The 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

Wow 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.

Chukka adventures Black River Safari, YS Falls and Appleton Rum Factory tour Included transportation, all entrance fees, tours, delicious lunch and rum tasting. Truly a wonderful tour. Our bus driver Jack and tour guide Petal were outstanding. Jack is a very skilful driver and Petal was very informative and spoke in a clear concise voice giving us interesting facts as we passed through each town. First stop was the Black River Safari where we took a boat trip up the Black River. Our awesome Captain Cornell was truly entertaining. We saw tons of birds and 2 very large crocodiles! Such a terrific stop and well worth the trip. Next up was YS Falls where we climbed the falls and jumped into the ice cold refreshing water just under a sparkling waterfall. YS Falls is a must stop destination with lots of pools if you don’t want to climb the falls. There a safe hand rails and proper steps. Change rooms, clean bathrooms, picnic tables dot the picturesque grounds. Chukka provided snacks and water after our swim. Last stop but certainly not the least was the fun Appleton Rum Factory where we had a delicious jerk chicken and pork lunch with rice and peas, Cole slaw, and sweet potato salad. Absolutely delicious and served by Burma. Then we had 2 cocktails - a rum punch and stormy ???. Tiffany our guide led us on an informative tour and then we sampled Appleton Signature, Appleton 8 year old and Appleton 12 year old rum! Definitely worth the trip especially in this order. On the bus ride back to our resort our wonderful Chukka guide Petal plied us with more rum punch while Jack played the tunes. We made a much appreciated bathroom stop before dropping off people and their various hotels. All in all this is probably one of the best tours I’ve ever been on and I would highly recommend it! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
Amazing and very complete tour

Our driver Mr Jack pick us up on time, the guide (I unfortunately don’t remember her name) it was a very sweet lady, even tho she had a terrible neck pain she was very attentive, making jokes with us the entire drive, explaining everything around us as well, our first stop was black river we got to saw a huge crocodile that the guide call over, we also got to hold little ones that keep in the nursery, second stop was YS falls, the amazing falls plus 3 pools, 2 warm termal water and 1 cold spring water, 3rd stop was Appleton, our guide at this point had already gave us water and snacks, on Appleton we got to have a delicious lunch plus a complementary cocktail and then the rum tasting of course right after they explain us the entire process of how is make, and last but not least after this our guide surprised us once again with rum punch for everyone!! This is an amazing experience specially for the price, the people is tremendously nice and friendly, we spend the entire day just laughing and having the best time!
