5.00Should you be fortunate to be hosted by Petal and Shipley you are guaranteed to have a memorable time . From pick up to drop off they were unbelievably attentive , knowledgable , welcoming and friendly . One love !! The trip was amazing value for money seeing as we visited 3 different attractions . Firstly, we visited the black river and was lucky enough to have a great guide and spotted at least 10 friendly crocodiles and lots of wildlife . The skipper even shook hands with one . The YS falls were amazing . However, due to recent heavy rainfall the current was very strong . Great place . Lastly, we visited Appleton Estate . We had a great lunch and the tour was hosted by Peter who was funny, knowledgeable and informative . The rum tasting was good fun . The journey home was an experience due to a heavy downpour of rain and Shippy navigated us safely home through mainly floods and cajs 😂 Petal served some light refreshments on the way back which made the 3 hour journey back most pleasurable . One love !!! 🇯🇲🇯🇲
The experience was nice...

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!!
Phenomenal excursion and experience

Our driver and tour guides were all phenomenal and went out of their way to make the long ride comfortable and fun for all of us. 10 stars for the excursion, all the events, and all the staff.
