ultimate jamaican river
When visiting portland parish you shouldn't miss rafting down the Rio Grande. If you'r staying in Port Antonio the easiest way to get there is to take a route taxi from bridge st. heading to the Grant's Level (3$us per capita) - there you will find your captain - no problem. The prices of raft ride should be around us$ 60 - 80. Rafting down takes around two hours. The vegetation in rio grande valley is breathtaking especially in the top parts of the river. While going down be sure to ask you captain to go through errol flynns rock and to stop somewhere deep where you can take a nice and refreshing dip in the rio grande. There is a nice spot where you can stop for something to eat/drink (some sort of jungle bar;-) and you can swim there as well. Getting back to PA is fairly easy, just get one the road from St. Margaret's Bay to PA and catch a route taxi. Ride to PA is about 2$US per passanger.

great and relaxing adventure
my husband and I have always wanted to do this excursion but have never gotten the chance to do so. we booked this through our hotel and it was totally worth the experience! Captain Mark guided us on the water and was really friendly and knowledgeable about the river and its history. You will enjoy scenic views and a welcome lunch break at Belinda located on the river as well... bring water and an ice cold beer and prepare for a relaxing adventure on in the Rio Grande!
