Experience crocodiles on the Black River Safari while cruising through Jamaica's largest remaining wetlands.

The Black River is home to the endangered American Crocodile. Experience an unforgettable exotic crocodile safari and see Jamaica‘s largest remaining wetlands.


During this unforgettable, six mile, 1 ½ hour boat trip, you are sure to see plenty of the 300 endangered American Crocodiles that live in the river.

The guides know the crocs on a first-name basis. “Come Charley, come”, says the guide, whistling loudly to see if the croc is hungry. The steely-eyed 12-foot crocodile approaches the boat while, just a few feet away, another, named Freddy, stares at us.

Red mangroves have aerial roots that reach down like pipe organs to the waterline below. As you glide along, 100 species of birds take flight.

Why not make a full day of it.

Hire a personal driver to stop at Black River Safari in combination with YS Falls and for a really full day, add a tour of Appleton Rum Estates! It makes a wonder day trip!
