Daily 8:30am, 3.5 hours · Local excursion planning from Ocho Rios
A gentle 3.5-hour river outing that departs daily at 8:30am. A raft captain guides you down the Martha Brae while you take in the riverbank scenery. Transport, admission, the raft ride and refreshments are included. It’s ideal as a calm counterpoint to busier excursion days.
The Martha Brae winds through the parish of Trelawny and reaches the sea near Falmouth, west of Ocho Rios on the north coast. Your raft is a long, hand-built bamboo raft with a seat for two, and a raft captain poles it downstream at an easy pace, so there’s nothing for you to do but look around and chat.
The river carries a local legend, too. It’s said to be named for Martha Brae, a Taíno woman who, the story goes, outwitted Spanish gold hunters by changing the river’s course. Ask your captain for his version; everyone tells it a little differently.
The morning departure at 8:30am has you back around midday, so the afternoon is still yours. The child rate on the flyer covers ages 3 to 12.
