    Traveled as a couple

    10 jaar geleden de Port Antonio trip voor het eerst gedaan toen ging je eerst naar de Bleu Lagoon en daarna een private beach to swim and eat. Toen gingen we van boven aan de Rio Grande naar beneden tot aan de Rio Grande brug. Dat was een bijna 2 of 3 uur durende raften. Dacht dat dit ook was nu hebben we een stuk van de Rio Grande geraft en dan weer terug (totaal 1,5 uur) Ook moet ALLES 1 prijs zijn,nu moesten we nog 70 dollar betalen voor het ratten. Conclusie trip matig chauffeur GOED ????

    Het raften was fantastisch. Dit kwam grotendeels ook door de taxi chauffeur die wij hadden. Omar, van Island Kodesh Tours liet ons zoveel mooie plekken zien voor en na het raften. Wij hebben een onwijs mooie dag gehad.
