Float Through the Jungle on a Hand-Crafted Bamboo Raft
The Experience
A legendary Jamaican tradition — drift down the Rio Grande on a hand-crafted bamboo raft poled by a skilled local captain.
The Rio Grande bamboo rafting experience dates back to the 1940s when banana farmers first floated their crop downstream — and Errol Flynn turned it into a tourist attraction. Today, this 8-mile journey through the lush Portland jungle remains one of Jamaica\\\'s most iconic and peaceful experiences.
Your pole captain will share stories, point out tropical birds and plants, and guide your raft through gentle rapids and sun-dappled stretches of pure green beauty. Each raft fits two guests comfortably.
This is not a thrill ride — it\\\'s a meditation on the beauty of slow travel.
