Black River Jungle Safari, YS Falls Tour and Lunch.
(1) Departing after breakfast from your place of stay, you are
picked up by air-conditioned transportation.
Our experienced happy, qualified driver/tour guide will inform you
of the fantastic areas as you travel through the little villages
of Jamaica. You will not just be taken along the coast road but
in fact will cross over through the middle of our country. Emerging
on the south coast you will go through parts of our Cockpit Country
high in the Mountains, rich in history of days of slavery. Even
into the Maroon Country once called the “Land of Look Behind”
- named so by the British Soldiers. At that time they fought the
escape slaves which land was eventually given them by Britain to
run as their own country.
(2) On arriving at the South Coast – a haven for adventurers,
wanting to enjoy the lure of nature in settings that are natural,
peaceful and unhurried yet exciting.
You
will take a 5 miles safari boat cruise on the Black River wetlands
of the South where the natural dye that came from the bark of trees
was shipped to Europe for the making of fabrics. At
that time the residence of this jungle area of Black River enjoyed
the services of electricity even before New York.
(3) Have your cameras ready to capture various species of birds
perched on trees by the river bank, waiting to make their catch.
Crocodiles loll under the shades of the trees or tanning themselves
on the river banks. See these crocodiles that will swim along-side
the boat as the Captain of your vessel will call them by names as
he feeds them by hand.
Your knowledgeable tour guide will give you an interesting history
of this eco paradise and you should even see the fishermen in this
area that will swim in the river with their spear guns and shoot
a variety of fish of all sizes, Tarpon and Snook included, as fish
weighing up to 70 pounds has been caught in this area. You will
also see Egrets- a white gauling bird that is extinct in certain
parts of the world.
(4) After your approximately 1½ hour boat trip your tour
continues going over the old Iron River Bridge crossing the divide
and onto the original old Bridge House Inn for your freshly cooked
Jamaican meal right on the spot.
(5) Departing the restaurant you are now on your way through the
mountains of St Elizabeth for your tractor driven jitney journey.
This
will take you through the plantation and horse farm and, on your
way to the beautiful Y.S Water fall, be sure to take your camera,
swimsuit and towels along. There are changing rooms and good bathroom
facilities available.
(6) You will love Y.S. Water Fall, it is probably the most beautiful
waterfall in Jamaica. You can climb and or swim at the base of the
falls and enjoy the natural
whirl pools as the water creates little Jacuzzi’s as the river
keep flowing. There is also enclosed an olymptic size river pool
set in the middle of this jungle area for your enjoyment. After
your refreshing and stimulating, enjoyment there, you are on your
journey back to your place of stay. You will arrive between 5-6
pm approximately.
