Savanna La Mar, Savanna La Mar, Caribbean 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.

It was all fantastic. The waterfall was wonderful and the pools were lovely. Our guide took MANY photos for us. I got some great photos of the crocodiles along the river ride.

This was the only negative experience we had during our stay in Jamaica. The process was disorganized, our poor driver was sent to multiple wrong locations. Once we finally arrived, we missed the tour and had to wait for another one. The river boat is boring. We saw a handful of crocodiles and some birds, that was it. The boat captain was pleasant and informative, that was the positive.
At YS falls we were dropped at the entrance without any idea of where to go, what to do, or who to do it with- we were left completely alone to figure it out. The falls are small with limited access to the water. We did go on the rope swing, even my youngest who is 10, it was very mild and easy for all of us to do.
Our driver, Ranger, was the best driver of the entire trip. He gave us so much history and information about Jamaica and the people during our drive- very much appreciated. I needed an ATM also and he went out of his way to accommodate us. He was the highlight of our day.
