Stop 1
On the White River tubing travelers can expect a mix of adventure, relaxation, and stunning Jamaican scenery.
Guest begin at a calm entry point where guides help you into your individual inflatable tube. The White River is known for its crystal-clear, cool water refreshing on a warm day and its gentle current carries you through a mix of tranquil stretches and mild rapids.
As you float downstream, you’ll see lush tropical vegetation lining the banks—bamboo groves arching over the river, coconut palms, ferns, and wildflowers. You might catch sight of local birds flitting above or small fish swimming beneath your tube. In some spots, you’ll hear the sound of rushing water before gliding over small cascades that add a fun burst of excitement. Guides often point out interesting plants, historical tidbits, and hidden swimming spots. Depending on the tour, there may be stops where you can hop off your tube for a short swim, take photos, or simply soak in the peaceful surroundings.

The climb is a mix of adventure and fun—cool, rushing water splashing around you as you step from one natural pool to the next. Along the way, there are flat spots where you can pause, take photos, or simply enjoy the refreshing water.
