What to expect
Itinerary
YS Falls opened in 1992. It is a nature-based attraction offering the opportunity to experience the beauty of the waterfalls surrounded by lush gardens and magnificent trees.
There are seven waterfalls, several which cascade into natural pools. Some areas are fairly rocky and do not allow swimming.
Lifeguards on site, indicate which areas are for swimming, however, being able to swim is a requirement. There is a natural pool, fed by underground and above ground springs, which is more suitable for children and others unable to swim.
More recent additions to the attractions at YS Falls, include exhilarating canopy rides, which glide from the top of the falls to its base. These adventures are accompanied by experienced guides to take care of you along the way.
There are bathrooms at the ticket office, where tickets are purchased in order to board the tractor and jitney for the 10 minute journey to the waterfalls compound.
There are many underground springs feeding local water supplies, so all efforts are made to protect these underground water supplies.
Rainy months are May and October and at this time the river generally comes down in spate and swimming may be suspended.
Stop At:
• YS Falls, 2 Market St. South Coast Jamaica
• Black River, Black River, Saint Elizabeth Parish, Jamaica
• Floyd's Pelican Bar, Caribbean Sea | 1/2 mi NW of Treasure Beach, Treasure Beach Jamaica

Great Itinerary, very Fun. Odane is a great host, who is very tentative to his guest. Nothing really bad to say. Only thing for a family of six, it was a little tight.

Great Itinerary, very Fun. Odane is a great host, who is very tentative to his guest. Nothing really bad to say. Only thing for a family of six, it was a little tight. I would recommend catch a cab n tours for a couple or 4 people max. Especially for the long ride. But other than that, Odane had great conversation, very informative, and a all around cool guy. Thanks Again!Emily_C

Every stop on the tour was fun and interesting. We stopped for photos at scenic points as well! I had such a nice time that I hired Odane for another day of touring around western Jamaica. He helped me plan a fun, customized excursion. 5 stars all around!527antoinetteg

Awesome experience 👏....I initially thought it was going to be a group tour, we were pleasantly surprised the tour was private (only me and my husband). The driver Mr. OJ was punctual, professional, knowledgeable and friendly. He offered us a jamaican style breakfast (no extra charge). Vehicle was clean, smell fresh and air conditioner 👌. The drive was smooth and laid back given some of the rough terrain. The driver showed us the beauty of Jamaica 🇯🇲. Ten thumbs up 👍 😀 👌 😎 .Q3724AWangelac

Odane is an amazing tour guide and went above and beyond to show us things we will remember forever. I highly recommend him. We will use him for all of our future trips to Jamaica.

Odane was a good guide, friendly, obliging and considerate. We took the tour in our own time and were not pressed to hurry up. Finishing off at the Pelican Bar to watch the sunset and get our names carved into the bar was good way to round the trip off. You can probably google his website if you want to ask him any questions about the tour or the costs. I’m glad we did the tour with all four stops on it, it took about 12 hours from leaving the hotel in Negril to getting back there in the evening so it was a long day but good. The Appleton tour was interesting and made me appreciate why some rums cost more than others, YS falls were nice, we didn’t stop there long enough to swim there, either in the falls themselves, or in one of the pools near the base of the pools - we decided that lunch and longer at the Pelican bar were more important! The Crocs get up close on the Black River Trip. The trip lasts about an hour and you get to see some crocs, mangrove swamps and some interesting wildlife. All in all, if you’re going to spend the money on a private tour, I can recommend Odane, in fact we even booked our trip to Kingston Airport through him and turned it into a bit of a tour stopping off at the Bob Marley museum and seeing some of Kingston.8garyy

A great way to wrap up 2019 - we went with the full day tour that started with Appleton Estate for the rum making and tasting tour. Turns out drinking rum before 10am is a great way to start your day when you're on vacation (tip: you can buy a juicy pattie from the shop outside so you don't have to drink on an empty stomach - they were delicious, definitely try them). We then did the YS Falls which is great for swimming or getting your feet wet. I can see how some people can spend an entire day there just hanging out by the falls. Headed over to the Black River safari afterwards but unfortunately, the boat was full for our desired timeslot. We opted to not wait another hour and spend more time at the Pelican bar. That experience varies wildly depending on how many people are there at the time. It was a bit overcrowded when we first arrived but after batches of people departed, it's a fun hangout place to have a drink or go for a dip in the water (very shallow). This place also has foodstuff if you want a bite - but no bathroom so you'll have to go before or after. Lastly, if you get Odane James as your guide, he is a super chill dude and a great driver. I recommend him for your adventure experience.
