Pictures don't do it justice

Captain Errol is the reason to book this. Drift three miles of Trelawny's emerald river on a private bamboo raft with a veteran captain, ending at a riverside coconut-rum bar. — exactly as advertised, and then some. The pacing was perfect and the small group meant we never felt like tourists in a line.

Booked it again for next year

We've done a lot of organized tours and this didn't feel like one. Captain Errol clearly does this because they love it. Montego Bay showed up.

Tell everyone — but quietly

Booked on a whim after watching the AMINA Travel Channel clip. So glad we did. Everything in "what's included" was actually included and felt generous.

Best day of the whole trip

Solid experience overall. Captain Errol was great. Would have liked a little more time at the final stop but otherwise no notes.
