Thanks.
We booked the tour through Jamaica Tours (which was recommended by our TA). I have nothing to compare them to in terms of the other tour groups on the island. But, we liked them. They gave you a lot of information about the island, the people, customs, etc while you were going from place to place. And, answered a lot of questions. The tour was a full day. They picked us up at the hotel at 8:30ish and dropped us off at the hotel at 5:30ish. I cannot find the receipt with the details, but we paid $366 for the two of us to do the two tours (we also did the Cryoden Plantantion tour) . So, I am guessing this one might have been around $100 to $120 per person.

The Black River Safari was our first stop, and it was a boat ride along the black river. We saw three American Alligators (I think they were alligators, not crocodiles, but I coudl be wrong), which was very cool. I am used to taking these types of tours and seeing nothing. We even got some really great pictures of them. We also saw a lot of different birds. Some they were able to get us really close to. About mid-way through the tour they stopped the boat so we could enjoy the scenery and a rum punch.

After the tour we got a lunch of jerk chicken and rice (included in the cost), which was tastey.

From there we went to YS Falls. The bus drops you off at the base of the plantation on which the falls are locate and you take a jittney type ride to the falls themselves. We had about an hour there to explore on our own. We should have had a longer time but the tour was running late and we had to be at Appleton by a certain time. The falls were beautiful. I spent some time taking photos (I am really into photography), and then went for a swim in the falls. The water was wonderful.

We then went to the Appleton tour.

Of course admission to everything is included in the price - which all three would charge if you go on your own.

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
