Montego Bay Trip Overview
Unlike many waterfalls in Jamaica, YS Falls is tucked away in a secluded rural location and receives relatively few visitors, allowing you to relax and enjoy the surroundings, away from the hubbub of the crowds. Once you arrive at the estate a tractor-pulled jitney will take you to the waterfalls.
The YS Falls are 120 foot tall and cascade over seven levels. Steps have been built up the side of the falls so visitors can view the falls without getting wet.
follow by Blackriver safari The 1 1/2 hour boat tour up the Black River is well worth it. Cruise in a comfortable Safari boat past giant Red Mangrove trees with their stilt-like roots cascading from heights of over 40′ down into the tranquil waters.
See the rare and endangered American Crocodile in its natural habitat and view some of the 100 species of exotic birds in these unspoiled wetlands. You can also view local fishermen still catching fresh crabs in long, thin, traditional wooden canoes – in the same river as the crocodiles!
