Travel along Jamaica’s scenic north coast until we arrive at a small dirt road that leads you along the historic Rio Bueno River in the lush valley. After going across the “Irie Bridge” and doing a short walk on a path that runs along the river bank, leading you to an open area where you will see your kayak waiting, you will be given safety instructions by your guides and make a gear check before launching into the river. Immediately you feel the power of the river current, as you go down stream the river will challenge you and your partner to paddle confidently through various areas of seven exciting white water rapids and picturesque river pools. Finally, you will paddle at your own pace to the beach where you can spend some time at the beach and have a cool drink at the bar before returning to your Cruise Ship in Falmouth or resort in Trelawny.

White Water River (Kayaking for 2) from Falmouth
Jamaica was the best stop for us on the wholecruise thanks to Karandas Tours. My two sons really enjoyed our time on the river with our guide Sheldon. He kept them safe and even though they had to wait on me a few times the kids still enjoyed it!
We will definitely recommend you guys.

Hi Dwight,
Just wanted to let you know that all 4 of use enjoyed our tour very much. It was fun and relaxing for all of us. Our guide Elvis did a great job of guiding us and keeping us entertained. He also did a great job of satisfying our requests to make our tour better by allowing 2 of us to switch to kayaks when we learned that you had single person kayaks available (your website indicated that you only had 2 person kayaks. That is why we did not book them initially.).
The only real glitch to our tour was that the shuttle boat that was supposed to pick us up and bring us to the beach was not at the pick up spot. This was not a big issue for us because we enjoyed the extra time we had to float down the river a little longer. But for some other guests, this may have been a big issue.
Our driver (Sorry, I can not remember his name) also did a great job. He was on time at the pick-up location and was very informative and the ride to and from the river. He pointed out numerous interesting facts about the area and appeared to be very knowledgeable about Jamaica and answered all of our questions.
If we return to Jamaica, we will certainly consider using your services again.

We had a great time on the kayak/tube. Our driver arrived right on time at villa, was informative on drive to tour. Guide on the river was great as were the people at the beach area.
All-in-all, it was a good experience and I’d recommend it to others.

We loved the tour. Everything went perfect and we were very satisfied. The driver was prompt and courteous. The guide was fantastic. There isn’t any thing we would change. I have absolutely only positive things to say. We will recommend your tour company to all our friends and family.
We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers for the impending hurricane Mathew.
Thank you

Hi Dwight,
We had a great time in Jamaica, and your tour (kayaking on the Rio Bueno river) was enjoyed by all. I arranged the kayaking tour for a group of 16 (my family and 2 other families). Everyone had a lot of fun.
The tour guides and transportation service did a great job. All tour guides (Ayotola, Curtis – kayak tour guides; and Rudy – shuttle driver) were professional, helpful and were a pleasure to be around. They were conscious of keeping everyone safe and at the same time helped to make sure that all had a good time.
Our group plans to post positive reviews about your services, and would be happy to work with you for any future excursion and transportation needs in Jamaica. Have a great weekend.
Regards,
Greg

Hello,
We really enjoyed our excursion! It was lots of fun and a great value. Brenton (I think that was his name) was a great guide. Time on the beach at the end was nice.
We will highly suggest you to all going to Jamaica.
Thank you!

We had a great time. I will get to tripadvisor in the next few days with a review. The driver was excellent.
Thanks!

Hi Dwight,
Our excursion was excellent! I don’t remember the name of our driver, but he was driving us and another couple and he made the afternoon as good as it was. His flexibility allowed us to stay on the beach longer than other tours and soak in the Jamaican sun and enjoy the beautiful ocean views. He was also very friendly and helpful picking us up and dropping us back at the port.
Our tour leader was Captain Jack, who was fun to talk with and very good at navigating us down the river. His instructions were great, and he made the kayaking a very fun morning. The rope swing along the river was also a highlite.
Overall, the excursion was amazing and the next time we’re in Jamaica, we’re already planning to book through you again!

Thank you for a wonderful tour in Jamaica. The drivers where great and the two tour guides we had for kayaking where fantastic. We where the last tour so we had the river and the guides to ourselves. They where great at getting us back on time and the price for the tour was just right. I am a travel agent and will highly recommend your company. I will also put a review on trip advisor. We are looking forward to coming and staying awhile next time. Thanks again!

Our experience with the driver was top notch. We have no complaints. The directions that were given to us prior were very clear. We would definitely choose this company again for excursions in Jamaica. Had a great time on the river, only wish it lasted longer!
