Rafting for "Golden Girls"?

[Oceandi]

I would really like to do a rafting trip in Ocho Rios. We are in our early 70's in fairly good condition. Is it advisable? Is it strenuous? Rafting was always on my bucket list and NOW I'm thinking about doing it!

Haven't done this, sorry.

We have done the Bamboo Rafting on the Martha Brae River twice. It is a lot of fun and not very strenuous. You do have to walk down a small hill to get to the river and then back up about 10 stairs at the very end. The guides can be a lot of fun if you engage them and get them singing and telling stories.

We did this a few years ago and its was very easy and relaxing. We were with people of all ages. Great way to see the beautiful landscape of jamaica  https://jamaicacruiseexcursions.com/excursions/ocho-rios-river-rafting-dunns/

It depends on the kind of rafting that you want.  We have done the bamboo rafting and it very low key.  There is  trip where you have a small raft in faster water.  Then there is one a bigger raft with several people  in fast water.  It looked like Class II and Class III water.  Google rafting in Jamaica and you will find what is available.  We are considering the White Water Rafting with Viator.  Runs about $70 pp.

You may get it cheaper by booking with a local recommended guide. Try Courtney Taylor Tours. They do the White River Bamboo Rafting and you can get yo spend time  at the end of the river on a beach
