Glide down the picturesque Martha Brae River on a 30-foot (9-meter) bamboo raft, which is uniquely Jamaican. Spend the day rafting down this 3-mile (4.8-kilometer) river, learning about Martha Brae's history and plunging into the warm Jamaican water along the way.

The Martha Brae, the island's most popular rafting destination, lies about three miles inland from Falmouth, the birthplace of one of Jamaica's past Prime Ministers, Hugh Shearer. It's only twenty miles from Montego Bay and forty miles from Ocho Rios to go to the attraction. "Rafter's Village," the embarkation location, is six acres of finely maintained lawns on a natural horseshoe island. Picnic grounds, a full-service bar, two souvenir stores, a swimming pool, and modern facilities.

The tours of the Luminous Lagoon at Glistening Waters in Falmouth begin every day at sunset. The Glistening Waters boat excursion brings you to a location where Mother Nature has produced a stunning spectacle that is only visible after dusk. Visitors can swim in the waters generated by microscopic organisms that emit bioluminescent light and take part in the light display. The area is very shallow, and a visit to the Luminous Lagoon is an unforgettable experience well worth the trip.
