Wouldn’t recommend again nor book.

The rafting doesn’t come with the mud. I wish they explained that before make sure you bring cash cause everybody will be expecting tip and I mean every single body. I wouldn’t really recommend the horses looked like they were hungry. And lastly, they don’t allow you to pick up food you would like I asked to stop by KFC and got told you no but was able to stop by their families restaurant so I didn’t appreciate that. Wouldn’t recommend nor book again.

We booked with Courtney Taylor tours ,Tyrone our guide was amazing and gave us loads of local information and we told us about Jamaican traditions. He was really helpful. Re the tours the horse riding in the sea was a fantastic experience (would recommend to go early morning though) relaxing and a pure joy. The water rafting we sang, drank and chilled out and relaxed with limestone leg massage at the end of the experience
