If you could go on only ONE excursion...

[Clarity]

THANK YOU so much everyone for your helpful advice and suggestions!

Luminous Lagoon - Rockland's Bird Sanctuary : I love it! Those I want to save for our next trip.. Markus is in love with Nature, and the idea of feeding a hummingbird would be a dream come true for both of us.

but Jamar….not so much.

We’ll save those two for our wedding anniversary.

Now it’s been narrowed down to 3 choices for us:

Mayfield falls
YS Falls/Pelican Bar combo
Blue Hole Mineral Springs

I’ve never swam inside a real waterfall before. I’ve always wanted to, but it kind of seemed like a fantasy scenario that only happens in movies. Jamar has always wanted to experience it too. Markus has, but it was back when he was a little kid. We came to the conclusion that this is what we all really want to see.

Everyone seems to be rooting for Mayfield Falls, that was my first choice too and it’s closer to Negril, which is a major bonus… It looks so beautiful!

On the other hand.. I also really want to see the Pelican Bar (I’m captivated by the pictures I’ve seen, I just can’t believe something built like that exists out in the ocean.. It looks like it should fall over.. I heard you can snorkel there too. ) and if YS falls is close enough that we could do BOTH… see waterfalls and go to the Pelican bar.

But I’m getting the impression YS falls is not as amazing as Mayfield Falls… and that Pelican Bar might not be worth such a long ride unless I stay overnight at a hotel closeby. So maybe I should save this for another trip.
(Although I don’t know when that will be for sure…)

Could anyone tell me more about Blue Hole Mineral Springs? I just saw a photo that captured my attention. It looked really mystical and scary.. a man falling into a deep blue hole with light shining overhead. What is this place?

Negrilaholic - I wish we could join up for a side trip but you wont be in Jamaica yet. We’re planning it for Day 3 and You’re flying in on the day before we leave. I really hope we get to meet you though! What time are you arriving in Negril?
