Discovering the Hidden Gems of Treasure Beach

Welcome back, fellow adventurers! This weekend, we’re diving into the heart of Treasure Beach, a serene coastal haven in St. Elizabeth Parish, Jamaica. With the sun shining brightly and the ocean breeze whispering tales of adventure, it’s the perfect time to explore the natural wonders that this charming locale has to offer.

Start your day early on January 25th with the YS Falls and Black River Safari tour. This excursion kicks off at 8:00 AM, promising a full day of exploration. As you journey through the lush rainforests, you’ll be greeted by the majestic YS Falls, a series of seven cascading waterfalls that invite you to take a refreshing dip. The natural pools are perfect for a morning swim, and if you’re feeling adventurous, try the canopy zipline tour for a bird’s-eye view of the stunning landscape.

After soaking in the beauty of YS Falls, the tour continues with a boat ride up the Black River, Jamaica’s longest river. Here, you’ll encounter exotic birds and the elusive American crocodile in their natural habitat. The tranquility of the river, coupled with the vibrant wildlife, makes for an unforgettable experience. As the day winds down, head to Floyd’s Pelican Bar, a rustic wooden bar perched on a sandbar in the middle of the ocean. Enjoy a cold drink and watch the sun dip below the horizon, painting the sky in hues of orange and pink.

“10/10 driver and experience - Honestly couldn’t fault the experience and Andre (our driver). He was more than accommodating to all of our requests, made sure we were safe and having a good time, not to mention his humour, we were honestly all laughing the whole time. I would highly recommend using Andre and his services and I will absolutely be contacting him next time I’m in Jamaica to do it all again.” - Reviewed at 2023-06-26

“Jamaica Forever - Everald!…. if you are lucky enough to know him you will never forget him. Jamaican guide who speaks very good Italian and knows every corner of this island. He took us for an aperitif in the middle of the ocean at the Pelican bar…. we went up the falls on foot…. ate lobster on a deserted islet and the next day ate lobster at his friend’s house on the sea. Courteous, kind, nice, patient and cheap, nothing to do with the prices of the Tour Operator. If you go to Jamaica look for it!” - Reviewed at 2024-11-26
