YS falls and Black River

Great tour. Our guide was so friendly and knowledgeable. 5 stars. There is still quite a bit if hurricane damage and the tour areas down south have not quite fully recovered. The waterfalls were pretty rough and the water was brown due to recent heavy rain. Still, the Jamaican people are wonderful and we had a great time. We were able to stop for a local lunch which was a huge highlight, and seeing the really large crocodiles in the Black river was amazing. Great family trip.

Stay was OK - not five stars

this tour was worth it, only saw 2 crocodiles, rum factory was interesting but long dragged out tour. WARNING: Private tour there, however the roads are in such a bad state with hundreds of potholes and not a pleasant drive, even the driver was frustrated on the 2 hour journey there and two half hour back on very narrow roads with passing dangerous as all vehicles try to avoid pot holes. We got tossed around in vehicle, would never do this tour again. Jamaica should be ashamed to offer it when roads are in such a bad state.

Operator response

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad you found parts of the tour, such as the rum factory, interesting, but we’re sorry to hear about your experience with the roads and overall journey. Unfortunately, the state of the roads is something beyond our control, but we understand how it affected your experience, and we deeply regret the discomfort it caused. We hope you’ll give Jamaica another chance in the future, and we are more than willing to assist you in finding tours that may better suit your preferences.

Black River Safar

Black River Safari was a disappointment due to the rain. We understand things can happen but they knew when we paid it was going to rain as our driver mentioned that as soon as we got on the boat. Within minutes it poured, thunderstorms and lightning . We all got soaked.

Perfect three-way combination in the south of Jamaica

By minibus first along the coast and then into the hinterland . Wonderful nature around the black river and the boat trip was relaxing yet interesting. Our guide had some chicken meat with him and so attracted one or two crocodiles to the boat . Continue to the YS Falls with magnificent park. Be sure to take bathing suits and the tour to the if wagon . It is relatively easy and unlike the Dunn’s river if almost relaxed to climb. And finally, the tour of the largest rum factory in Jamaica , with excellent guidance and, to top it off, tasting of three rum varieties . Highly recommended. It is all not very far , but because of the road conditions it still takes the whole day .

Operator response

It was our pleasure working with you and we are happy you had a great time all the locations. We look forward to working with you again in the near future. Thank you for your review.

Best excursion we did all week!

We were in Jamaica for 5 days, and this tour was by far the best one we did on our trip. The car was very clean and air conditioned. Demar was a very attentive driver. He was very friendly and courteous. We learned more about Jamaica and the culture in our car ride than we did on any other excursion. We had run out of cash, and there was no ATM at our resort to grab cash before we left. We were able to pay for the first two tours by card. When we got to the Back River Safari, we were nearing the end of business hours, but he called them and asked them to save one more spot for us. However, they only accepted cash. We didn’t have time to find an ATM before they closed, and Demar was kind enough to lend us the cash and took us to an ATM when we were finished. This is a must do!!

Operator response

Thank you for your kind words and it was my pleasure sharing our culture with you. your happiness is my happiness. Visit again soon.

Andre was a great tour guide! He was super accommodating and nice and did a great job escorting is to the various locations. He was also early when he came to pick us up, which was great because the other tours we booked all showed up more than 20 min late. Highly recommend Andre and his company, he offered great value!!!
