 Martha Brae - TestimonialsMartha Brae River: "No problem" - Make sure to give this a try - it's such a superb and relaxing way to spend a morning. Don't forget to stop at one of the many small vendors selling beer and rum along the way! Well worth it! --- United Kingdom
Martha Brae River: "Martha Brae raft trip" - Rafting on the Martha Brae was a great way to unwind and enjoy a little nature. Our guide told us that they make thier own bamboo rafts & they have to construct a new one about every 6 months. Your raft guide will be happy to point out the different types of wildlife and vegatation, while explaining it's uses along the way. The strangest thing we saw was a bunch of buzzards sitting in a tree. I had to take a picture. It's an interesting ride & worth time. ---Sacramento, CA
Martha Brae River: "Up in the mountains" - Bamboo rafting down the Matha Brae is absolutely fabulous!!! It is one of the most relaxing things to do in Jamaica. I recomend this to anyone who is going to Jamaica for the first time. Find a great cab driver (I suggest a man by the name of Archie) and head off into the mountains for a day of calm, exotic beauty. If you get the right tour guide, you will learn fun facts about Jamaica and its plants, fruits, wildlife and maybe even pick up some fresh coconut. (Yum) I definetely recomend this for those crazy love birds!! ---Unknown
Martha Brae River: "Pleasant & Peaceful" - We went rafting on the Martha Brae whilst on holiday 4-11 November 2003. We did this as part of a full day tour that included a very early morning pick-up, breakfast out (very nice), rafting then the falls and lunch out in a lovely restaurant in Ochio Rios and as a whole day out it was wonderful, really good value for money. The rafting itself is very peaceful and we purchased a nice photograph. The guides who are rafting are not paid much money and supplement their income by carving pots etc so if you can please purchase one or two, it will help them so much. If I went back to Jamaica again I would not probably make a point of going rafting on the Martha Brae again however if it was part of another trip then I probably would. As a whole days excursion it was fantastic if not a little tiring by the time we arrived back in Negril! ---samgidley@hotmail.com, Salford, Manchester, England
