Black River & YS Falls Day Trip
Black River & YS Falls Day Trip
We'll pick you up from your hotel in Runaway Bay at 7 am to set off on our trip to the south of the island. For two and a half hours we'll travel along the north coast of Jamaica to reach the Black River.
When we arrive, we'll hop on a boat to sail the Black River. Its 53 kilometres long and is one of the largest rivers in Jamaica. During our cruise, we'll be surrounded by the most amazing plants and wildlife in Jamaica. Look out for the crocodiles! When we're back on the mainland we'll make a stop to enjoy a typical Jamaican meal.
After a short walk through the tropical forest, we'll arrive at a clearing where the YS Falls cascade down the rocks- a sight that is sure to take your breath away. The waterfall forms a natural pool where you can take a refreshing dip and you can also go for a walk in the surrounding areas or sunbathe on the rocks.
At the end of the day, we'll take you back to your hotel in Runaway Bay at 8 pm.
