Privé safaritour door de Black River vanuit Montego Bay

Booked this excursion through Island Routes desk a Hyatt Zilara. Be aware that it is a 1.5 to 2-hour drive from Montego Bay resorts. The shaded boat is a plus when temps are in the 80s / 90s F. We saw other guided tours that had no roof on the boat and the people looked hot. The guide was knowledgeable and very entertaining. The tour lasted about an hour. Highly recommend if you want to get close to the island wildlife.

We namen de Black River Safari-tour op zondag 26 mei! Het was FANTASTISCH - en dit is het moment om het te doen als je de jonge zilverreigers op hun best wilt zien! ! ! Onze gids was zeer goed geïnformeerd - geen vraag onbeantwoord gebleven. Hij heeft ook een unieke methode om de alligators te kennen? van NAME - PLUS - hij zou ze naar de boot kunnen bellen! Hun boot was veilig en zeer comfortabel - met een geweldige luifel om je te beschermen tegen zowel de zon (of regen). Dit is een zeer unieke kant van Jamaica die ik nog nooit had meegemaakt - ondanks dat ik hier al meer dan 25 jaar te gast ben! ! De familie Bennett weet je echt HUN Jamaica te laten zien! ! Nodig iedereen en iedereen uit om deze geweldige tournee te nemen als onderdeel van je Jamaicaanse ervaring! !

The tour to both locations make this trip worth the time it takes you to travel there from Montego Bay. You will be at least 3 hours each way, so a 6 hour round trip if nothing interrupts your drive. Black River was a boat ride down the river in search of some crocodiles and different species of birds. All of which we did see and learned some interesting facts about Manatees which use to populate this river. A couple of things you should know is that there is lunch available for sale when you get to the sight, which we had not been advised of at time of booking. The cost was $12 a plate and there was a bar you could purchase drinks if you chose too. The trip down the river was interesting as the boat driver talked about the crocks, King Birds and manatees , but was very poor at pointing out any other birds or other wild life. Also upon return he provided no commentary at all which was very disappointing and then he asked for a tip. YS Falls is a self directed type of tour. You get a ride up to the falls then walk up multiple stairs to the different levels of the falls, which are breath taking. One of the levels has a rope where you can swing out over the pool area of the falls and many folks had great fun doing this! At the bottom of the falls and entrance to them is a pool where you can enjoy swim and there is a zipline ride over the area too. We viewed multiples of hummingbirds in this area, apparently there are 300+ types of them in Jamaica . The YS Falls area was certainly a good place to view a few of them the day we were there! Worth the trip if you can stand the drive to and from.
