Taking a break at Black River

Kevin Cummins/Apa Publications

The Black River, at 71km (44 miles), is the longest in Jamaica; it was an arterial route used to transport rum and lumber from the inland plantations. It still provides a living for many families, either from fishing or from the harvesting of bullrushes for basket making. Tours on the river and into the Great Morass start from Black River town. The route takes you into the Mangrove Alley, said to be the quietest place in Jamaica, where you can search out the basking reptiles and native birds that call this place home. Roots, which look like cathedral organ pipes, drop from the higher trees. Your guide will turn off the engine and an eerie silence will envelop the boat. Choose a tour company according to your interests; some guides concentrate on seeing crocodiles while others give a more rounded wildlife tour.
