WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1. YS Falls
Hop aboard a tractor-pulled jitney that takes you to YS Falls — a series of seven waterfalls that cascade into natural pools. You can cool off in the natural waterfall pools and a 4-foot (1.2-meter) deep wading pool that is surrounded by a patio and garden. Other activities include a canopy zipline tour and tubing rides on the river. Lifeguards are on duty. The Estate has a restaurant where you can purchase lunch, in addition to changing rooms, environmentally-friendly restrooms. Your tour ends with drop-off at your starting point in Montego Bay at the end of your full-day tour.
2. Swaby's Swamp Safari
Discover the beauty of the South Coast with a boat tour. Launch up Jamaica's largest navigable river and through what is Jamaica's largest wetland area, Black River Safari the Black River lower morass. The 1 1/2 hour boat tour up the Black River is well worth it. Cruise in a comfortable Safari boat past giant Red Mangrove trees with their stilt-like roots cascading from heights of over 40' down into the tranquil waters. See the rare and endangered American Crocodile in its natural habitat and view some of the 100 species of exotic birds in these unspoiled wetlands. You can also view local fisherman still catching fresh crabs in long, thin, traditional wooden canoes - in the same river as the crocodiles!
3. Floyd's Pelican Bar
Between Treasure Beach and Black River, you will be taken by a fishing boat to a rustic wooden bar built on a sand bar a quarter mile out to sea. The Pelican Bar is the perfect place to sunbathing, drinking beer, swimming and eating fresh fried fish. The Pelican Bar began as local fisherman Floyd Forbes dream of a bar built out to sea, resting on stilts. Large wooden planks were transported on his fishing boat. In 2001 the bar was completed and it was named "The Pelican Bar" after the large flocks of Pelicans who rested on the sandbank. It soon became popular by locals and tourists as a place of picture-perfect serenity. Watch the beautiful sunset (weather permitting) as well as the cliff diving and listen to the Reggae Band. A perfect place to sit back, relax with a cocktail in hand. The boat ride is between 15- 20 minutes but worth the travel.

Honestly couldn’t fault the experience and Andre (our driver). He was more than accommodating to all of our requests, made sure we were safe and having a good time, not to mention his humour, we were honestly all laughing the whole time. I would highly recommend using Andre and his services and I will absolutely be contacting him next time I’m in Jamaica to do it all again.

We had a wonderful time with Demar. We wanted to only go to black river and pelican bar. We decided at the last minute on the excursion so we called at 8 am and they were able to pick us up at 10 am! Demar was knowledgeable, patient and accommodating. I would recommend to anyone!

OMG Demar is on point. We spent a long day with Demar. We toured Appleton Rum Estates, YS FALLS, and Floyd's Pelican Bar. Truly and amazing day. Demar kept us informed on what to expect, as well as helped us with other things to do in Negril. This is an experience not to be missed and Demar is the driver you want.

Demar was a great host. He showed us many pints of interest along the way and gave us great information about the island. Will definitely use his services again in the future.

Shelton was an amazing driver and tour guide!! We spent all day with him, and he was so patient answering my husband's many many questions. =) First, we did the Black River Safari to see crocodiles. This was relaxing, but in hindsight, it probably could have been skipped. Next we were taken to a small boat that took us to the Pelican Bar. This was my favorite part! It was amazing to see! Last, Shelton drove us to YS Falls, where a guide walked us through the rocks and took great photos and videos of us. Bring water shoes! This was a good intro to see Falls, but there isn't much to see. (Mayfield Falls will be much longer and more challenging to walk through / climb.) YS Falls also has a pool, if you're interested. When we went, there were A LOT of people.. almost all locals.

It was a long day, so we ate a quick lunch at YS Falls, which was not included in the package. Important note: Entrance fees to the 3 locations are NOT included in the Viator package. I believe each of the 3 locations were $25 USD per person. I would recommend paying in JMD instead.. we paid a little less for Black River and YS Falls. Also bring extra cash for tips for your driver and guides at each of the 3 locations. In the end, this is a pricey tour. Pelican Bar was definitely my favorite.

My family booked a private tour of YS falls and Black River. We had Roxy who was an amazing guide and provided great service. We appreciated being able to customize our tour by making stops along the way and not being rushed with a big tour group. The private tour was a great value and we would use the service again in the future. Even though there were some mechanical issues with the boat which resulted in us being stranded in a crocodile filled river with a bush fire in the background and a torrential downpour, we had a great time! Thanks again Roxy for the amazing trip and laughs along the way.

The unspoiled beauty of this part of the island. The safari tour was very relaxing and YS waterfall was not as challenging as Duns River falls so it was much easier especially if it’s your first time
