The entire tour was memorable for me and my children. The fact that I didn’t have to drive and was able to see all the beauty of Jamaica was priceless. Jack and Tamara are by far the best driver and tour guide, and that made the tour very entertaining. Can’t wait to go in another adventure and I would wish to be lucky to get them as operators again. Highly recommend this tour, Black River, YS Falls, and Appleton Estates

Driver Elton James was really interesting. It’s a very long day but worth it. Waterfalls were brown & fast flowing due to the amount of rainfall so wasn’t able to actually swim in the falls, only photos taken at the edge. At the Appleton Estate we had a great guide who was very engaging. Lunch was excellent . We did see crocodiles on the Black River but only 2 species of birds.

My husband and I went on the Appleton Rum, YS Falls and Black River experience with our tour guide James. James was great and seemed to know alot . The black river tour was not great - 3 crocodiles, 4 birds and then we got stuck in some weeds and had to turn back. The crocodile nursery was interesting. due to knee surgery, I was not able to participate in the YS Falls experience but my husband enjoyed it. Our guide James was very attentive and made sure I had a good time while waiting for our group. The Appleton Estate Rum tasting was very good, informative and yummy (both the lunch and the rum tasting). The prices were decent in the gift shop as well.
