PREZZY AND PALMER!! - I had the best tour of my life doing a river raft with prezzy and palmer. Omg it was so much fun. I was no expecting to have that much fun. They started by asking if we wanted to have a wet or dry tour and luckily we happened to be with a large group of people that wanted a wet tour. This was the highlight of our 10 day trip to Jamaica. Thank you guys so much

Tubing excitement, relaxing and fun. - Our guide was fantastic. Very considerate, helpful and informative. Our ages ranged from 13 to 65 and all had a blast. We opted for the wet tour 🤪 which made it even more fun. The amenities after the tubing were amazing, and we wished we had more time. Highly recommended.

Amazing Experience!! - Visited Chukka Good Hope as part of my friend's birthday celebration, and they did not disappoint. Everything was amazing—from the food to Prezzy, our river tubing guide, the rafting guide, and the bartenders. The front desk staff, omggggg, EXCEPTIONAL!!! Tanesha was the absolute bestttttt; she went above and beyond to ensure that my friends and I had a memorable day. Excellent customer service through and through. Chukka Good Hope deserves 10 stars.

Tachi is the man! - I recently had the opportunity to experience both a tubing adventure and a rafting activity, and I have mixed feelings about each.
The tubing adventure was a peaceful and relaxing experience. The staff was friendly and ensured we had all the necessary safety gear and instructions before we set off. The tubes were comfortable, and the river was calm, offering beautiful scenery along the way. However, the rapids were very slow, and the ride was quite uneventful. We didn’t get wet much, which might be a plus for those looking for a tranquil float but a bit of a letdown for anyone seeking more excitement. It was a great way to unwind and enjoy nature, but it lacked the thrill I was hoping for.
On the other hand, the rafting activity was an absolute blast! The staff was equally professional and made sure everyone was prepared and safe. Our guide, Tachi, was amazing. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the experience incredibly fun. The raft was sturdy, and Tachi’s expertise ensured we navigated the river safely while maximizing the enjoyment. The river had a good mix of calm stretches and gentle rapids, which provided a relaxing yet engaging experience. Tachi also gave a limestone massage at one of our stops, which was a unique and delightful treat. Additionally, he took amazing pictures throughout the trip, capturing unforgettable moments for us to cherish. Tachi’s leadership and positive energy truly made the trip memorable.
In summary, the tubing adventure is perfect for those who prefer a slow, serene float and enjoy taking in the scenery without getting too wet. The rafting activity, especially with Tachi as the guide, is ideal for those looking for a more dynamic and engaging experience. Both activities were well-organized and enjoyable in their own ways, catering to different preferences and levels of adventure.
Due to time constraints, and late pick up from the raft… I was unable to do the rum tasting.

rafting excellent, tubing poor - The rafting me and the wife had a excellent time with our guide Odell Miller. He was very knowledgeable and really made us feel very relaxed. I would recommend that it's for sure something you should do when there.
The only reason I didn't give it an excellent rating is because of the tubing our guide made us and everyone in our group feel very uncomfortable and it's not what I expected all the tubes are tied together instead of being separate. Really the tubing is not worth the money you pay to do it.

Horrible experience - The whole excursion was fun until we did the bamboo raft. I asked for a full body massage and bob groped on me. I was very uncomfortable! It all happened so fast. This was a horrible experience!

Return bus left without us and was told we had to wait 3 hours for the next one. - To be clear: the workers that guided us tubing down the river and guided us on the bamboo raft were great. They did a fantastic job and I wish I could rate them separate. They would get a 5/5.
BUT!!!! Beware of the “customer service staff”.
Backstory: we were dropped off at our excursion at 10:00am. We were booked for tubing and rafting with a return time of 2:00pm. We were delayed 45 minutes when we got there to do our first excision, tubing, due to the rain (no problem, not their fault). Before leaving the main building for our second excision, rafting, we specifically asked to be sure we would be back for the 2pm bus. The lady said she would make sure to hold the bus if we were a few minutes late.
We rafted and returned back to home base at 2:10pm (out of our control as we had to take a truck back to home base) only to find our bus had left without us. One of the workers informed us that the 2pm bus was full and couldn’t have taken any more passengers even if we would have been back right at 2pm.
We were then informed the next bus wouldn’t be available to take us back to our resort until 5pm. Keep in mind, food and drinks are NOT included. They “conveniently” have a restaurant and bar there that we could eat and drink at while we wait ($$$).
In talking with the customer service people and the “manager”, they offered us NOTHING but an assurance another bus was coming at 5pm and informed us there was “nothing they could do”. No water was offered. No food/snacks was offered. Absolutely nothing was offered for our inconvenience.
Only after all 10 of us got upset (yes…. they left 10 of us there to wait 3 hours for another bus) and told the staff this was UNACCEPTABLE, started making phone calls to our rep, and threatened bad reviews, did they magically find a bus to bring us home at 3:30pm.
Conclusion: excursion was fantastic. Coordination of transportation was TERRIBLE.
