Departure Point

Traveler pickup is offered
We pick up from most Negril hotels and other accommodations. You must contact your local supplier at the number provided at least 24 hours prior to the day of the tour to confirm your hotel or central pick up point.

Departure Time

8:00 AM
Begin your tour with an early morning pickup from your Negril hotel and relax on the journey to Jamaica’s South Coast. Along the way, enjoy spectacular views as you climb through the mountains and learn more about local life in Jamaica as you drive through rural villages and lush farmlands.

The first stop of the day is at YS Falls, a dramatic seven-tiered waterfall in the heart of the rainforest. Hop aboard a jitney (shared bus) pulled by a tractor for a short, thrilling ride through the forest, then enjoy some free time to explore the natural wonder. Perhaps dive in to swim beneath the falls, swing on the Tarzan rope, or get your adrenaline pumping on the zipline canopy (extra cost).

Continue to the Black River, where you’ll enjoy a typical Jamaican lunch (included) at the Riverside Dock restaurant, then head down to the riverbank to begin your cruise. Set sail aboard a pontoon boat for an hour-long cruise along the river, and look out for wildlife such as crocodiles, eagles, and egrets as you cruise downstream.

On return to the dock, your driver will be waiting to take you back to Negril. Your tour ends with drop-off at your hotel.

Pass By:  
Savanna La Mar
Savanna-la-Mar was originally established as a settlement in Spanish Jamaica. In 1780, the town was completely destroyed by a powerful hurricane known as Savanna-la-Mar hurricane. It was rebuilt, as the port was an important part of the Atlantic trade in sugar, slaves and other goods. After Great Britain abolished slavery in 1833 and before the abolition of slavery in the United States in 1865, its officials in the Caribbean colonies, at times ordered the examination of slaves on American ships that happened to come to its Caribbean ports, to see if they wanted to stay in the colony and gain freedom, or return with the ship to the United States and slavery. In the cases of the Enterprise at Bermuda in 1835 and the Creole at Nassau in 1841-1842, more than 200 slaves gained freedom. On 20 July 1855, Jamaicans boarded the United States Brig Young America, which had docked into Savanna-la-Mar.

Black River
What a memorable day it has been so far! Now you are at the Riverside Dock where you will have lunch. After lunch, you will meet with your Safari Tour Guide who is very knowledgeable & well prepared - eager to take you on a wild journey up the Black River. There you will get all the information on the Black River and its wildlife, including endemic bird species, crabs, rare or endemic plants such as water lilies and others - North American crocodiles and Tarpons also occupy their space in the Black River. Get your cameras ready as your Safari Captain call the crocodiles, feed them chicken meat and pet them - no, your tour guide is not crazy but they have an excellent relationship with their friends from the Safari and are ready to share their experience and expertise with you! You might even see local fishers snorkeling the river collecting their crab traps or spear fishing right there among the crocodiles and other wildlife - and no, they're not crazy! It's just a way of life!

The YS Falls property is home to horses, cattle, massive gwango and mango trees. You will be in awe as you make your way through the lush, green vegetation with crystal clear water streaming through the forest. At the YS Falls you can soak yourself in the 100% natural pools and cascades, swing on Tarzan Ropes, swim, etc. It is the perfect choice for a romantic getaway.

This tour is a MUST!!!
Martha_P

Our tour guide was amazing! Took a beautiful ride to YS Falls, which looks like its right out of a storybook it’s so beautiful. The bonus is that most tourists go to Dunn’s Falls, so we had the place largely to ourselves. The guides there helped us through the waterfalls, then a dip in the pools, and we were off to an amazing lunch by the Black River. Then a boat ride on the Black River, and while on the boat, our very knowledgeable and entertaining tour guide told us all about the natural history of the area while identifying birds and naming crocodiles. It was an absolutely amazing and unforgettable day. If you take one tour, take this one! The scenery, the nature, and the people made this one of the best tours ever!!

Great Tour

We took this tour on February 13, 2020. The tour guide, Junior, was a very nice guy and accommodated all we asked. The Falls were beautiful and the guys there took incredible time in taking pictures on our own cameras. The Black River was fun with Captain C who had a very personal relationship with the crocs. Very fun day. Would highly recommend it.

This tour was well worth it to try and see as many things as we could in our short trip to Jamaica. The only thing I would change is that even though I specified on my booking that I was a vegetarian, there was not a vegetarian option for me to eat at lunch, so i just had rice. YS falls was my favorite part, doing the cliff jumping and zip lining all around the gorgeous falls.

This was a great time. We were picked up on time from our resort and our driver was very informative and talked a lot about Jamaica and the customs. The Black River tour was awesome. Would have liked to see more crocs but the ones were saw were active and came right up to the boat. The guide on that tour was great and told us all about the Black River. We had a good lunch after the tour. Then it was on to the YS Falls. They were beautiful and we were on our own and could take our time. The ride from our resort was long but worth it. Would highly recommend this trip.
