In case somebody wonders - I've been filming footage for this youtube channel for over 5 years and the work isn't over yet. I had an opportunity to visit Black River Safari multiple times and that's why I can now select the footage and present Black River in different weather conditions - sunny, overcast, rainy.. You can also see how the atmosphere of the tour changes depending if there are many tourists on a boat or if there are only a few visitors. 
I'm so thankful to everyone for all your support to this channel!

[@stirtonpttrsn4]

❤️

[@Latinachillz]

Your great very informative and I must say good on you for building this channel it’s definitely good to know things and places I never knew before.

[@shellywilks883]

Jamaica has a lot of hidden gems. But don't stress yourself, on when find them and share it with the world. Everything takes time. And interested people don't look for perfection. We look for great and informative content and we are grateful that you kept it!! 5 years is a long time, but YOu are putting in the time and effort into something is remarkable and hopefully more people will fortunate it👍🤗. So just continue to with the days as they come, and press on😘 .

[@arlenecameron5593]

Irina Although I was born yhere and now reside in the UK.i have only visited the safari once.As a child my mum used to see the crocodiles a lot in yhe swamps of SavLa Mar.I have always been terrified of them as are a lot of fellow Jamaicans. Thre has been the occasional fatalities but as you noted its when they are not respected.I am quite happy interacting with them from a boat.Thanks once again for helping others to see the diversity and beauty of our Island. Remember to keep safe now.

[@viviennedavis-campbell3289]

Irina sorry to flood you with comments but the love and proudness of Jamaica pores from my skin and heart. Let get to my point. You stated in your TV interview on TV J that no one or no information was out there on the Jamaican Cuisine/food. You have fell in love with how delicious it is and THE versatility of our chefs/cooks and general population can take other non-Jamiacan dishes give it a Jamaican twist. I see persons as far as Australia commenting on your videos so the display of our foods would be an awesome video.

[@Ryan-lg1di]

I love everything that you post and talk about.

[@christopherhylton8569]

Irina you are the best. From all Jamaica to you... We love you for what you do for this country.

[@yanikeonpurpose]

Man. She has our little country out here shining bright like a diamond ✨💎 ✨

[@jarhead1382]

As a born jamaican living in America now i have never been to black river and i would never swim in that water i saw when they dive off and i was like theynare crazy. Lol 😁

[@leonnox901]

🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲 Watching from Germany.

[@paulmarriott266]

The Black River Morass is a special and rare place. You won't find many of its kind in the Caribbean. Thanks for highlighting Irie.

[@JAMAICAWITHIRIE]

Absolutely! The only area to match it would be wetlands in Trinidad, BUT these are next to South America, so it's expected to be so diverse there. With Jamaica, though, over 14,000 acres in Black River Morass - just incredible!

[@blessed6252]

Even the Croc's are chilled in Jamaica 😀

[@Junjo11]

Lol true....once in a while there is a devil one who keeps busy.

[@munch709NL]

Blessings Irina. 🙏🏽👊🏽🇨🇦🇯🇲

[@nettybooa1104]

So informative! Things I didn't know. It's so funny the tour guide said "this crocodile plays for the West Indies" 😁 x

[@georgedouglas6268]

Wow 😮 born in Jamaica 50 years ago and didn’t even knew Jamaica had something like this 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀👌👌👌🇯🇲🇯🇲🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@chynachin8872]

Thank you for the knowledge...

[@Junjo11]

Best Narrator

[@eslinemills5375]

Another great video, thank you. On my last visit to jamaica, I went there ( for the first time), It was unbelievably beautiful, calm and serene until a crocodile came up to the boat and a couple of adults freaked out, I think the poor crocodile was more frightened of them.

[@anthonysimpson1115]

Dwl lol 😂 these people are so brave.

[@Michael-mk7nb]

You're a blessing to my Country Irina.

[@claudiamoore2525]

Thank you Irina!! It brings back memories. Love it. I have visited Black River, and HONEY even though I'm Jamaican I was scared as hell!! I sat in one place and didn't move until they take us back where they picked us up. I only remember seeing those Crocodile and didn't take my eyes off the water. NO WAY I'D SWIM IN THERE!!! I still remember the GRIP I gave that pole on the boat. One love❤❤❤🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@JAMAICAWITHIRIE]

Thank you for sharing! 😅 😊

[@shadowflame5953]

I went there when I was younger on a school trip

[@charlie16126]

Well done giving us a full tour of parts of the island many Jamaicans would not even know exists. Brings more appreciation and love for the land too many take for granted. Thank you for sharing your experiences.

[@sisters9510]

All the jamaicans know it exists im from jamaica

[@iamisaidi]

Bring back lots of memories. We got hit with a flash of heavy rain and wind on a family tour. My niece and nephews were having the time of their lives in the heavy downpour. The tour guide was a real pro. We had fun that day.

[@JAMAICAWITHIRIE]

Sounds awesome! Yes, this tour is great in any weather conditions!

[@J.Dixon1876]

This is so informative and I love how well documented it is. Big up my parish St.Elizabeth. One Love Stay IRIE ✨🇯🇲

[@elgranjero2284]

Nice!!! But I absolutely would not go for a swim in the Black River. Better safe than sorry for me. Thanks for the trip and sights along this pristine waterway. One Love.

[@gabirohwedder1688]

I highly recomend a trip to Black River, I have been there so many times with tourist, and yet everytime was a different experience. Big up Big George

[@anthonysimpson1115]

So educational it’s like watching discovery channel. I wish you post something every day

[@JAMAICAWITHIRIE]

oh, thank you! And yes, my goal is to be able to post every day! But for now... it takes between 30 to 40 hours to create each video... and that's just SEO, story writing and editing without the actual filming part. Maybe I'd be able to find journalists with knowledge about Jamaica + sense of humour + being able to meet deadlines 🤔and one day I'll have $$$ to pay them... that's when we can work much faster and produce more content! 🙏

[@anthonysimpson1115]

JAMAICA WITH IRIE I can’t tell you how much I love what you are doing. You make me feel so bad sometimes in a good way 😂 that’s because I haven’t been to Jamaica 🇯🇲 for the last 13 years. Yes I know that’s bad lol.

[@garrygtr1]

Hi. I'm a Jamaican. I went on similar tour about 20 years ago, and most of us jumped off the boat and swam. The locals jump off a bridge close to where we swam for their usually safe swim. It was a memorable experience and I often look back at the pics we took. The more recent times we went on the tour, we weren't given the option to swim. I guess it depends on whose boat you ride.

[@mishkadyer1382]

Yes am there every weekend

[@tanisha2761]

I really love and appreciate your videos on Jamaica. As a Jamaican I never been there but would love to visit there. I don't think I would swim in the river.

[@rumplzzztv682]

You would be the perfect Tour Guide with your knowledge and you have the perfect voice. Once again awesome job.🙌🏾🙌🏾😃

[@ZanyWalt]

I would never dare swim in the water and yes I visited it in 2017 and it was wonderful, got some really nice photos from it. I love watching your channel, as you continue to spread the beautiful aspects of our country and the love for Jamaica in your voice makes it even nicer. Keep up the wonderful work, your channel is exceptional.

Never thought it would be safe to swim in Black River (a river full of crocodiles) 😆 You're quite fearless Irie. Might need to try doing that myself.

[@viviennedavis-campbell3289]

Oh Irina I have been to Black River Safari. I loved the boat tour trip on the river. I did put my feet in the water as well as my hands as directed by the Guide. He had me go stand in the huge tall roots of the Mangroves as well.. My final year Thesis was on Urban Development Impact on Wetland Mangroves and did a case study.. I had an environmental Lecturer who had us visited most of the wetlands in Jamaica. I have been back to some after college and University. This bring back good memories. I enjoy what you do with these videos Vlogs Irina. Thanks Irina .. I just love seeing my country and how you do justice in show casing the wealth of the natural treasures that make up Jamaica. As they say in Jamaica 'Walk Good ' Irina you and your family. Blessings.

[@JAMAICAWITHIRIE]

Thank you so much, Vivienne, for sharing this wonderful feedback! Yes, we should all learn more about the environment and impact humans have on it and how we can preserve the natural treasure we have on this planet. Jamaica is certainly blessed with so much beauty and it's a huge pleasure to have an opportunity with this platform to speak about it! Thank you so much for the support! 🙏👍

@@JAMAICAWITHIRIE Yes Laughing Waters in Ocho Rios. It was kind of private when I went .. I am trying to remember but it was near 15 years ago.. but it was beautiful.. Is there another one?

[@JAMAICAWITHIRIE]

@@viviennedavis-campbell3289 I'm not sure if there are other ones :) you never know with names in Jamaica, so it's better to confirm! For example, people confuse Blue Hole in Negril with Irie Blue Hole in Ocho Rios with Blue Lagoon in Portland and Luminous Lagoon in Falmouth 😂. Often people think all of it the same place, but they are different places. And sometimes the same place would have several names, for example: Konoko Falls = Coyaba Falls - they are the same thing (they were renamed from Coyaba to Konoko), OR check this out: Irie Blue Hole = Island Gully Falls = Secret Falls (three names for the same place 😅). That's why I always ask!!!! :)
