YS Falls.

We all know about the famous Dunn’s River Falls, but are there really the best falls in Jamaica? No. There are too many tourists and vendors, high prices, and not enough to do on site. If you have one attraction to visit on the island, my personal favorite is the YS Falls!

This hidden paradise is located in the countryside of St-Elizabeth about 80km from Montego Bay and Negril. The Falls fee is only US$17 per adult and half price for children. You will board a tractor jitney that will take you on a 10 minutes ride to the waterfalls location. Welcome to the jungle! This amazing attraction has several features: seven waterfalls, natural pools, canopy tours ($), river tubing ($) and playgrounds.

Erik and I took my parents last year for this magical experience. We simply paid for the falls and we had so much fun! A guide led and helps us walk through the falls, informing us where we can jump or swim into the river pools and took great pictures of us (bring a waterproof camera!). 


Like any other similar activity, I would recommend water shoes, giving you a better chance not to slip and injure yourself. 

After enjoying yourself in the falls, you can choose to do more activities on site or just relax in the natural pools! You can either have your own lunch on one of their picnic tables or enjoy a light snack and beverage at the shop.  The YS Falls will always be a great memory for us and if you have the chance to go, I am sure you won’t be disappointed!
