This was the best tour we had been on while in Jamaica. The driver and the tour guide introduced themselves to the group. They gave us local history and fork lore that made the long 3 hr trip enjoyable. We stop for a break and they let us take pictures at a beach. Get something to drink and just stretch our legs. The riverboat captain was great he told us about the crocodiles and he even had one come to the boat so we could take a picture up close. YS Falls was beautiful My sister really enjoyed this part of the tour. We were given time to explore on our own. The climb up the stairs to the different levels of the waterfall was difficult at times, but they had guides to help you. The Appleton Rum Estate was nice. They greeted us with a rum punch when we arrived. We had a traditional Jamaican meal of Jerk chicken,peas and rice and local vegetables. On the drive home the driver stopped so we could buy snacks from the local food vendors along the road. This tour gave you a real since of life on the island.I would take this tour again.

Trip was well worth it. The Black River was amazing, as was the YS falls. Lunch was fantastic. Great local cuisine. Tour guide was knowledgeable and friendly and provided a good feel of the country.

Except for the being told that we had to wait for a later date to take excursions because not enough at the time and we had a flat tire with our excursion plus it rained on the posponed. The excursion itself was very good. We enjoy using viator for excursions. If is wan't for us to notify of course 24 hours in advance we were wondering if we would of been notified of the delay.

I met a wonderful group of peopleon this tour! You do not have to wear a bathing suit if you don't mind getting a little wet, I didn't want to go under the water. You do need a pair of water shoes. It was a great time! I took lots of great pics on this tour. It is long, so your whole day is basically gone, but seeing the beautiful country and mountains and rivers are worth it.

The Black River Safari and YS Falls were great. They were worth every penny. I could have done without the rum tour.
