The team were fantastic. Picked us up, the family had a great time, provided us with great education and then they dropped us back. Customer service 10/10.

Entertaining gentle cruise, very peaceful and cool. Take time out it is only 2 hours and worth while. Interesting to see Egrets nesting and their little chicks

Well! Cpt jace, what a guy. We were collected by his boat cpt & skipper. Two amazing hilarious guys. Just amazing, I really cannot tell you how good this was, but the reviews don’t lie. The river was perfect, the boat was stacked of drinks and just bliss, an absolutely perfect day with a perfect team. Thank you so much from us all, see you in 2025!!! Tom and Michelle & Billy

We booked the Negril River nature tour, and were pleased to learn that it included a reef snorkelling visit as well. Mayny thanks to our crew, Skipper and Tippy, who made to experience wonderful. They were knowledgeable about the flora and fauna along the river, as well as the historical significance of the river. We saw many large birds, including nesting egrets, herons, pelicans, ducks, and vultures. Once out to the reef, Tippy led a guided snorkelling dive where many tropical fish were spotted, as well as sea turtles, conchs, and a huge stingray! The tour was longer than promised, giving us more time to enjoy the beautiful scenery. A nice bonus. Highly recommended!

Wife and I took this tour the day before we had to leave. It was a very relaxing tour. Seen a lot of the natural wildlife, mostly all the birds. This was our second tour with Captain Jace and like the first one, everyone was very helpful the whole trip.
