Appleton Rum tasting, YS Falls and Pelican Bar tour

A tantalising blend of rum, waterfalls and floating bars awaits on this action-packed trip. Showcasing the island's cultural heritage and natural beauty, this excursion has 100% Jamaica stamped all over it. As one of our expert local guides, Floyd says, ‘Experiencing Jamaica through rum tasting, wild swimming at a waterfall and an iconic bar gives you a great perspective on the many attractions of Jamaica. It's like stepping into a living postcard.' Begin your day with a fascinating tour of the Appleton Estate rum factory, renowned for producing some of the finest rums in Jamaica. Floyd enthuses, ‘Discover the distillation process, juice your own sugar cane and savour the honey-coloured rum – it's a truly immersive experience.' Next, you'll be whisked away to the cascading waters of the YS Falls where you can cool off in the refreshing waterfall pools. After lunch, it's time to hop on a boat and glide out to the Pelican Bar. With luck, you might spot dolphins en route. The Pelican Bar is a ramshackle hut on stilts which has to be seen to be believed. Standing on glittering waters, it's probably the coolest bar in the world. Be sure to carve your name into the wood as a memento of your visit. After a swim in the natural pools surrounding the bar, round off your day by raising a glass to Jamaica's intoxicating charm.

Plan your visit in Montego Bay

Thanks to its tropical climate, Montego Bay is an ideal holiday spot year-round. For the best weather, plan your visit between December and March when temperatures are warm and rainfall is minimal. Even during the rainier months of September and October, temperatures stay pleasant and showers are typically short-lived, lasting only a few hours.

To maximise your trip to Montego Bay, it's best to stay for at least a week or ten days. This allows you to not only unwind on the idyllic beaches but also to explore the country. Montego Bay serves as an excellent hub for excursions to Jamaica's iconic spots like Dunn's River Falls or the Luminous Lagoon.
