Enjoyable experience… Captain for the boat tour was very informative and explained everything to us thoroughly and also had refreshments for us to drink. I would recommend this for anybody that’s in the Negril….

We had a great time on this boat cruise.. The two gentlemen that took us up the river were very friendly and knowledgeable about the river and its surrounding areas. Great time and would definitely recommend for a nice chill boat ride.

Mangrove and Egret Sanctuary
A chance to see egrets up close and the nature of the river. Fantastic people. Very interesting tour if you like nature. They provide drinks if you need them which was good. Saw herons, pelicans and different types of egrets on this tour.
We were picked up by boat on the beach at Negril Beach Club and went down the coast and up the river. It was fun and relaxed. Our captain and tour guides (Diby, Daboy) were playful and knowledgable about the flora, fauna, and history.
If you like peace, quiet, birds, nature and history, this is for you. Relaxing tour up the river, they were friendly, informative, prompt. Would certainly recommend, we didn't meet another tourist which was lovely.
We had a lovely & relaxing boat ride up the river. Our guides were fun, funny and knowledgeable. It was nice to learn more about the history & nature of Negril. Highly recommend!
It is a very mellow experience that is enjoyable and exactly what I was looking for. The drive to the boat, I learned alot about the culture and history of the area.
A lovely, lazy trip up the Negril river. Lots of bird life, especially egrets and pelicans. You get a sense of how people live, our guides used the opportunity to gather fish from their traps for their evening dinner.
The team were fantastic. Picked us up, the family had a great time, provided us with great education and then they dropped us back. Customer service 10/10.
Entertaining gentle cruise, very peaceful and cool. Take time out it is only 2 hours and worth while. Interesting to see Egrets nesting and their little chicks
we enjoyed our tour with captain owen, who was kind! going into the negril river, we got to see a wide variety of fauna and flora. enjoyed the glass bottom as well, as we got to see fish and starfish in the beach area, prior to entering the river.
Well! Cpt jace, what a guy. We were collected by his boat cpt & skipper. Two amazing hilarious guys. Just amazing, I really cannot tell you how good this was, but the reviews don’t lie. The river was perfect, the boat was stacked of drinks and just bliss, an absolutely perfect day with a perfect team. Thank you so much from us all, see you in 2025!!! Tom and Michelle & Billy
We booked the Negril River nature tour, and were pleased to learn that it included a reef snorkelling visit as well. Mayny thanks to our crew, Skipper and Tippy, who made to experience wonderful. They were knowledgeable about the flora and fauna along the river, as well as the historical significance of the river. We saw many large birds, including nesting egrets, herons, pelicans, ducks, and vultures. Once out to the reef, Tippy led a guided snorkelling dive where many tropical fish were spotted, as well as sea turtles, conchs, and a huge stingray! The tour was longer than promised, giving us more time to enjoy the beautiful scenery. A nice bonus. Highly recommended!
Wife and I took this tour the day before we had to leave. It was a very relaxing tour. Seen a lot of the natural wildlife, mostly all the birds. This was our second tour with Captain Jace and like the first one, everyone was very helpful the whole trip.
