we booked the water rafting at our hotel (secrets wild orchid montego bay). 209 dollars for two people. The trip starts at 9:05am where a shuttle bus picks you up from your hotel and takes you to Chukka which is the activity centre where they do water rafting, horse riding and other activities. The 9:05am bus was late by 25 minutes but we didn't mind. Once we checked in at chukka we got on a coach to take us to the destination. It took around 35 minutes. The water rafting was wonderful. You got a choice of red stripe or champagne to drink whilst you were on the raft. You get a limestone foot scrub and massage by your tour guide. It's very relaxing but also very fun with music playing and people having the best time. Food and drink stalls are also available on the water. For an extra cost you can get a full body massage. One negative point I will make is it can feel a little awkward from time to time, as you felt like you had to always talk to the tour guide even though you just wanted to relax. This might just be us but it definitely felt a little tense at times.
The trip is around 1 hour. You take a bamboo straw away with you as a little souvenir. A great experience and nice to get out of the hotel.
