Does anyone have thoughts which is better, I only plan to do 1 day trip, so really need feed back, so we choose most popular 1, however, if there is a better day trip, please advise as well.

I really enjoyed the Black River but if I had to choose between the 2 it would definitely be Mayfield Falls!! Love it! I've been 4x :)
Enjoy your day, whatever you end up doing!!
From 1 Canadian to another, Mayfield Falls it is... thank you
just returned from Mayfield falls, fabulous day trip for sure.. Thank you Katho from Ontario.. great recommendation
Glad you enjoyed it!! :)
Mayfield Falls
mi number uno recommendation to travelers for a tour........
inexpensive and a lot of fun and close to Negril.........
Cool Runnings, Marko
How long does it take to drive to Mayfield Falls? How are the roads-- okay for a rental car?
Thanks,
Hett
The Drive was long, like 1.5-2hours, however, we did stop for redstripe as well, the roads were "NOT" the best for sure... But we did enjoy ourselves, and would definitely not only recommend this place, but would do it again for sure.
next time we will also check out Cool Runnings, which is right in Negril, we "love" to always support the Parish we are visiting in Jamaica...

captaind---OMG... I totally agree, "HIRE A DRIVER-- with " RED" plates, for more reasons than 1... It is off the beaten track, and " you" should always have a local with you....!!!!
1.5-2 hours to Mayfield?????? What am i missing I know I don't travel in a rocket when I go. Are you sure you went to Mayfield or was it YS, that is more like 3 but unless Mayfield roads have gotten even way worse than the usual badness I don't understand 1.5-2 hours? You should definetely have a driver to go to Mayfield , one who is a PHD Profesional Pot Hole diverter.
I love both Falls so I am glad you had fun.
Mayfield for sure over Black River, and even if I had a rental car I would not drive it up to Mayfield Falls, Either hire a driver or take a taxi. The roads close to Mayfield are some of the worst i have seen.
I am looking to do one day trip this reach. Mayfield or YS / Black River are high on my list. I am leaning toward YS / Black River mainly because of what I had read about the road to Mayfield and that Mayfield requires a fair amount of hiking.
My wife has a bad back and does not ride well over bumpy roads and she is not much of a hiker either.
Am I wrong in my assesment of Mayfield?
Steve
You're not wrong in your assessment! It's a great deal of hiking. In your case YS/Black River is the best choice!
Yes, you are right.....there is a lot involved in Mayfield, though a great trip
But if anyone has problems walking or with their back, I would definitely recommend YS and Black Safari.
You can be as active or as relaxed as you want to be, and still get the same great experience.
YS does not involve any hiking at all if you dont want it to.
And I love YS, it is beautiful! Absolutely breathtaking....you will be very happy with your choice.
Thanks Katho and marley
I have read quite a few reviews about various outings and thought I had it right. We are still a long way off but reading about other peoples experiences, trying to picture them, and see if it would suit us is all part of the fun.
