CLIENT REVIEW: "It's certainly a great tour for anyone who wants to see different aspects of Jamaica in a short amount of time. Wonderful blend of travelers from different countries and with travel experiences. Tish was a phenomenal guide and I couldn't imagine a better person taking us around the island. She is a wealth of information and truly loves sharing her home with new friends 🙂. All the best for the tour company, and I certainly hope to return again and explore even more of JA!"

Today you have the option to experience Jamaica Discovery’s most fantastic optional activity – Dolphin Quest, Black River Safari and Pelican Bar – this is a boat ride to search for dolphins and crocodiles in their natural environment. Boat launches from the shores of Treasure Beach and if we are lucky we will see the Treasure Beach Dolphins on their morning swim. We journey to where the Caribbean Sea meets the Black River and cruise upstream to see the Jamaican crocodile and birds native to the Black River and the Great Morass. You will experience how the locals use the river for their livelihood – fishing and shrimping. Once upstream we stop at the Jamaica Discovery spot where you can have a swim in the rejuvenating waters of the Black River. Leaving Black River our next destination is Pelican Bar. PELICAN BAR: picture a mass of driftwood constructed to create a basic structure, covered by a palm leaf thatch roof and supported by stilts, sitting on a sandbar in the middle of the Sea.
