My husband and I visited YS Falls. It was a longer trip than I had thought, but was worth it. The falls themselves were very nice (tiered with lots of different levels). The guides that were there to help you into the water and take pictures were very non-intrusive and did not bother you at all, but were there if... More

I visited YS Falls with my 3-year-old daughter and my mom and the three of us had a fantastic time. This is a wonderful day trip for people of all ages. We did the tour through Budget Tours Jamaica. The falls are beautiful and extremely refreshing. Yes, the water is cold, but it's not too cold. As other reviewers have... More

I had the time of my life here. A natural wonder. I was raised in Jamaica as a child but had never heard of this place. When I returned as an ex-pat a few years ago we stumbled upon this gem. It's in a class by itself. Sure Dunn's River Falls is on everyone's To-Do list but this place is... More

YS falls my be one of the most beautiful places on earth. This is truly paradise. Took a private tour from Mo-Bay with Reggae Tours. I have to admit that the ride to the Falls is pretty scary. Not because of our driver but because of the winding mountain road we took to get there. It is very narrow with... More

We decided to take an excursion off the resort and go zip lining through the canopy at YS Falls. I'm so glad we did it! The zip lining was great and then we played in the waterfalls during a tropical thunderstom. Overall, it was exilerating and worth the $70. Be sure the bring small bills to tip all of the... More

On our recent trip to Jamaica, we really wanted to see YS Falls based on all of the positive reviews here on TA. However, we traveled to YS Falls from Montego Bay as a part of an excursion with JTL (Jamaican Tour Lines, I think) and we didn't have nearly as much time to explore the Falls as I would... More

We went to YS falls with a group of people from the resort we were at. We expected to hike up alongside a waterfall, but that's not at all what we got to do. We put our bags down in a little "pavillion" and followed our guide up wooden stairs to a spot where we could sit right under the... More
