Appleton Rum tasting, YS Falls and Pelican Bar tour

4.2/5
194 reviews

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.

    The coach was 30 minutes late. The coach was packed, seating was poor, seat beats were not working, therefore a safety hazard. There were 19 adults on the coach. We had very little leg room. The Appleton tour guide was superb very knowledgeable. We were given a midmorning snack of a patty. Our tour guide mixed up the order .This mistake was Potentially dangerous,. The dinning experience was poor flies everywhere. The food was poor quality. This trip was not value for money. I feel cheated.

    - Time at Appleton Rum was too short in the shop to purchase goods. - Food selection was very poor, especially as vegetarian. - it is sold as an 8hour day, but in reality is 13 hours for 3 activities, there all crammed in. - Most of the 13 hours are spent on travel, as you get, 1.5 hrs Appleton rum, 1 hr YS falls, 45 mins in pelican bar. Excursion 3hrs 15 mins remainder travel. - vehicle provided for travel very uncomfortable, no leg room etc in the sheer heat for the cost per person.

    The stops were amazing the journey from Negril was long. On the way in the morning a stop at a Jamaican Pati shop for breakfast was fab too. Be prepared for a full 7.30am-7.30pm experience but so worth it the rum tasting and the waterfalls awesome. Finishing off at the Pelican Bar. Top day!

    Appleton rum and ys falls were very good experiences. Pelican bar was a bit of a let down. Idea was good but execution poor. Nice to have a short boat trip but from a dump of a beach to a ramshackle bar in the middle of a bay?!! No more to say.
