River Sights
And Tours In Jamaica
|
Water is a major feature of the lovely island nation of Jamaica. While
most well known for the joys of its amazing beaches, Jamaica is also
home to a number of equally amazing rivers. With river activities that
range from peacefully gliding along by boat, taking in sights of the
widely varied flora and fauna, to the exciting and exhilarating experience
of white water rafting, a vacation to Jamaica is not complete without
a visit to one or more of its fine rivers. Tours are widely available
and easy to arrange.
Operating out of Saint Elizabeth, Jamaica, J. Charles Swaby’s Black
River Safari offers an unforgettable experience of the largest river
in Jamaica, the Black River. Traveling upriver for six miles, through
wetlands that are home to more than 100 species of birds, visitors will
see a wide variety of wildlife, including an endangered species of crocodile
that has chosen to make this special river area its home. The plant
life is varied, with all three of Jamaica’s mangrove types in abundance,
along with a couple varieties of palm trees and other natural forest
vegetation. A delightful highlight of the tour is a visit to one of
the most natural waterfalls in Jamaica, the Y.S. Waterfalls, which have
been unmarred by tourist industry excesses. The experienced guide will
provide detailed information on the flora and fauna, as well as the
local history.
Chukka Cove Adventure Tours, located a short distance outside of Ocho
Rios, Jamaica, offers a variety of adventure and tour packages. Among
these many fascination exploration opportunities is the River Tubing
Safari. Adults and children over 6 years of age can enjoy a three-mile
long trip down the White River in a tube. This trip is preceded by a
tubing and water safety presentation and takes a little under four hours
to complete. There are many sights to be seen along the river’s banks,
including coconut plantations, bamboo groves and other lush and natural
riverbank vegetation. Guides are knowledgeable and well-trained, parents
can feel confident in the safety of the tour, but, of course, should
exercise common sense and caution.
For a more relaxing river tour, in Port Antonio a delightful tour by
raft of the Rio Grande can be arranged at reasonable rates. For $40,
two people can enjoy a three-hour journey by bamboo raft, and will be
accompanied by a local guide to steer the raft along. A perfect setting
for an afternoon picnic, the rafting trip will pass through a variety
of sights with a local flavor, drifting through beautiful, tropical
rural areas.
There are many guided river tours available throughout Jamaica. While
some are meant for the casual tourist looking for a peaceful and relaxing
experience, there are many geared for those with an interest in eco-tourism,
seeking a serous look at the flora and fauna of Jamaica, which is known
for several rare species of plant and animal life. There are also a
variety of tours that are meant for those whose taste runs towards the
more extreme water sport adventures. Local tourist information stations
and hotel staff are able to provide information on the best tours for
you.

How
I get free airline tickets & travel on a shoestring
budget...
|
 Myth:
Cheapest fares are always found online.
 Truth:
Wrong. Many of the wholesale airline contracts are prohibited
from being marketed on a website. If you're only searching Expedia,
Orbitz, Travelocity and the like, you're not seeing all the
really discounted fares that are available.
Myth:
Buying direct from the airlines is good.
Truth:
Wrong again. You just eliminated the possibility of buying a
consolidator airfare, which is almost always cheaper than anything
the airlines offer, and, the cheapest airfare are sold
only by travel agencies.
Myth:
The airlines sell off unsold seats cheap at the last minute.
Truth:
This myth can cost you big time or the cancellation of your
plans if you're not willing to pay the exorbitant price the
airlines want to extort from you. Believing this myth proves
you have no clue about the airlines' distribution system.
