Take the tour - This tour takes the whole day, considering the distance between the 3 destinations. But it's definitely worth it! The waterfalls are breathtaking, the Appleton Estate tour is informative, and the lunch served at the estate is delicious - I wish I could have had seconds. The private tour of the Black River was stunning, and I even had the chance to hold a baby crocodile! I highly recommend. The staff with VIP tours Jamaica Shoshana and Jack were accommodating, comedic and knowledge.

Worth Booking - My wife and I booked this package through Chukka during our trip to Montego Bay & we were not disappointed. We were glad we booked it with a tour company as the roads are small & windy. The drive from Montego Bay is a couple of hours. Yet our driver was amazing & provided a lot of wonderful information. This is a fantastic way to see the sights & country outside of the city. We were definitely not disappointed. We enjoyed learning about the Black River, seeing the YZ Falls & learning about how to make rum at Appleton Estates. At the falls take tip money as the lifeguards will assist you walking around the falls & take your pictures. The tour guide at the Black was very knowledgeable & let us touch us a crocodile. Finally, the Appleton Estate Tour was very informative & interactive. We would definitely recommend & we were not disappointed.

Great experience, highly recommended - Patrick was fantastic…. Spending 8 hours driving the roads of Jamaica is not an easy thing but he did so amazingly well. Great guide, car was clean (and cool thank god!). Would highly recommend him and would use him again

A very full day experiencing this beautiful island - Everything was awesome. The Appleton Estate tour was fantastic…entertaining and informative, and the 3 rums was tasted were outstanding.
YS falls: a beautiful spring-fed series of falls with natural pools to swim in, rope swings, a guide who took a ton of great pictures, and great jerk chicken and fries. What else do you need?
The Black River tour was a beautiful ride through the mangroves with Egrets, Herons, and 5 or 6 good-sized crocodiles. Our captain was informative and hilarious.
Our Driver/guide, Jermaine, was outstanding. He told us about the history of the island and life on the island. He made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. We will absolutely book with him again when we come back to this beautiful island.

Appleton estate was great... - Appleton estate was great and so was the safari, the falls was closed due to weather, but the pelican bay was ok.

No defined itinerary; no defined meal time; too long of a day - We enjoyed Appleton Estates and YS Falls. I would have liked if the itinerary was spelled out on where and when we were going to each location and how long it would take to drive to and from each location. We opted to not go on the safari because we didn’t want to get back to hotel so late. There should’ve been defined meal times and stops for a 12 hour day. Patrick our driver was very nice.

Appleton tour - It was okay had lunch and the tour. We went to different sessions and tasted some rum. Watched a short film about when and how it started. It was sad knowing the history.
