River Tubing Safari

OVERVIEW

Go tubing down the meandering Great River as it flows through some of Jamaica’s most naturally beautiful countryside. After a brief orientation at the Chukka Jungle Outpost in the village of Lethe, you will ease into an oversized rubber river tube and head downstream. You won’t need to do much of anything but sit back and relax as the current will do most of the work. As the river carves its way through the jungle setting, the scenery will be spectacular. Wildlife is abundant along the tree-lined river, and the guide will point out and describe the most interesting flora and fauna. Brightly colored tropical birds are plentiful and spotting them against a backdrop of dense greenery is quite the sight. While most of the Great River is relatively tranquil, you will encounter some rapids, which will be exhilarating to shoot while sitting in the center of the inflated river tube.
