5.00This was an Island Routes trip and it involved seeing natural waterfalls and swimming in the pools and spending time in the souvenir shop at YS Falls. The falls is on a cattle farm. From there the adventure continues at the Appleton Rum estate. A tour guide takes you are the factory and shows you how to make rum. Also learn some history of Black River and the role rum plays in the economy. Really good excursion and rum tasting.
We had a great time.

5.00The Appleton Rum Estate tour was great! Learned alot about the history of Appleton rum while getting to enjoy a tour of the factory and a complimentary tasting of the various rums made onsite. Our tour guide Keyon was fun and knowledgeable.
YS Falls was awesome, except for the fact that we got rained out! More like deterred due to lightening. We did manage to make it up to the top and get across a few of the walkways before getting out of the water.
Our tour driver, Patrick of VIP Tours was amazing! He was extremely professional and courteous while also being knowledgeable and friendly. Made the long day an easy one. His professionalism exceeded our expectations so much that we rebooked him for another tour 2 days later!
Very enjoyable day! Long drive, but...

5.00Very enjoyable day! Long drive, but time at each place was not rushed. Omar, our driver, was very friendly and accommodating. YS Falls are beautiful...much more quiet and private than other more widely known falls.
