Awesome day out - Brilliant day trip visiting this wonderful part of Jamaica. The YS falls are beautiful and the guides that take you across the rocks are fantastic and will take all your photos for you. The black river boat trip was great getting up real close to the crocs and very educational too if you love the wildlife.
Evening Escapes: Unwind and Reflect
As the sun sets and the skies clear, the evening offers a chance to unwind and reflect on the day’s adventures. With temperatures cooling down, it’s a perfect time to enjoy a quiet evening stroll or relax at a local bar. The Floyd’s Pelican Bar is a must-visit, offering a unique experience in the middle of the ocean with good music and vibrant vibes.
The evening is a time to savor the memories made throughout the day, whether it’s the thrill of the safari or the tranquility of the falls. As one reviewer eloquently put it on August 20, 2024:
