Nenhuma costa sul Jamaica o desengate está completo sem pelo menos dirigir através do rio preto e nesta ocasião nós decidimo-nos parar e fazer exame de um desengate com J. Charles Swaby em seu Safari preto do rio e o Riverboat cruzam. Era um dia excepcionalmente quente e o sol brilhava tão brilhante como sempre assim nós nos decidimos que um passeio no barco era uma maneira grande gastar o dia. Nós ajustamo-nos para fora para o rio preto da praia do tesouro e chegamo-nos na tarde adiantada quando a maioria dos povos de cidades do rio preto nós deverem fora lunch ou o que quer que fazem no calor do sol do meio-dia.
Isto Jamaica a atração era rather lenta neste dia e nós podíamos começar reservations em sair muito seguinte do barco. Nós nós estamos contentes de fazer assim porque se sentar ao redor no sol e esperar sugavam a vida fora de mim rapidamente. Estava realmente quente este dia e eu era esperançoso que as nuvens fundiriam excedente e nós pudemos terminar acima com um dia nublado porque o sol estava chamejando. Enquanto era eu estava na sorte e as nuvens vieram sobre nós imediatamente depois do lunch e refrigeraram o dia fora para nós todos. Com toda a máscara era ainda um passeio ensolarado quente do barco em torno de uma área muito bonita do rio e dos wetlands.
Eu realmente amo a beleza natural de Jamaica e enegreça o rio é um dos destaques de toda a natureza ou excursão do eco do país. The Black River is home to some of the rarest and most unique of all Jamaican wildlife and there are all sorts of animals to see on this tour. The most popular of all wildlife on the Black River tour is the Jamaican Crocodile. There are no alligators in Jamaica and the only crocodile species is the American Crocodile found all over North America. The Jamaican crocs hang out in the brackish waters of South Coast rivers and Black River is a hot spot for croc activity. You can also find manatees in the river but we did not encounter any on this trip.
The Black River is also a birdwatchers dream with dozens of birds to be seen on any given day. I’ve become much more of a birdwatcher since our return and I was glad to be able to get some pictures of birds in Jamaica on this trip. The birds here in Jamaica scare easily but the ones on the Black River tour seem to be used to the boats and noise and they allowed us to approach them rather close. It was really cool to see the Egrets hanging out with the Crocodile in the shots above. I don’t think I could have asked for a better shot from them.
The Black River Safari runs about 1 1/2 hours and costs $15 per adult and half price for children. Resident pricing is available if you present a Jamaican ID or TRN card. I suggest you bring a lunch with you as there are limited choices in the area for dining and it is a bit out of the way. Travel time from Negril is just over one hour with good traffic conditions. There is no swimming area on the Black River and lots of folks head on to YS Falls and Bamboo avenue after spending a half day on the River.
