点评:This was part of a duo tour with YS Falls through our TUI rep
After a long drive from Montego Bay to here, we disembark the bus and are guided to a table and we are offered a drink and then go up to get our food (the traditional jerk chicken and rice & peas) once rhe boat captain is ready we board the pontoon and he guides us through the journey and some rules.
We set off and the captain take to us about the history of the area and the river. As he is going along he is watching to see where the crocodiles are. I am not going to lie it would be hard to spot with them being able to hide in the edge of the river undergrowth, but as we turn one bend in the river in the distance you can spot something moving and there it is, our 1st crocodile!!
The captain finds a good place and stops the pontoon and comes to a small gate on the side and opens a tube with some raw chicken pieces in it and calls the crocodile over! Watching it swim over it looks sooo calm but as it gets closer you can see how intimidating they are and how they are so stealthy. The captain offers the pieces and the croc snaps it up (the piece is thrown and is not anywhere close to the hand) the captain is well aware of the hazards and is able to feed with ease. We stay there for a good while and then we set off again further up the river, we turn another bend and there is another crocodile. The captain feeds this one also the same as before
Once we have reached a certain point in the river the captain turns us round and we head back. The crocodiles I would say know what they are getting and that is why they are willing to come over to the boats.
To top our trip off on the journey back the captain calmed our daughter (24 years old) up to the wheel and allows her to drive us back. The smile on her face made this trip even more amazing because of that!
A brilliant and experience to see crocodiles in the wild and up close!

从蒙特哥湾长途驱车来到这里后,我们下了车,被引到一张桌子旁,服务员给我们上了饮料,然后我们去取餐(传统的牙买加烤鸡配米饭和豌豆)。船长准备就绪后,我们登上浮桥,他向我们讲解了行程和一些注意事项。
我们出发了,船长向我们介绍了这片区域和河流的历史。他一边航行一边观察着鳄鱼的踪迹。说实话,鳄鱼藏身于河边的灌木丛中,很难发现它们。但是,当我们转过一个河湾时,远处隐约可见有什么东西在动,没错,那就是我们的第一条鳄鱼!
船长找到一个好地方,停下浮桥,来到旁边的小门前,打开一个装有生鸡肉块的管子,把鳄鱼叫了过来!看着它游过来,看起来非常平静,但随着它靠近,你就能看出它们有多么可怕,多么隐蔽。船长把鸡肉块递给鳄鱼,鳄鱼一口吞下(鸡肉块是扔出去的,离船长的手很远)。船长很清楚其中的危险,所以喂食起来毫不费力。我们在那里待了一会儿,然后继续向上游驶去。转过一个弯,又出现了一条鳄鱼。船长用同样的方式喂了它。
到达河的某个地方后,船长调转船头,我们开始返航。我想,鳄鱼们知道自己会得到什么,所以它们才愿意游到船边。
为了让我们的旅程更加完美,返程途中,船长安抚了我们24岁的女儿,让她坐到驾驶座上,开车送我们回去。她脸上的笑容让这次旅行更加精彩!
在野外近距离观赏鳄鱼,真是一次绝妙的体验!
