What To Expect
Savanna La Mar
Savanna-la-Mar was originally established as a settlement in Spanish Jamaica. In 1780, the town was completely destroyed by a powerful hurricane known as Savanna-la-Mar hurricane. It was rebuilt, as the port was an important part of the Atlantic trade in sugar, slaves and other goods. After Great Britain abolished slavery in 1833 and before the abolition of slavery in the United States in 1865, its officials in the Caribbean colonies, at times ordered the examination of slaves on American ships that happened to come to its Caribbean ports, to see if they wanted to stay in the colony and gain freedom, or return with the ship to the United States and slavery. In the cases of the Enterprise at Bermuda in 1835 and the Creole at Nassau in 1841-1842, more than 200 slaves gained freedom. On 20 July 1855, Jamaicans boarded the United States Brig Young America, which had docked into Savanna-la-Mar.

Black River
What a memorable day it has been so far! Now you are at the Riverside Dock where you will have lunch. After lunch, you will meet with your Safari Tour Guide who is very knowledgeable & well prepared - eager to take you on a wild journey up the Black River. There you will get all the information on the Black River and its wildlife, including endemic bird species, crabs, rare or endemic plants such as water lilies and others - North American crocodiles and Tarpons also occupy their space in the Black River. Get your cameras ready as your Safari Captain call the crocodiles, feed them chicken meat and pet them - no, your tour guide is not crazy but they have an excellent relationship with their friends from the Safari and are ready to share their experience and expertise with you! You might even see local fishers snorkeling the river collecting their crab traps or spear fishing right there among the crocodiles and other wildlife - and no, they're not crazy! It's just a way of life!

At the YS Falls you can soak yourself in the 100% natural pools and cascades, swing on Tarzan Ropes, swim, etc. It is the perfect choice for a romantic getaway. Take advantage of the Zipline Canopy or Tubing while you are there (extra cost).

Family Fun

Although a very long drive from Negril, our driver Clyve (not sure how to spell) made it as entertaining as possible. YS falls and the property it sits on is absolutely stunning. Our guide at the falls took our camera without asking and took beautiful photos of our family. He refused to give it back until the end, he wanted and did capture each moment, it was so appreciated. Lunch at Black River was good, workers were very friendly. Our boat ride on the river was great, saw a huge well known croc and we had a great guide who educated us on the Black Rivers history. Highly recommend for families.
Just amazing

Absolutely brilliant trip.
There was another couple on the trip and they were great.
Our driver Clyero was amazing. He was friendly, informative and was responsive to our needs and requests.
From Negril this is a long trip, but totally worth it.
The Falls are stunning. Guides lead you through the falls and take loads of pictures on your own phone. A tip is much appreciated for this.
Then a short drive on to Black River and lunch. This was very tasty and loads of it. Boarded the boat here for a ride on the river and to see the Crocodiles. Staff are very knowledgeable and I would think guaranteed to see a croc or 2!!!
Not sure the YS Falls bit would be suitable for younger children as they are deep.

Enjoyable Excursion.. Long Drive

My husband and I really enjoyed the beautiful sights and rope swinging in the waterfalls! Seeing all of the crocodiles on the safari was really cool too, however, we had to wait until afterward to each lunch and were very hungry during the boat ride. It was also a 1.5 hour drive each way, so you have to be willing to spend a large part of the day in the car.
Long drive from negril but very good

Long drive from negril very bumpy drive but the two tours are really good once you get there. Lunch good too

YSFalls is absolutely beautiful. We loved the pool, grounds, falls and lunch. The Safari was fun, pretty & very interesting. The only thing we didn't like was it was 2 hour ride from negril. Also since it rained day before the water was brown & current was rapid. I was scared to go in water. Alot of people were going in & the workers were extremely helpful & accommodating. We were still glad to visit there during our vacation.
Fabulous

Loved both the Black River boat trip and YS Falls, but I think the Falls were just about the best.
Driver friendly and knowledgeable as were guides at the different attractions. Only let down for me was the price - I thought it was a little expensive. But I would do it again.
