ブラックリバーサファリガイドツアー＆ワイズフォールズツアー

Amazing trip, excellent way to see Jamaica's countryside and nature. It was a private trip so only 2 of us, this was great as it gave us some flexibility on what time to leave YS Falls. Drive took about 2 hours to get to the Black River, mainly due to potholes in road but they are resurfacing so journey time will start to decrease. Roads are winding in places so if you are prone to car sickness you might find the journey difficult although I am sure the driver would have stopped if we had asked. Take your own water for the journey. Our tour organiser/driver was great and told us a lot about Jamaica. Black River Safari: Our first stop and the highlight of the trip. Must have seen about 6 female crocs and 1 male. The scenery is breathtaking. Our guide was really knowledgable and showed us nesting birds and plant life whilst searching for crocs. The Black River was in the path of Hurricane Melissa so there was a lot of damage in the St Elizabeth area. The safari is recovering well, bathrooms are clean/modern and they are constructing a restaurant currently. You will be able to buy cold drinks but not a lot else currently so plan to eat at YS Falls. YS Falls: Basic changing rooms (no fee), good quality food available and plenty of pic nic tables both under cover and in the open. Take plenty of sunscreen and a towel. Views are amazing, you can walk up wooden steps beside the falls and there are a few seating areas on route if you need to get shade or take a break. The falls are not that high so it doesn't take long to get to the top. If you can't manage steps you can get amazing views from the bottom and use the swimming pools. We went mid May, it wasn't busy which made the whole experience better.
