Tube Ride in the Rainforest!


The Trees were huge!


If you look you can see the zipliner! Another tour this place offered. Looked cool!


Bridge where we parked our tubes!


Rough Rapids. We would get told BOTTOMS UP when we had to lift our bums over rough water! We were warned we'd regret it later should we ignore this command!


Cool Tarzan-like vines.



Again, this bamboo is WILD!


Did I mention they made me get into the tube first?! I was so scared...Trevor was going to go first, but the guide yelled at him "Ladies First 'mon!". Darn it!

Trevor in the waterfall of youth! This is why we always get ID'd!!! ;)


Was a beautiful scenery and so relaxing!


Another waterfall that I found on our way to the Fountain of Youth!


Just around the river bend!


Cowabunga! We were too chicken to get out of our tubes to try this!




I think one of our FAVORITE adventures in Jamaica was our tube ride through the Rainforest. It was amazing. The water, however, was VERY brown and mucky but that was because they had so much rain the day before...I guess everything just gets swept into the stream of things! Trevor and I had a hoot! We were the only Canadians (shocker!) and we were with some great people! A couple girls from England who were oh so sweet and then some folk from Scotland who were a hoot!

The guide was probably the best part! He was incredibly clever and witty. He would use innuendos when talking to each of us that related to our country. He was very funny and involved everyone a great deal! I can't remember his name, which is a shame...but I do remember him vividly!

We got to tie our tubes up and venture off into the rainforest to this beautiful waterfall...where you had the choice to dunk yourself in it! I wasn't brave enough, but Trevor was - as the picture above shows! It was C-O-L-D water! I went as far as the waterfall, but not in! Someone had to take the pictures! ;)

It was a bit disappointing that we couldn't take our good camera on this trip as it would have produced some great photos...we took our little one in its water case and found that it was covered in sunscreen, which interfered with some of the photos...but still great memories non the less!!!
