Black River Safari Tour

Regular Tours

It is a scenic drive through the countryside on the south side of Jamaica. For a real life slice of Jamaican history pay a visit to Black River. The town grew up on the banks of the Black River and is one of the oldest in Jamaica.

Take a ride along the scenic south coast of Jamaica to an amphibious journey along the Black River, the largest navigable river and wetland in Jamaica, by boat. Your knowledgeable captain will update you on the ecology and history of the Black River and the over 100 species of birds and wildlife.

Discover the beauty of the south coast with a 40-minute tantalizing motorboat ride up Jamaica’s largest navigable river and through Jamaica’s largest wetland area, the Black River lower morass. This cruise takes you six miles up the river, during which a running commentary is given by your captain or tour guide on both the ecology and history of the area.

Over 100 species of birds have been recorded in the Black River morass and many will be seen during your trip. The endangered American Crocodile inhabits the area and sightings are very frequent! Feel free to pet these crocodiles!
For nature lovers in particular, the wetland vegetation is of special interest with three species of mangrove, thatch palms, royal palms along with the dominating freshwater swamp forest.

So don’t miss your chance to discover the wild landscape of Jamaica’s beautiful unspoilt interior.
