• 4Informative and Enjoyable

  Mark was great! He took us on a historic journey and shared so much with us throughout our visits to YS Falls, Appleton Rim Farm, and the Black Safari River. Since we started early and didn’t get a chance to eat breakfast, Mark bought us a Jamaican Patti, which was quite tasty. My favorite was the Falls, and my husband really enjoyed seeing and learning about the crocodiles.

• 5Incredible experience and best way to see some of Jamaica's South Coast!

  Marc was a brilliant guide, giving us lots of information about Jamaica, the culture and the places that we were going to visit. My wife gets travel sickness and Marc was very accommodating, driving slower and still making sure we had time to see all attractions. The YS Falls were stunning, Appleton Estate was one of the best guided tours we have ever done (with amazing rums!) and Black River was great to see the crocodiles in the wild. Overall, it was an amazing day and well worth the cost of the private experience. Full of laughs, incredible experiences and lots of Jamaica! We would recommend to anyone

• 5Perfect Day Trip from Negril

  This tour was a great way to explore beyond Negril. Our guide Marc was extremely attentive and informative along the way, and knew so much about the island that he shared with me and my mom. He was engaged with us throughout the day, and we could tell he genuinely enjoyed his job. We absolutely loved the Black River Safari boat ride, and the Pelican Bar experience was one of the most unique we have had. Be sure to order some of the homemade ice cream from the bar at the safari company -- it’s delicious!

• 5Three 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.

About Montego Bay

Montego Bay, on Jamaica's northwest coast, is the island's best-known resort town, with reef-fringed beaches, rum-fuelled nights and green hills behind.

The beaches along the Hip Strip, as Gloucester Avenue is known, are the centre of seaside life, with clear water, bars and craft stalls, and Doctor's Cave Beach has drawn bathers for generations. Offshore, the Montego Bay Marine Park protects coral reefs and seagrass beds that reward snorkelling and glass-bottom boat trips.
