What to expect

Jamaica's longest river, Black River, is a tropical wildlife haven. Spend time on its languid waters with this full day tour, taking in ancient mangrove swamps and prehistoric crocodiles and having a refreshing dip in the waterfall pools of the famous YS Falls.

You'll take a scenic drive through densely forested mountains before climbing aboard your pontoon boat. Drift silently downriver, soaking up the sights and sounds of the jungle – all the while learning about the ecosystem's specific wildlife from your local guide.

Glide past huge mangroves and beady-eyed crocodiles peeping from the water, which your guide will lure to the surface for some great photo ops by tossing food from the boat. Finish your trip at the beautiful, cascading waters of the YS Falls, where you'll cool off in the refreshing waters of one of its natural pools.
