Three excursions in one day! - An amazing experience! I appreciated every moment I had with my driver. He picked us up early, and we weren’t able to eat something before we left the hotel, so he took it upon himself to get us some patties from a place called jucci patties in Jamaica. At the moment, I thought it was such a nice gesture for him to do that because, not many drivers would not go out of their way and do something like that. I really appreciated him. He spent the whole day with us going to each place the excursions included. He made sure we were okay, and in good hands. From YS falls he showed us the tour guide that would take care of us and the tour guide was 10000/100000. As soon as he toured us around YS falls he took my phone and got every angle. All my pictures came out amazing. The next stop was Black River Safari, it was amazing seeing alligators for the first time considering I’m from New York City so I have only seen them in movies. The guide we had for this excursion was great, he told us many new facts about the safari, the animals that live there and he taught us about the water and why it’s called Black River. We were the only ones in the boat so it was a lot of freedom of asking questions and getting to know the safari one on one. Lastly, was my personal favorite the Pelican bar. It was an incredible experience from taking a small boat to going to the Pelican bar which is in the middle of the ocean. It stands strong , and there was a photographer available for pictures to purchase. All in all, the excursion was incredible, the sights were amazing and the guide made me and my husband feel safe, and more knowledgeable leaving Jamacia knowing more.

5 star service - Mark our driver was awesome. He was very professional, patient and knowledgeable. We chatted for the entire ride. He made us feel very comfortable and did not rush any part of our excursions, he also made great recommendations when needed. We definitely recommend his service.

An Unforgettable Experience -
Marc went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable, safe, and having fun. Whether we were exploring waterfalls, tasting local cuisine, or learning about Jamaican traditions, he made every moment engaging and meaningful. He had a great sense of humor, perfect timing, and a genuine passion for his country that was infectious.

This was an amazing tour... - This was an amazing tour worth the cost and travel. Firstly, it was private and our driver, Mark, was very personable enjoyable and he shared a lot of his culture with us. We were asking about Patties, local Jamaican food. He stopped and we each bought one, yum. We hit YS fall and it was very quiet. Ryan was our guide and took great pictures of us swimming and jumping off ropes. He was not overly friendly but we left before the crowds arrived. A definite must see. We stopped at a local roadside lunch spot where they use wood to slow roast their food. It was very tasty! Then off to a Black river safari. We were the only ones on our boat, our guide didn’t have a lot of animation in his works but smiled and had answers to all our questions. He called a crocodile over like a dog, quite funny. Our guide Mark was with us the whole time. Lastly, we took a boat to Pelican Bay Bar, a floating restaurant/bar. It was very cool and the beer was cold! The food looked amazing (fish was caught right there). It was a great day!!!

Amazing Tour while in Jamaica - It was an amazing day filled with lots of information on the Jamaican history, culture, etc thanks to our wonderful guide Wayne that was so nice to us, caring and so funny.. He explained the history behind each activity we did and also while being in the car….The Black River was so beautiful and calming.. We got to see so many different kind of birds, trees and even crocodiles.. At the Cascade, we got to take beautiful pictures as well and we ended our tour at the Appleton Rum Estate .. We did the tour of the Estate with Danielle and she was amazing.. We learned a lot about how it all started and who is behind the Appleton blending, then she explained the entire chain how they extract the water from the sugar canes, to the molasses? Etc etc and then we ended the tour with the Signature tasting cause we wanted to pay extra to get to taste more exclusives rums and we are glad that we did. I really recommend this tour. My husband and I had an amazing day ☺️☺️

Awesome adventure! - What a great experience. I would highly recommend this tour. It was a great way to get off the resort and experience Jamaica. Marc our tour guide was excellent and will make you feel safe and like he's a friend you've know for a long time that is driving you around the island. With it being a private tour its all about what you want to do and the pace you want to do it. No need to worry about a bunch of other travelers' wants and needs. Highly recommend this tour.

Fantastic, full day trip! - Fantastic, full day of adventures! Loved, loved, loved our driver and guide, Ryan. YS falls was fantastic the whole environment was very calming and beautiful. Black River crocodile tour was way better than we expected! Our tour guide was fantastic and Ryan managed to get us set up with a private tour in some amazing feat of graciousness. We were really looking forward to pelican bar but when all is said and done would say it's worth a quick visit but nothing you need to stay at for very long. The food was overpriced and took 40 minutes to arrive as where the drinks. Great pics but not necessarily something that I would consider a must do. So glad we did this to her really a great experience overall and can't say enough about how awesome Ryan was to spend the day with! Ryan picked us up a little after 8:00 a.m. and got us back to the hotel close to 7:00 p.m. so it really was a full day. We recommend packing some snacks and drinks and asking your driver for recommendations for place to stop for a quick bite along the way. We stopped at a Jamaican patty place that was delicious and also stopped for some roadside coconuts and mango that was out of this world.

Great travel day from north to south! - Amazing private tour from Montego Bay. This is a long day (7am pickup and didn't get back until after 7pm) but we did so much in one day it was worth it. Was great to get to YS falls right when they opened as we had the entire place to ourselves. Make sure you bring cash for the stops and food along the way. Yes, the roads and traffic can be rough but being in a Land Cruiser made it simple and comfortable. Our guide was extremely friendly and accommodating and very knowledgeable about the region.
