River Tubing in Ocho Rios: A First-Timer’s Guide

A tubing outing can be an easy way to add some river adventure to your Jamaica plans. It is especially appealing if you want one active experience without committing to a full-day excursion.

Let the River Set the Pace

RCM’s listing includes transportation, tubes and a guide. The tour source does not give a specific named river, so we would rather confirm the departure location than assume it is the same trip as the Rio Bueno outing.

Ask About Rapids and Water Conditions

Ask which river is used, what the conditions are like, which safety equipment is supplied and whether the ride is suitable for children or less confident swimmers.

Good to Know Before You Go

Timing, what’s included and current rates for this outing are on the River Tubing Adventure tour page. Because pickup location and group size can change the plan, we’ll confirm the details with you before anything is booked.

Packing for This Outing

Plan on getting wet. Bring a towel, secure footwear and dry clothes for afterward.

A Good Fit for a Short Window

If you only have a few free hours, such as a cruise port day or the afternoon before a flight, a shorter tubing trip lets you get on the river without giving up the whole day. Ask Rocky about the pickup time from your hotel or the port so you know exactly how much of the day it will take.

Tell us your dates and where you’re staying, and we’ll help you plan an irie day. Email Rocky whenever you’re ready.
