Anyone Gone River Tubing in Ocho Rios?

We booked a tour with Peat Taylor in May. We are doing the Falls and going river tubing. I am very afraid of snakes and am quite nervous about the whole tubing thing , can anyone tell me what the tubing was like? is it very jungle like? I'm afraid of getting there and then backing out due to the surroundings. Any advise would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

My husband and I went tubing on the White River just last week. We saw absolutely no snakes, and the river is not jungle-like - there are trees overhead, but not with vines hanging down or anything. It was very relaxing after climbing the Falls. Have a great trip!

We went river tubing and thought it was the best part of our Ocho Rios tour. No snakes at all. It was a very beautiful, peaceful ride down the river. We had two guides that were very busy helping us all if we drifted to shore and just keeping us all in good shape. Nothing at all to be afraid of and this comes from a 57 year old chicken. I'd do it again in a heart beat !!

We used to tube the Whthalacoochie River in Central Florida. I'm not partial to Gators either but I'm still here (with all limbs intact) :lol Seriously what the others said is exactly right. Very quiet and relaxing compared to the crowds at Dunns River Falls. :thumb

Our group did this 3 years ago and LOVED it our favorite port by far!

This was one of our favorite things. My 62 lb. little girl did it (although one of the great guides lashed her tube to his). Our guide at an unrelated shore tour (horseback riding) indicated when we asked that most Jamaicans live out their lives without seeing a snake. Believe me it was a concern we had before we went tubing and they indicated there would not be snakes, but they were trying to sell a river adventure. Having someone on a plantation confirm this was comforting.

I recently did The White River tubing excursion along Dunn's River Falls and sight-seeing with Peat Taylor. It was a great excursion, It was my wife and I along with my 2 daughters. Didn't see any snakes, I do not think there is much of a problem with snakes in Jamaica. I really enjoyed this excursion and touring with Peat, You cannot go wrong booking any of his tours:
