The Rio Bueno is located just about at the midpoint between Ocho Rios and Montego Bay. Coming from either, it's about a 45-minute drive. The River water ranges in temperature from sun-warmed to moderately cool, which is ideal for swimming. It's very deep in certain areas, but due to the gradual, gentle slope, the rapids are never more than lightly churning. Once, you get to the drop-off point for rafting or tubing, the adventure begins. Once you're across the bridge, you'll feel like you're in the middle of a beautiful rainforest. There's something magical about the trail that is covered in lush greenery, with the fresh smell and sound of the river running in the background. The river doesn't get extremely rapid, but it's just enough for you to get excited and get your heart pumping. At the midpoint of the river, you can pause and swing from ropes and plunge into the invigorating river water. Shortly after passing the iconic Old Colonial Bridge you will be picked up by a speedboat and towed into the Caribbean Sea at the shores of lovely Bengal Beach.
