We purchased coconut water from one of the sellers on the side of the river. It was pretty neat to watch her chop open the coconut. Overall this was a great experience and I can see why it’s so popular.”

“Where do I begin, please set the travel times properly. The ride was very treacherous! The ride from Montego Bay was very long and the driver was not transparent about arrival times. Each activity was a hour away from each other. Once we arrived to the activity it was wonderful. The main downfall of the trip was the rafts.

Also, we did not like stopping on the small strip island for shopping at the locals' markets...maybe a food stop would be better or no stops at all...but the raft driver was nice...he let my husband try to drive the raft!”
