Private YS Falls and Black River Safari from Runaway Bay

Summary

Be ready for hotel pickup bright and early at your Runaway Bay hotel. Meet your dedicated guide, then climb into your private tour vehicle and begin your journey to Jamaica's south coast.  Relax along the way, watching small villages pass by as you wind through the hills and mountains. Listen to your guide's commentary on the history and culture of the area during the drive.  Arrive at YS Falls, where you'll climb into a tractor-hauled jitney for a short ride through the woods up to the falls. Spend time exploring the falls and the surrounding area, which includes two natural pools for swimming, a rope swing, and zipline canopy, and a restaurant (activities and food at own expense).  You can also choose to stop for lunch at the Riverside Dock (own expense) before boarding the pontoon boat that will take you up the Black River. As you ride, listen to information about the surrounding environment and keep watch for nesting egrets, eagles, and crocodiles.  Back on land, reboard your tour vehicle and head back to your original departure location for drop-off.
