I recently visited Jamaica for a short holiday. And during my short trip I visited and enjoyed the YS Falls including its zipline canopy adventure.
This was my first trip outside of Canada since the pandemic, so I wanted to take it easy and made only a three-plus day trip to an all-inclusive resort in Montego Bay.
I started the day by an exciting visit to Plaza Premium’s new lounge in Pearson Airport’s Terminal three. Check for my post and video.
The YS Falls
While in Jamaica I undertook just two trips - one to the famous Luminous Lagoon and then a longer tour to the YS Falls.
Jamaica has a number of cascading waterfalls and the Dunn’s Falls appears to be the most popular one. However, I chose the YS Falls as it seemed to be less crowded. And I was also thinking about doing the zipline tour.
The Falls is in St. Elizabeth Parish in the southwestern part of Jamaica and is just over 50 kilometers from Montego Bay. It has seven waterfalls and some pools. While some of the falls are safer to swim others are not.
It was opened to the public in 1992.
Two-Hour Drive
We drove through the Montego Bay centre and its suburbs, with its shopping centers and small boutiques selling everything from fruits to clothing and footwear.
There were few eateries as well and then we reached the countryside. Lush, verdant countryside with papaya, bamboo and other plantations, breadfruit trees and more.
And, after about two hours of driving we finally reached the Falls.
