Experience details

A short, easy tubing outing of about 2.5 hours from Ocho Rios, with tubes, a guide and transport included. It’s an easy way to add one river activity to a busy trip. This $70 tour is different from the Rio Bueno tubing trip, so contact RCM to confirm the exact river and itinerary.

A Quick River Fix for a Busy Trip

At about 2.5 hours, this is the river outing that fits around everything else. It works well on a cruise day, the morning before a late flight, or between bigger excursions when you want to cool off without giving up the whole day. It’s also a good pick for kids who are comfortable in the water.

Tubing or Bamboo Rafting?

Both are relaxed ways to see a Jamaican river, but they feel very different. On a bamboo raft, you sit high and dry while a raft captain poles you downstream. On a tube, you’re in the river yourself, feet in the water, spinning gently with the current. Choose rafting for a calm, romantic float; choose tubing if your group wants to get wet and feel the river moving under you. Want more rapids and a beach stop? River Rapids Tubing — Rio Bueno is the longer option.

What a Tubing Trip Is Like

You sit in a large inner tube and drift with the current while a guide keeps the group together and points out the best lines through faster water. Most of the time it’s relaxed floating, with livelier moments where the river picks up speed. You’ll get wet, so dress for it.

Before you book, it helps to ask Rocky which river this trip uses, the youngest age allowed and whether non-swimmers can join. Wear water shoes that strap on securely, and leave anything you don’t want to lose with your driver.
