
We booked a white water rafting trip for our party of 7 at our Falmouth cruise stop. We had a great time. Our driver was courteous, informative and helpful. When we arrived we asked if we could switch to tubing -- response - No Problem!!. Our tour guide Oshane was absolutely fantastic. He made sure the seniors (me) were safely in tow and gave the teens the excitement they need. Not only did he make a very difficult job look easy, but he added excitement and fun. If that wasn\\\'t enough he pointed out trees and whatever of interest popped up AND had us sing-along Bob Marley songs. Also, he has a very warm, sweet, bright smile that sets the tone of here comes some fun and as the company he works for - No Problem. We highly recommend Jaital -- they deliver.

“White Water Rafting & Beach Break”
Visited in January 2013
We had a really good time! The short walk through the jungle and over the little bridge was very nice. The river was just right - a little adventure for the teenagers in our group, but not too crazy for the older people. However, when we got to the drop point, our guide said the \\\"big rafts\\\" were all gone, and we had to use a small raft. With six adults, we did drag bottom a fair number of times, but our guide worked very hard, and we had lots of fun. It was very cool to paddle down a river and right out into the ocean! The beach was very nice. However, the tour description implied that a drink was included, so we were disappointed to discover we had to buy them. And while it was great that the company took pictures along the shore during the tour, the purchasing process was extremely slow, and those of us looking at the pictures had no time at all on the beach. They need a quicker, better set-up! All-in-all, we had a great time! It was a great trip for a wide variety of ages (we had twelve in our group, ages 10-70). [Tripadvisor re-post] more...

“White Water Rafting on the Rio Bueno River”
Visited in May 2012
It was a short 20-minute drive from Falmouth Cruise Port to where we began the river rafting on the Rio Bueno River. The road was great the whole way. The driver was very nice and courteous. He dropped us off at the entrance to the river and then went to our final destination point and waited there for us until we arrived at the end of the rafting trip. All our personal items and cameras, et cetera, had to be left in the van the whole time we were on the river, so he locked up the van so that all of our items were safe when we returned. There were 3 of us in the raft plus our guide. Our guide who took us down the river was exceptional. He even sang to us some of Bob Marley\\\'s songs on the way down river. All the guys from Jaital were exceptionally fun and funny. We were personally catered to by the Jaital Tours people when taking this tour, whereas if we had booked it through the cruise lines instead, we would have encountered delays and numerous people on our tour. That means a lot to us that we didn\\\'t have to deal with that!. The driver brought us back to the port in plenty of time to have a few hours still to shop around the port area. We had a great time and would definitely recommend this to anyone, as we would do this again the next time we\\\'re in Falmouth. Our hats are off to you guys!! Keep up the good work!
