Sign at YS Falls in Jamaica with Park Rules.
I thought this sign at YS Falls was amusing - If you look at the last rule on the list it says: "No ganja smoking" - So be sure and leave your ganja at home if you visit these falls!

Tree-Top Tour at YS Falls
Directly below is a picture of a member of my tour embarking on the Tree-Top Tour at YS Falls.

"Tour" is a funny term for it since you are zipping down through the jungle at a pretty good clip - and the last thing on your mind is taking in the sights! Worth it!

One of the restaurants at Sandals Negril - This is one of the nicest beaches in Jamaica - I was told - and has great scuba diving and snorkeling. In fact Sandals Negril which is located on the best stretch of Negril's 7-mile beach, is where one goes in the Sandals world if one is an avid diver!

A Natural Spring Fed Pool at YS Falls in Jamaica.
This is a picture of a natural swimming pool at the YS Falls park - It is absolutely gorgeous! If you stay at the Sandals Whitehouse which is located nearby, a trip to YS Falls is offered - be sure and take it! The park is teeming with wildlife and natural beauty. Take the tree-top tour once you are there! You can also go tubing down the river - which is very refreshing given the tropical climate of Jamaica!

 

Large White Bird Sitting on Fence Near YS Falls in Jamaica.
This fellow was actually part of a large flock, but the photo was to big to show them all, so I chopped him out. This is a cattle egret1 and they are all over and are really pretty!

Below: The Jamaican National Bird the 'Doctor Bird' or Swallowtail Humming Bird. This humming bird is found only in Jamaica and is really quite fancy! I was lucky enough to get a photo of him while he was having a snack at the feeder!

1 Thank you to Angus Wilson for identifying it for me. Come to think about it, I should have known that because I did see them perched atop a cow or two!
