Absolutely the greatest day trip in Jamaica - Hey Mon, this is the best day trip in Jamaica. Shevoy is an awesome guide, photographer and driver plus he has a very comfortable tour van. We enjoyed natural food at the local spot on the river during the river rafting. Later we jumped off the cliffs and ate lunch at Rick’s Cafe. It was a great day that we will remember for a long time.

Yes, book this one! - Te was AMAZING!! My sister and I really enjoyed our day with him. He stopped us at popular checkpoints so we could take pics and gave us a history lesson at the same. You will love him! The bamboo rafting did not disappoint. The guys were super nice and made us feel very comfortable! Rick’s was cool. The music was great and the vibe was fantastic. 10 out of 10!!

Unaccommodating and horrible company - We couldn’t make our excursion due to a serious medical emergency and I had let the company know over 5 hours prior to the excursion and they ghosted me and stopped responding! They only care about money and have zero empathy for others. Would not recommend them to anyone!

Beware of this company Stoney Vibez Tours and Great River Rafting company - Bamboo rafting in Great River using Stoney Vibez tours sucks. The Bamboo raft was driven by Shaun ( from Great River Rafting company) who did not interact with us at all. The bamboo rafting was only 10 minutes, then he let us down in this platform that sells drinks like Rum Coke in a half filled plastic cup for $20. No fruits nor drinks was offered to us as advertised in the website. The foot massage with limestone which is supposed to be included in the tour did not take place. They want to charge an additional $20 per person for foot massage. When we complain to the owner of Stoney Vibez tour company (Shavoy), he offered a “complimentary” Luminous Lagoon tour as he said in his response to my previous review, but the truth is, he just gave us a free round trip transportation from hotel to the ticketing booth of Luminous Lagoon and we have to buy our own Luminous Lagoon tour ticket at $50 per person. Beware of this tour company and their response to your review. Their response to my review seems very good but actually it’s a lie. We pay for our own Luminous Lagoon tour. The only complimentary thing Stoney Vibez gave us is the transportation to the ticketing booth counter of Luminous Lagoon and NOT the actual Luminous Lagoon tour as stated in their response to my previous review.. On the positive side, their drivers Lewis and Donat are very nice and courteous. The second half of the tour which is the Ricks Cafe tour in Negril was OK.

Great River bamboo rating sucks…stay away from this company - Bamboo rafting at the Great River sucks. The rafter only brought us to about 350 yards of slow rafting. He had no interaction with us, did not give us fruits to eat as described in the itinerary. He also wants us to pay extra $20 for the supposedly included limestone foot massage. Stay away from this Great River rafting. There are other rafting places with better reviews like Lethe or Martha Brae.
