I'm looking to book a day tour and especially want to include Mayfield Falls. Some of the other choices I have are: YS Falls, Appleton Estates, Black River, Lover's Leap, Treasure Beach, and Benji's Paradise. I'm not finding much information about these attractions and wondered if you guys could give me your opinions? Or, do you think it would be enough to just spend most of a day at Mayfield? My hubby and I are looking to privately renew our wedding vows during this trip as well.
Thanks!!
I have been on three excursions with Talk of the Town Tours, and loved every one. I know they go to all the place mentioned, and love the service...very personalized.
Here's an option based out of the South Coast.

Edit: The last I knew (feb '11) Lover's Leap main tourist point it closed. You can still go up there and walk around and get the views, you just can't go to the "official" look out point or the restaurant.
I've never been to Mayfield so I don't know if that would take up a whole day. I would personally suggest YS Falls, Appleton Rum Tour, and Black River boat ride. If time allows you could take to the boat out to Pelican Bar and while driving you can go through Bamboo Alley.
Are you planning on renewing your vows at one of these locations?

If I were staying in Treasure Beach, then I might consider a South Coast Tour Operator but staying in Negril? It would be an "arm and a leg" to have someone drive up from there; take you back there and then bring you back to Negril!Originally Posted by jeannieb
I think Talk of the Town Tours is a good alternative and a great company as well.
Jamaica abounds with Red Plate, licensed taxis with drivers and/or owners who would love to take you on a trip for more money than they could make in a day beating their vehicle to death on a Route Run. I know everyone wants to have something "nailed down" before they get to Jamaica but this is a country that runs on bargaining. You could get a good price by just asking around once you get there (as an option).

Lovers leap is still closed as of today. Sounds like this one may be done until a new owner takes over.
Black river to see the crocs and on to YS falls is one of my favs

My suggestion is to go to the likkle store across the road from the closed restaurant and ask if you can cross through the vegetable farm to a secluded spot on the cliff. I have done this a few times and my friends enjoyed the natural view even more than the view from the restaurant anyways.

Thanks, all, for the tips! I intended to use Alfred's (posted on a thread here) for our driver. He is going to pick us up from the airport, so I thought about using him to also take us to Mayfield, which is where we really want to go. I love waterfalls, so may include YS falls as well. We intended to just find a place that felt right to do our vow renewal....very informally.
Love Alfred, great choice
you have to go to the PELICAN BAR near black river, soon come
