Why you’ll love this…
  • You'll follow your guide around the grounds of the oldest rum distillery on the island, Appleton Rum

  • This tour includes a boat trip to Pelican Bar, an above-water spot that's built on stilts

  • You'll have an expert local guide with you at all times who'll tell you all about the places you'll visit
What to expect

For an experience that's 100% Jamaica, look no further than this exclusive private excursion. A tour and tasting of the Appleton Estate rum factory gets the day off to a great start, followed by a refreshing dip in the famous YS Falls and a boat ride over to the one and only Pelican Bar. This is one of our private TUI Collection excursions, which give you a local flavour of the destination while offering you the freedom and flexibility to enjoy the day your way.

Kick off at the Appleton Estate and you'll tour the factory that produces what many consider the finest rums in Jamaica. Learn about the distillation process, juice your own cane and, of course, taste the honey-coloured rum. On to the cascading waters of the YS Falls, you'll cool off in the refreshing waterfall pools with a swim.

After lunch, we board a boat and glide out to the Pelican Bar. This ramshackle hut on stilts has to be seen to be believed. Standing on glittering waters, it's probably the coolest bar in the world. Don't forget to carve your name into the wood and if you have a flag handy, bring it out to barman Floyd. With luck, you might spot dolphins too.

    We did the tour privately as the tui tour could not take my wheelchair. Appleton tour was fabulous, hot, but fabulous the tour guide was very knowledgeable and the rum tasting taught me alot. YS falls beautiful ?? and meal at the cafe was to die for. That lady does wonders in her hut. Didnt go to Pelican bar due to personal reasons so our driver took us for a drive through Black river to show us abit more of this side of the island. Talking about our drive excellent and knowledgeable very HAPPY

    Appleton was excellent, YS falls were good but not enough time there, lunch was brilliant and so was the Pattie stop. Pelican Bar was an experience an hour is long enough on it, beware of the toilet and sellers! Driver the we had was incredible so much knowledge and pride in his country, 13 hour trip was incredible start to finish highly recommend

    The paperwork said collection at 8am. We got a phone call at 6am while still in bed to say our driver was here. We left at 6.30am and thankfully we did. 6.30am really should be a standard or atleast 7am. We negotiated YS falls first and then the rum place. I wanted to enjoy the YS falls in peace - not at lunch time with hordes of people. We booked private so we could flip the itinary. Also drinking rum at 9.30am would have been too much and the. Walking on slippy rocks? YS falls should be 1st.

    Kompetende Reiseleitung ist sehr zu empfehlen. Negativ ist das wir für den deutschsprachigen Ausflug deutlich mehr bezahlen mussten als für den englischen.

Dunn's River Falls  Nogine Mile på udflugt
Udflugter & dagsture

Dunn's River Falls Nogine Mile på udflugt

To jamaicanske legender er trækplastrene på denne uimodståelige udflugt. Du besøger den landsby i højlandet, som gav verden Bob Marley, for at udforske hans fødested og mausoleum, og du opdager en af de mest eksotiske naturattraktioner i landet - Dunn's River Falls.Dit udflugtseventyr starter stort set i det øjeblik, du forlader dit hotel, når du kører til kysten for at besøge Dunn's River Falls, som havde hovedrollen i James Bond-klassikeren Dr. No. Disse 55 meter høje og 180 meter brede vandfald er spækket med laguner, og det er en oplevelse i sig selv at bestige dem. Når vi kører ind i landet ad en snoet og til tider ujævn vej til St Ann Parish, kan man forvente en fantastisk udsigt over Dry Harbour Mountains, før man når frem til Nine Mile. Bob Marleys fødested er en national helligdom, og masser af rastafarier myldrer rundt udenfor. Du ser hans hjem og sidste hvilested, mens din guide fortæller dig om hans liv og musik.
