Private Tour

Lethe is a small countryside community in the lushous and cool hills of St. James Jamaica with a graceful stone bridge straddling the Great River that was built by slaves in 1820. Lethe spans over 200 acres and it was home to a former banana plantation estate, today the estate is home to garden experiences and river excursions. There are a few turbulent shallow spots where the bamboo rafts scrape the bottom, but the raft captains are highly experienced. Due to heavy rainfall, the water often takes on a muddy aspect, but it’s still safe for swimming.

Here you will enjoy the beautiful waters of the Lethe River, sailing down the river in a 2-person 30 feet bamboo raft viewing the beautiful surroundings that make this experience very unique.. You’ll learn all about the area’s flora and fauna as you float downstream on your private raft. You’ll also get the chance to stop to massage your feet with exfoliating natural limestone for an extra bit of relaxation.

Stop for a soothing limestone foot massage, go for a swim, or just relax and take in the sights and sounds of the tropical scenery that is around you.

Be sure to bring your camera to capture the beautiful, lush scenery along the river. Enjoy a fresh cut coconut to drink on your ride, while your captain talks about the environment, the river, and the surroundings.
