A Mountain Valley Rafting/Shopping combo tour would definitely offer a nice mix of adventure and relaxation, along with some time to browse local shops and take in the island’s culture.
While there are many rafting tours available in Jamaica, a popular one is the Martha Brae River Rafting experience. You get to drift down the scenic river on a bamboo raft while your guide shares stories and information about the area. If you combine that with shopping, you could visit places like Falmouth or Montego Bay, where you’ll find a blend of local craft markets and duty-free shopping options.
Here’s a rough idea of how such a combo tour might look:
Duration: About 1-2 hours
Experience: Drift down the river, surrounded by lush rainforest. Guides often sing songs or share facts about the flora and fauna.
Perfect for: Those who want to enjoy a peaceful and beautiful river ride.
Duration: 1-2 hours (depending on your schedule)
Experience: Visit the craft markets for handmade jewelry, clothing, artwork, and souvenirs. You can also stop by duty-free shopping areas to pick up luxury items.
Perfect for: Shoppers looking for unique local items and authentic Jamaican crafts.
