Martha Brae Rafting & Luminous Lagoon - Runaway Bay & Ocho Rios

With your raft captain at the helm, board your sturdy raft for a cruise down the 3-mile stretch of the well-known Martha Brae River. This exhilarating journey takes about 75-90 minutes on the long, 2 person bamboo rafts poled by your skilled guide. The upper part of the river causes the raft to go at a good pace, before slowing farther down river, where you may stop at "Tarzan's Corner", for a swing and a swim, in a calm pool. Witness an awe-inspiring phenomenon at the Mystic Lagoon. On arrival at twilight, you will be met by your host, who will offer you a welcome drink. The lagoon is full of tiny, harmless microscopic organisms that sparkles and glistens when disturbed. You will see an eerie light, illuminating from the back of the boat, and all around from the wake. Swim around and bask in the glow, or just relax with a hand or foot in the water. Your Captain will explain this truly amazing sight! You also will be treated to a Fire Show, Limbo Dancing and a Jamaican Dinner.
