i was in treasure beach over the easter holiday and went out with captain myrie! great captain and very knowledgeable of the area! if you have the time, make sure he takes you all the way up the black river (past where the tourist boats can go/they can't fit under the bridge) to Rudy's bar! Have a swim up by Rudy's and use the rope swing if you are brave.
Ive been going for close to 30 years and since this tour started i have never been let down! Great job!
A great day that took us from Saint Elizabeth along the coast to and up the Black River, where we enjoyed a cooling time, before ending the day at Pelican Bar - magical! Captain Myrie is a natural, relaxed & charming host and informative guide.
A fabulous holiday in Treasure Beach, Jamaica with trips catered for by Buttonwood Tours and their Captain Myrie. A magical experience whether it was a trip up the Black River to see the crocs, out to Pelican reef for lobster at Floyd's Bar in the middle of the sea, or just finding lovely tranquil beaches on which to chill out and swim. The hospitality of Captain Myrie and his crew was second to none. These are opportunities which you must not miss - a grand time was had by us all.
Capt. Myrie did a fantastic job showing us around on the tour...your have not seen Jamaica until you do a Buttonwood Private Tour. We brought the kids on one and then went back for some just adult time. Dolphins, Drinks, Sunsets - Cheers! The Best!
I'll never forget the first time I went on a Buttonwood Jamaica tour! Captain Myrie and crew were very welcoming. Every second spent there was worthwhile. I had a blast. I especially enjoyed playing with the dolphins, and oh, learning a thing or two about Black River Safari's world-famous "Charlie". Pelican BarWho knew that one could enjoy drinks in the middle of the ocean? Well as daunting as it looked at first, The Pelican Bar was something to talk about; the view from there was just -- breathtaking! The Buttonwood Jamaica tour is definitely one I will do again soon. Kudos to Captain Myrie and crew!
Treasure beach is one of my favourite spots in Jamaica: beautiful, laid-back, and off the beaten track, and Sandre's tours fall right in line with all that! We went as a family, including two kids under the age of 5, and we all enjoyed it thoroughly: boat tour along the coast and up black river to see the crocs, birds and mangroves; rest stop by the bridge where we ate crab; then headed back down to pelican bar for a swim in the crystal clear waters followed by a beer. Sandre and his crew are very knowledgeable about the area and point out interesting things along the way. The kids still remember the trip!
We enjoyed a fantastic day with Buttonwood. We visited both the brackish and freshwater portions of the Black River, and topped the afternoon off with a visit to the surreal and beautiful Pelican Bar. The Black River is enchanting, beginning as a salt water estuary, with plenty of crocodiles and water birds visible. The mangroves were also quite atmospheric. Once we traveled further inland--in a sturdy and powerful boat, I might add--we watched the vegetation transition to freshwater. Once we were safely into the freshwater zone, we even enjoyed a swim at a delightful cul-de-sac.The guides were exceedingly knowledgeable and very friendly. We were traveling with young children, and the guides were perfect. Food and drink at the Pelican Bar were first rate as well!
I am a regular visitor to Buttonwood and Treasure Beach and the beach, vibes and people are fantastic. Sandre is a great friend and the service and equipment he provides is excellent. Boogie boarding is my favourite as the waves there are most suited to good runs onto the beach. Highly recommended.
This is a must-do when visiting Treasure Beach, without a doubt. Captain Myrie was a capable and good-spirited guide as he cruised us out to Pelican Bar where we swam, had some beers and ate fish straight from the boat to the kitchen to our plates. Then, on the way back in, we cruised along the Jamaican coast; it was great to see it from the water. What an incredible experience from start to finish. I can’t wait to get back and do it again.
