Black River Safari (J. Charles Swaby's)

Get away from the beach bars and explore one of Jamaica's natural wonders on a safari cruise up the Black River, Jamaica's largest navigable river. Over 100 species of birds have been found in the jungle along the waterway, as well as mangroves and thatch palms. Not to mention - the American crocodile lives in the river's wetlands. Several hotels will book the trips, and perhaps the most well known safari tour is J. Charles Swaby's. Tours include a lunch buffet of Jamaican cuisine, a visit to Jamaica's largest, and privately owned waterfalls (YS Falls) an-hour-and- a-half safari boat ride six miles up the river, and round-trip transportation.
