30 Minutes From the Resort Strip
The Martha Brae Rafting Village is approximately 25 kilometres east of Montego Bay — about 30 minutes by road along the north coast highway. This proximity makes Martha Brae the most accessible river excursion from Montego Bay and one of the easiest half-day activities to fit into a resort-based holiday.
Tours from Montego Bay include hotel pickup (from any Montego Bay resort or hotel), the 30-minute drive to the rafting village, the 60–90 minute river ride, and the return. Most tours run as half-day excursions (3–4 hours total), leaving the rest of the day free for the beach, the pool, or a second activity.
