Excursions in Jamaica

We did a few excursions while in Jamaica.  Being a child of the 80’s, early 90’s, I couldn’t go to Jamaica without fulfilling the Cocktail dream of swimming in the waterfall.  Unfortunately, Hubby dashed my dreams by telling me the infamous waterfall was on the other side of the island from where we were staying.

Luckily, YS Falls was on our side of the Island!  We did an excursion that took us to YS Falls, then on a boating excursion to look for crocodiles, and finally to one of the local craft markets.

YS Falls were beautiful.  It was so much fun swimming in the falls, but we were glad we were wearing our water sandals and brought our Go Pro!  The rocks were very slippery and could have really messed up your feet.  It was also crazy how many people were trying to use their Iphones but not get them wet.  I can’t believe it worked out well.

Once we were done at the Falls, it was off to lunch.  The restaurant they took us had good food, and it was nice to get out of the van, as the trip to YS Falls was over an hour away from the hotel.  We got to see a little of the local color too!

Turtles everywhere! These were in the fountain at one of the restaurants we stopped at!
Yep, that is a cow.

After eating our fill, it was off to the Marina to go Croc Hunting!

This was an hour or so boat ride on a pontoon.  The guides were very good, and even knew the names of all the crocs we were looking for!  While they never promise that you will see any, we definitely got to see some!

We found crocs!
Livin the Jamaican life…
crabs!

Our trip was cut a little short by an incoming storm, but we still got a beautiful view of the mountains, and the storm actually made for a beautiful scene.
