The birds chirp happy tunes, the gentle wind eases through the tree branches while they sway just as the Martha Brae River finding its way to the ocean 3 miles downstream. The Martha Brae rafting facility was established some 41 years ago and has not looked back since. Your safety at Martha Brae will never be compromised and this is why the establishment has a complement of over 80 licensed and experienced raft captain.
