Highlights
- YS Falls - Travelers will be driven across the grounds of the property over to the YS Falls & Park by tractor pulled jitney. There they can climb the falls assisted by guides, do rope swings, swim in different shallow sections, use the pools or just relax under the trees in the shade. There is also zip lining available.
- J. Charles Swaby’s Black River Safari - Travelers will enjoy a 1 hour guided boat ride tour on the Black River to see the friendly crocodiles, different species of birds, vegetation, flora and fauna and learn the history of the Black River and the important role it played during the slavery days, in shaping the first town in Jamaica to received electricity and a lot more commodities
- Floyd’s Pelican Bar - Between Treasure Beach and Black River you will be taken by a fishing boat to a rustic wooden bar built on a sand bar a quarter mile out to sea. The Pelican Bar is the perfect place to sunbathing, drinking beer, swimming and eating fresh fried fish. The Pelican Bar began as local fisherman Floyd Forbes dream of a bar built out to sea, resting on stilts. Large wooden planks were transported on his fishing boat. In 2001 the bar was completed and it was named “The Pelican Bar” after the large flocks of Pelicans who rested on the sand bank. It soon became popular by locals and tourists as a place of picture perfect serenity. Watch the beautiful sunset (weather permitting) as well as the cliff diving and listen to the Reggae Band. A perfect place to sit back, relax with a cocktail in hand. The boat ride is between 15- 20 minutes but worth the travel.

Black River Safari, YS Falls and Flyod's Pelican Bar -Extreme Jamaica Tours - Don't miss this tour if you want a true experience of Jamaica
We stayed in Montego Bay and Black safari is about 2 hour drive.
We took this private tour with Extreme Jamaica tours and it saved us lot of time as opposed to shared tour.
We got all the attention from the guide and flexibility with timings
YS falls, Safari tour and Pelican bar are all close to each other so it is a smart idea to cover all in one trip.
Each of them was a unique experience.
YS falls was less crowded and more comfortable than Blue Hole secret falls in terms of accessibility for non swimmers like us.
We had a personal guide who helped us climb the falls and volunteered to take lot of pics for us.
There is decent quite swimming pool area where we enjoyed nature whole swimming in pool ,scenic beauty was awesome .Don't miss rope jumping at the falls.
Crocodile safari tour was great ,tour was a good experience ,safari tour guide was very informative and let us take closer look at crocodiles .

Black River Safari, YS Falls and Flyod's Pelican Bar -Extreme Jamaica tours experience - We took this tour with Extreme Jamaica Tours.
We stayed in Montego Bay and Damion was our tour guide
Our pick up time was 7:30 and as per our request Damion gave us an hour extra, we loved his hospitality. He was there with us all the way through. He engaged us with interesting conversations so that we don't get bored . He allowed us to play our favorite music ,shared his hotspot connection with us so that we could access internet.
We were not prepared for water rides ,he took us to a decent souvenir store to buy water shoes. Took lot of pictures for us ,and helped us capture lot of memories .
He gave us a good intro about Jamaican culture and way of living.
Over all super good experience with this tour and company.
We loved all 3 YS Falls, Crocodile safari tour and visit to Pelican bar .
Each of them was a unique experience
Ride was pretty smooth ,though roads were bumpy ,Damion managed to give us smooth ride
