Fun day in Jamaica!! - The tours were great. The crocodiles came up right next to the boat on the Black River. The YS falls were very relaxing. The tour guide took lots of pictures for us. The Appleton Estate tour and lunch was very informative. The guides were very friendly and knowledgeable. Ground transportation was on time for pickup and drop off. I would recommend highly.

A grand day out! - Very enjoyable trip with 3 totally different experiences, but all equally interesting and fun. River cruise was very informative and delightful to be so close to nature. Grandma became a legend because she held a crocodile! The ranger was excellent. YS falls provided time to cool off in the lovely waterfalls. The guide took us expertly through the waters and took plenty of photos.The swing from the Tarzan rope at the end was memorable. Appleton Estate was an excellent tour. The process of converting sugar cane to rum was explained well and enabled tasting of the sugar cane and molasses. After a walk through the factory and all the storage the trip ended with a great tasting session and opportunity to buy!

Amazing - What an experience. We have done about 5 different excursions in the past 6 days. This one was more relaxing and chill but still was so amazing. Om our journey stopped at a coffee hut and authentic breakfast cooked over fire. Then off to alligator territory. Our captain was fearless. Then off to y.s. falls for a dip and rope swings. And then an amazing trip to Appleton estate where is pays to volunteer. Hint hint. An amzing lunch a tour and a tasting. We actually bottled our own rum. Worth the money. If you stay in montego bay this is an all day excursion we left at 730 came back at 545. It was amazing

Best Day! - We had a fabulous day with our river guides, Romaine and Oshaye. They went above and beyond to accommodate our group. My mother in law was taken care of exceptionally. They loving referred to her as their Mee-maw and helped her in and out of the river. They also taught us a lot of about the world plants of Jamaica. We would book again!

Fun Tour - My husband and I had a fun time at this tour. I appreciated that we got to see a lot of sights in one day! I am bummed that we spent very little time at the waterfall, that was the most fun part for me. The guide rushed us out and then we ended up spending a good amount of time waiting around at the rum tour. However, all the activities were very fun overall.

Nice Tour - Enjoyed everything about the tour, would have been nicer to spend more time at the falls, but that can be a trip of its own someday!

Great Value for a Day of Activities - The safari and estate were great, but we only had 35 minutes at YS Falls and a very fast bumpy transportation ride because we waited 20+ minutes at pickup for a group who were late because they wanted breakfast. I would have preferred if the bus came back for them after dropping us off so that we could still have the appropriate time (2 hrs) at the falls. We even brought up the difference in the time and they told us the itinerary isn’t accurate. Loved the Falls, but felt rushed. The Safari was fun, even held a baby croc and the Estate was educational. It was still a great value for the experience, but don’t count on the itinerary and time being accurate for each activity.

Appleton Estate, Black River Safari and YS Falls - The YS Falls were beautiful. Not as large as Dunns River, but we still had a lot of fun. The Appleton Estate is beautufl as well. The staff were friendly, the lunch served was delicious, the tour/ education was very informative an rhe tasting was great. The Black River was a bit boring. If you have seen one alligator you have seem them all. We could of skipped the Alligators.

The roads coming back... - The roads coming back were very bad to drive on, lucky we had an excellent experienced driver. Chukka has made their billlions off of adventurers, thrill seekers and hard working Jamaicans; Chukka should step up to the plate and pay for some road repairs
