River Rafting & Tubing in Jamaica One activity I’ve ALWAYS wanted to do in Jamaica is a guided raft tour down a river. There are a few different places you can do it and I chose White River, in St Ann’s just outside of Ocho Rios. Bamboo raft and captain River rafting in Jamaica means a bamboo raft built for 2 and comes with its own “raft captain”.
