Private YS Falls Tour from Negril — Waterfalls, Zipline & Natural Pools

The Experience
Before You Go
Bring water shoes
Pools and rocky paths can be slippery—rubber-soled water shoes improve grip when swimming and hiking between tiers.
Use reef-safe sunscreen
The pools are natural—choose biodegradable sunscreen to protect freshwater ecosystems and avoid oily residues on rocks.
Book around closed days
YS Falls is closed on Mondays; schedule your tour for another day to avoid disappointment.
Protect valuables
Bring a small dry bag or lockable case—there are basic changing facilities but limited secure storage on-site.
