New Reggae Rafting at Lethe

CHUKKA Ocean Outpost Expedition Experience

Jamaica’s only ocean-inspired nature-adventure outpost has added another expedition experience to its menu to give guests an opportunity to experience Jamaican culture by ‘Reggae, Roots and Romance.’ Chukka Ocean Outpost at Sandy Bay has redefined the way travelers can immerse themselves into the destination by showcasing the best of Jamaica from a conveniently located hub on the western side of the island.

The new Reggae Rafting Expedition has been added to an already robust menu of destination defining experiences, such as the Mountain to Sea ATV/Buggy, Mountain to Sea Horseback Ride ‘N’ Swim, Power Snorkel Party Cruise and Expedition to the Jungle for a zipline and river tubing experience through a pristine and untouched rainforest. This is also in addition to the many Instagrammable spots and spaces that the Outpost offers, such as the Seaside Infinity Pool & Bar, two beaches with ocean swings, the Hammock Zip Splash into the ocean, Gilly’s Restaurant & Bar, overwater gazebo with ocean swings and lounging nets, seaside sanctuary with lounging beds and ocean swings, and more.

Located in the hills of Hanover, Jamaica and nestled on the bank of a magnificent stretch of the Great River is the countryside community of Lethe. Home to picturesque views of the lush surrounding valleys and tranquil gardenscapes – from the rolling hills to the calming ripples of the cool water, guests who visit this Chukka Expedition location will leave with memories to last a lifetime.

Spanning 200 acres, Lethe was home to a former banana plantation estate. Today the estate is home to garden experiences and river excursions. The Chukka Expedition Safari to the Reggae Rafting at Lethe brings a unique twist – with an experience that will be immersed in culture through Reggae music and country roads.

The reggae melodies that flow through the veins of Jamaica’s culture and people will set the tone as soon as you board the reggae-themed bus. Learn about how this rich musical genre influenced the world through the life of the legendary Bob Marley. On arrival to the Lethe village, step aboard a hand-crafted 30-foot bamboo raft piloted by a certified expert raft captain. You will learn about the history of the land, the lifestyle and culture of historic Jamaica that is still alive in the rural community and about the surrounding flora in the lush valley. Included in the package for your ‘limo on the river’ experience is a Lethe village classic – in the form of a limestone foot rub and a bottle of prosecco with two flutes, or four bottles of cold Red Stripe (light beer also available) and a coconut with two bamboo straws.
