Black River Safari

Discover the beauty of the South Coast with a motorboat tour up Jamaica’s largest navigable river and through our island’s largest wetland area, the Black River lower morass. The basic tour takes you six miles up the river and back, during which your captain will offer running commentary on both the ecology and history of the area. Over 100 species of birds have been recorded in the Black River morass and many can be seen during your trip. The endangered American Crocodile (cactus) inhabits the area and sightings are very frequent. The wetland vegetation is of special interest, with three species of mangrove, thatch palms, royal palms and freshwater swamp forest dominating. A not-to-be-forgotten experience!
