Appleton Rum tasting, YS Falls and Pelican Bar tour
Excursions & day trips

Montego Bay - 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.

What to do in Jamaica

Walk among the fragrant coffee plants in the Blue Mountains, feel the energy of the local markets and taste the spicy and authentic jerk chicken. From relaxation to cultural immersion, below you'll find the top six activities you shouldn't miss!

Top six things to do in Jamaica

1. Explore vibrant Montego Bay

Montego Bay is the tourist heart of Jamaica and offers a perfect mix of relaxation and adventure. Go snorkelling at Doctor's Cave Beach and discover an underwater world full of exotic fish and coral reefs. Visit the historic Rose Hall Great House and learn more about the ghostly legends of Annie Palmer. Or, opt for a catamaran cruise and enjoy a beautiful sunset on the Caribbean Sea.

2. Climb Dunn's River Falls in Ocho Rios

One of the most popular excursions in Jamaica is climbing Dunn's River Falls, a spectacular 183-meter-long waterfall that flows down in stages. The climb is an adventure in itself, where you clamber up paths through the flowing water with the help of a guide. Along the way, you can cool off in natural pools and enjoy the surrounding rainforest. After the climb, relax on the nearby beach or explore the local markets of Ocho Rios.

3. Relax on the iconic Seven Mile Beach in Negril

Looking for sun, sea, and atmosphere? Negril's Seven Mile Beach is one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, with fine white sand and crystal-clear water. Here, it’s not just about sunbathing, you can also enjoy watersports like paddle-boarding and snorkelling. Head to the beach bars for a refreshing cocktail and fresh seafood while enjoying live music. The sunsets in Negril are legendary, too, and there's no better place to end the day than here.

And, true adventurers can climb Blue Mountain Peak, which stands at 2,256 meters tall, making it the highest mountain in Jamaica.
