- Can you image wild nature with a touch of luxury? This would be YS Falls in St. Elizabeth, Jamaica! There are over 100 waterfalls in Jamaica, and with this Jamaica Video Guide episode we
shall visit YS Falls park, which was a well kept secret for many years, until it opened its doors to the visitors in 1992. YS Falls tour is available mainly from Montego Bay, Negril and Treasure Beach.
And yes, this is the place where you can do YS Falls Zipline Canopy Tour over the waterfalls.

Jamaica’s number one tourist encyclopedia....Irena!
Thank you 🤓 😊
@@JAMAICAWITHIRIE You should talk about the government plans to destroy the Porto Bueno mountains for minerals.
Encyclopaedia 💯🤣🤣🤓
Irina - trust mi yu rock! Love your videos lady. Keep them coming
Purrrr💅🏽Jamaica fi life🇯🇲
You need to be Official tourist guide to Jamaica 🇯🇲. Much love to you and your family.
Thank you for the support! 🤗
As a jamaican living in NYC I REALLY AND TRULY ENJOY THE POSITIVE THINGS YOU TALK ABOUT MY JAMAICA. YOU REALLY SHOWS EVERTHING. I LOVE IT.
Irie you're a true jamaican!!! And I love that you are shearing our beautiful and bless country to the world. And your very beautiful woman keep u the good work 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Each time I watch your videos, I am more convinced that I am returning to Jamaica.
Omg!..This All One Would Wish 4 In a Holiday!! 4 Me Anyway!
Wow, only Irena could come up with these important information. Great work. My lady.
Thank you so much! 🙏
It is one of the most beautiful waterfall I've ever seen.
Man miss me Island for the good things like this no lie
Where did you move to?
Thomas Phillip Lecky, known as T.P. Lecky (1904-1994), was a Jamaican scientist who developed several new breeds of cattle. Lecky is known as one of Jamaica's earliest environmentalists, and a strong advocate for the conservation of hillsides.[1] His research in cattle breeding led to the development of three breeds suited the tropical climate: Jamaica Hope, Jamaica Red, and Jamaica Black. Jamaica Hope was the first breed of cattle indigenous to Jamaica. He is remembered as the Father of the Jamaican Dairy Industry.[1]
The divirsity of nature is one of the reasons the world will continue to visit this beautiful island country. For me waterfalls are particularly beautiful. The research, hard work and love you put into your videos is something to be proud of!
@Faith M it's fair to say these are professional.
Thank you, I'm trying my best, I wish I had more resources and time, but working on it! 🤗
@Faith M yes, I understand what you mean. I agree.
I live 10 minutes from YS falls. It can be the most tranquil of places when its not crowded. The horses are beautiful too. Thanks again for your work Irina
Hi generally speaking. When is the best day/month to visit? I dont like the crowd thing
@@Lucky_ness Hey! The best time to visit Jamaica is in autumn or spring since u don't like crowd,The resorts are always crowded when it's winter and summer and we get a lot of tourists at that time of the year. So yea the best time is spring or autumn.. Good luck:)❤🇯🇲
@@Lifestylewithjada , this is good to know. As a Jamaican (from St. Ann) living in the States for 38+ years, I have been back home quite often. But I usually come in the Summer. Over the past 10 years or so, I noticed that it is "busier" and "more expensive" coming down in the Summer. I was surprised by that as I expect that would be the least busy and least expensive time to visit. Probably won't change for me though, as my two long breaks from work (where I don't have to use up extra vacation days) are in the Summer and in the Winter...go figure...LOL
Yes indeed. Irie, I get it too. We need to stop chasing the wind ....
A dats why wen rain a faal sum plp nuh fi kuss.> that is why when a lot of rain is falling in jamaica people should not complain about it because that's what gives jamaica it's beauty
True! Rain is indeed life, but like with anything - too much of a good thing can be bad for us ^^
When it rains it pours. Too much rebuilding now.
Thanks again, very lovely place! Also for the history lessons. Much appreciated.
YS falls is beautiful and the swimming pool as well.
YS has always been my favorite Falls!!
Nice one.uk
Irena
Your video as usual is spectacular.
My dad was from St Elizabeth but I have never heard of YS fall. Thanks for telling us. You must have put in. a lot of time in doing these videos. Most Jamaicans appreciate the effort.
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoy the videos and I really appreciate all the support! 🙏
Beautiful 😍❤️ us falls watching fr mandeville
Liked it before I watched it!
There are many other attractions in the surrounding area. You can buy pepper shrimps at middle quarters nearby. Black river safari is close by. Maroon town and appleton rum tours 10 minutes drive. There are beautiful rain forests in the mountain communities of Beth Salem,Aberdeen, Bagdale mountain and other neighboring communities. There are even a few blue holes and caves leading to Trelawney. I believe its time for these communities to be included in what tourist experience in Jamaican. I live in a community where the majority are Scottish descendants. There is so much history and culture in rural Jamaica.
Yes, absolutely! I love the area! Do you know about the origins of YS name? Some say it comes from gaelic "wyess" meaning winding, but when trying to check this info - couldn't find any word with such meaning in Scottish gaelic, nor in Irish. There is also a theory, that YS comes from the last names of John Yates and Richard Scott, but they were never the owners of the place, so it makes no sense. Maybe as a person living in the area - you've heard of some other theories that have proof of the origins of the name by any chance?
@@JAMAICAWITHIRIE I would have to ask my uncle and get back to you.
@@JAMAICAWITHIRIE Irina, contact Mr Browning, the owner. He will be able to give you some history. His office is full to the brim with historic files/papers.
When I tell other islanders that Jamaica is a wealth of attractions and activities compared to other destinations...they get mad at me 😂. OH WELL...the truth hurts 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Wow, that’s breathtaking
The grounds and employees are excellent. Another wonder of the country. Thanks
One of my favorite places in Jamaica👌💕
Omg it’s gorgeous there.... ty for sharing
Thank you for another lovely video!
Thanks Irie you are doing a great job on Jamaica..
Girl mi a Jamaican and I don’t know these places I guess I was broke when I live there to visit lol✅✅✅✅💕💕💕
Wow! That’s beautiful!
Blessing irie 🙏🏿🙏🏿 , avery important vlob , many ppl didn't know like myself and thks again 👌🏿🇬🇧
Bless up Irena
Irie nice waterfall beautiful
Jamaica
I enjoy the journey more than the falls. All the small town and little markets.
I’ve visited YS Falls and this is a true representation. Very relaxing and fun for all ages.
Thanks for another great informational piece about Jamaica
Love and Blessing Irie!
Irena I never visited YS Falls. It's sad that many Jamaicans don't get to do these things. Thanks for doing this video. The next time I go to Jamaica I will visit YS falls. Keep up the amazing work that you are doing. Big Up!!
The country I was born in and live for 28 years, but never know about these places. You sure take my breath away with every video you post. Thank you Irene. Great video AGAIN.👌😁
Is it just me alone who like that tune at the end of each video.
Thank you! 🥰
Born and raised in Kingston Jamaica so you can imagine not knowing about attractions in the west and south. I always visit attractions when I return to enjoy my beautiful home 🇯🇲🇯🇲
I came to this video because YS falls is my next stop for my December trip. This channel is appreciated. ONE LOVE ❤❤❤
Great Video on YS Falls! Very interesting the history behind it, Love this place, it's one of Jamaica's Treasures.
Good day Irie, enjoying another of your vlog. YS is beautiful
I thoroughly enjoyed this vlog thanks for all of the history of YS falls❤️
Beautiful 🇯🇲
Refreshing!
Умница!(You warm my heart!!!)))
всегда welcome! :)
Wow so beautiful
Hi Irina, another beautiful video 🙏🏾❤️
Thank you for the positive information on and about Jamaica! There are loads of cave there!
It would be nice if you do a vlog the caves there.
Thank you👌👍👍
Thank you, yes, the cave video is coming up soon! 😊
My mom is from St Elizabeth about 10-15 minutes from YS Falls. ...were there in Feb 2020. Each time I visit YS Falls, the experience gets better and better. 😊 Loves it!! 🤗🤗🤗👍🏾👍🏾
I always heard about it but I never knew it was that beautiful
been there only once and absolutly fell in love with this place ,compared to Dunns River this is my first choice of the two. its a must experience once visiting jamaica!!
So true. No more Dunns River for me. It has lost its luster. YS Falls is so much more picturesque compared to Dunns River ❤❤
Why have I never heard of this place before? Thank you so much for bringing this to our attention! Absolutely amazing!
Irie - Thanks for sharing you're an awesome Jamaican ambassador. Mean things are showcasing beautiful Jamaica ONE ❤️🇯🇲👌🇨🇦
One of the few things I miss about living and working in St Elizabeth and working at Appleton Estate. I loved visiting YS Falls. Front Desk staff are the best!
Thomas Phillip Lecky, Ph.D., O. B. E, O. M. (1904 - 1994)
Dr. Thomas Phillip (T.P.) Lecky, a pioneer Jamaican Scientist, was born on December 31, 1904. He was the twelfth of thirteen children and grew up in Swift River, Portland. Lecky was introduced to agriculture at an early age, as his father was a farmer and as a young man, he took an interest in livestock.
Miss my born land...
Absolutely beautiful day trip from anyplace on the island. Second only to my beloved Dunn’s River Fall in my hometown. Thanks again Irene. Keep up the good work.
I look forward to watching Your blog as they sell Jamaica... some other blogs are one dimensional- personal which doesn’t show of JA s such. Thank you
Selling Jamaica? Interesting subject indeed. I have different blogs on this channel to cover all aspects of Jamaica to present it in the most objective way possible. The one-dimensional-personal blogs are important to foreigners who wish to relocate to Jamaica and wonder what it's like for a foreigner to live there and surprisingly - these they are the ones that attract most views... CZcams works in a weird way, but not much we can do about it.
@@JAMAICAWITHIRIE My comment is 3-months after the others on this. I noticed "MeSandz" didn't respond, but I "interpreted" his / her Statement NOT as you "trying" to "sell" Jamaica from an non objective way...but that you are doing such an AMAZING job with the "VLOGS" (I don't understand "blog" in the comments above), they are just "selling Jamaica" all on their own...
I have watched ALL of your VLOGS since I "discovered" you in early JANUARY, and I can tell you, without you trying to do so, you are "selling Jamaica"...but in a POSITIVE light (even when you talk about the not so positive things...they are positive)....and THAT "Mi Dear" (as Jamaicans would say) is a VERY VERY GOOD THING
I'm from the other Rock....Newfoundland. We have a long history with Jamaica - sugar, rum, molasses, salt fish trade, etc. etc. People here eat salt fish with a hard bread cake while in Jamaica saltfish is eaten with ackee. In both cases it's a signature dish. Although we are miles and miles apart we have many other similarities. People here sometimes drop the 'h' at the beginning of a word and add one when the word begins with a vowel. This is very common here in the fishing outports scattering our coastline. Folks here have a great sense of humour as do Jamaicans. We both are colloquially called the 'Rock". And we love to drink Rum. I have been there over 200 times and can attest to Jamaica's beauty and lovely people.
Thanks so much for sharing! Appreciated!
Wow! Over 200 times? 😀
Jan, Love this.
You now alot about our culture thats nice man
Hi.Irie The Video is Beautiful scenery of water falls to spending Quality times.I remember the good old days when I use to follow my family to the river in Clifton Lodge in St.Ann.I use wash clothes with scrubbing board,Set coconut bait's into the water to catch Shrimps or Lobster.Take Bath's, I would go on top of the rock and jump off into the Water try not to get Muscle cramps into my legs into the water.I would carry bucket of water on my head home for cooking and bathing purposes,To throw into a big barrel, Kingston is the Capital of Jamaica. In Kingston they are certain Places that are violence,Inspite of Circumstances Jamaica is Blessed island, Jamaica is an Island surrounding by the Caribbean Sea.Jamaica Jamaica Land we Love.Is everything cook and Curry a Jamaica say.Many thanks for sharing a Beautiful Funful Video of Jamaica a Land of Paradise

Irina, once again I enjoyed this video. I visit YS quite a bit as it is one is my favorite places on the planet. And again I personally really like that you not only show these places for what they are now but also include the history of the place.
Can you be my history teacher i mean me too old but still. History lesson was fire
Thank you! As you can tell, I'm indeed passionate about history - there is so much we can learn from it if dig deep enough to get the truth.
1:25 - 1:35 Shot is excellent. Love how the guy walks out on the top of one of the falls.
Wow! Jamacia Looks Amazing!..Very Similar The Far North Qld! Beautiful!

You are amazing Irene , am a born Jamaican and have never seen these beautiful places..God bless you ❤👏👏
Great video, thanks for taking the time to give us the history about the place.
It is so beautiful there but, compared to when I visited years ago, they added the pool, zip line, etc. so looks more touristy. Still beautiful though.
Wow!! I am so cheered up despite our lock down
You are ture blessing to Jamaica keep up the amazing work.
Good morning
Spectacular. Adding this to my list of “To see on next trip”.😁
Thanks, Irina👍🏽🇯🇲💜
