Black River Safari Boat Tour and YS Falls
Fringed with mangroves, the Black River is the longest in Jamaica, and you can tour this tranquil river on a guided boat tour. Nature lovers will be in heaven. Crocodiles and more than 100 species of birds, including herons and snowy egrets, are among the critters that make their home here, and you can learn all about the area’s ecology and history during the tour.
Black River Safari
A short drive away and often combined with the Black River for tours, the beautiful YS Falls are Jamaica’s largest cascades. If you’re looking for things to do in Jamaica with kids, this is a top choice. Some of the seven waterfalls flow into peaceful natural pools, which are lovely for a dip on a hot day. One of the pools is suitable for children as well.
You can also play Tarzan on the rope swing and plunge into a wading pool below fed by natural springs. Ziplining and river tubing are also available.
