Full description
This trip takes you to the town of Black River, where you will board a boat and travel the longest navigable river in Jamaica, the Black River. This river was very essential in the past when the island was a major producer of sugarcane.
You will sail through the interior of the rain forest then through rural villages dotted along the coastline. As you travel, you will be free to observe exotic birds, plants, and wildlife ,such as the endangered American Crocodile. There are plenty of crocodiles along this river, so prepare your cameras to take snapshots. You will later take a break, during which you will enjoy a traditional Jamaican lunch.
Following lunch, you will journey into the western side of the island passing through the historic Bamboo Avenue, a true masterpiece of nature. After this, you will head over to a nature-based attraction, YS Falls, where you will have the opportunity to explore the amazing waterfalls which are engulfed by lush botanical greenery and magnificent trees. It will be here that you can change into your swimwear before taking a dive into the crisp waterfalls and enjoying the splendor of this 120-foot wonder.
