5.00A really good day seeing all three attractions. Appleton experience is well worth doing. YS Falls are beautiful and guides are well practiced at getting pictures for you (tip: flip flops can't be worn, but crocs and other strapped sandles are ok). Picked up c8am and home c1830. A special thank you to our driver, Alex, who located my husbands sunglasses and dropped them back to the hotel for us - very much appreciated!!

5.00The tour was so much fun! We saw 3 crocodiles and the mangroves on the river were beautiful. The tour guide was fun and informative. YS Falls was so beautiful I’ve not seen anything like it. Despite the rain the rum tour was brilliant and Raysha our guide was the best. Petal and Jack made the journeys so much fun and well worth a long day

5.00Wow what an amazing day! The day was full of good vibes, fun and knowledge. Me and my family really enjoyed each trip, the YS falls were beautiful, the Black River and Appleton Estate was fun, lots of interesting facts and breathtaking experience. Petal was friendly and great at her job. She made each trip fun and Dave the driver keep the music going and got us to each distance safety. They both made the whole experience such a magical day to remember. Thank you.
