You'll enjoy a rum tasting session at Appleton Rum Estate
There's a chance to go waterfall pool swimming at YS Falls
The journey is part of the fun with a boat trip to Pelican Bar
Swimming in the natural pools around the Pelican Bar is a blissful bonus
Your tour is led by an expert local guide with unrivalled knowledge of Jamaica
What to expect
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.

Tamika and Dennis were brilliant. Overall we found the experience very informative and had great fun! The group size was quite small which was nice. We loved all the places we visited. It was a really long day travelling through challenging roads but we felt that we learnt a lot and had time to enjoy the different places we visited. The only negative was TUI advising some people that the tour had been cancelled. This caused an unnecessary delay in the morning whilst people got ready.

I have raised a separate complaint but YS falls was closed and therefore we did Black River safari instead. I was informed at pick up and there was no alternative to doing this. Felt like black river was a good substitute for YS Falls and therefore this spoilt the day for me.

Really enjoyed the tour the tour guide Yvonne was excellent informative & talked us through what to expect of the day along the way Yvonne picked up some refreshments. Appleton rum Tour was excellent then on to YS falls again very good & last boat trip to pelican bar then drive back to resort drive there & back felt rushed I'm guessing as he had a schedule to keep .Roads & traffic are horrendous.

Shelly-Ann (Gi-Gi) tour rep & Denis (driver) were brilliant and informative and FUN! Light breakfast: poor- 1 Pattie & a drink- would expect more.Appleton tour AMAZING.. could have given us a complimentary bottle at the end. YSFalls - lunch was nice but then only 45 minutes allowed to experience the falls: not long enough. Pelican Bar- great experience.Tour bus- not great for people in the back as they complained.Price of excursion needs to be reduced.We enjoyed it.a great day. It is a long day!

At the appleton distillery the guide was informative and we got to taste the process as you went along. Ys falls were beautiful. Staff were tentative. Felt like we could have had longer there though. Lunch was provided which was nice. Journey from Negril was long. Bus air con did not work so in 32 degrees heat it wasn't pleasant. Roads were bumpy but all adds to the experience. Our guide on the bus called Sis was great. She taught us some lingo and was very informative. The patties were yummy.

Guide ( Yvonne ) and driver ( Leon) were excelled. Well organised and timed perfectly. A relaxing, smooth, informative day. Loved the rum tasting, great to try sugar cane and 3 vintages of rum. YS falls was beautiful, plenty of time there to enjoy it. Pelican bar was a let down, commercial and very expensive, $10 per word carved into the wood and for a picture taken and emailed to you. Glad we did it but wouldn’t do the pelican bar again, YS and Appleton yes, 100%.

Loved the variety of the tour, with 3 very different activities, plus stopping for patties and juice in Savanna La Mar, and it was great to see real Jamaica, outside the tourist compounds. Appleton Rum Estate tour was excellent, very informative (and tasty!). YS Falls was beautiful, very calming and cool. Pelican Bar is quite unique and memorable. Our TUI guide, Sis, was great as was our driver, Leon. We were out for approx 12 hours and we loved every minute of it!

Appleton was ok, bit rushed, lots of pushing to buy products. Didnt get to see YA falls due to heavy rain, went Black river cruise and that was amazing-almost could touch the aligators. Pelican bar was amazing despite the slight drizzle, very relaxed, amazing views.

Appleton Rum, our second visit, very good and informative, but a bit rushed. YS falls, our second visit and so much better than last year. Our guide was great and grabbed my phone, took many pictures and videos of us. Pelican bar didn't happen, as when we got there, a storm blew up and it was too dangerous to go out to sea.

The experience was good, it was such a long day though. Tui said it would it would be 8 hours, we were out for 13 hours. The rum experience, YS falls and the pelican bar was great. The roads are terrible in Jamaica, we were on the bus for 3 hours until we got to Appleton Rum, we felt every bump in the road. Needless to say, my back is in bits today!

Long day out but worth every penny 7.30am pick up, back at 9.30pm. Brekfast at juicy patties was delicious. Guide and driver were both superb. Appletons tour was superb. Dinmer at YS falls was nice. Would have preferred a bit more time at the YS falls, I did the zipline ($50 extra paid at the falls) which gave some great views and was fun but never had any time to go in the pools and enjoy the falls. Pelican bar was incredible, awesome chilled vibe and a much deserved beer at the end of the day.

The tour was really interesting and our guide did an excellent job. Unfortunately the trip entailed a lot of travelling between the different attractions. The roads in Jamaica are full of potholes and we spent a lot of time on the coach. This made for an extremely long day of anround eleven hours from pick up to drop off at our hotel.

The minibus which was sent to collect us was not large enough for everyone. The aisle down the middle when we were all sat down was non existent. For a full day trip this was not acceptable. The Appleton tour was very good and highly recommended. The YS falls were breathtaking. However the pelican bar was a huge rip off. We were ferried out to the bar which is no more than a glorified raft on legs with a roof. They didn’t meet us off the boat. $50 for 4 watered down drinks was unacceptable.

Appleton was great, YS Falls was amazing but the pelican bar was a huge disappointment. No music, no atmosphere, no vibes. Just a run down bar on stilts in the sea - wouldn’t recommend the pelican bar unless you like sitting in a quiet atmosphere for an hour.

Sis and Keith (driver) are both really great. Plenty of information and pointing out items of interest. Appleton was fab, we tried going 6 years ago but due to refurbishment could not go. This time enjoyed the making process plus the shop. YS falls is really nice that all the locals and families attend at the same time. The pelican bar was nice but a little small. Was nice to get breakfast patty as just though would get lunch.

Overall a very good, but long day. YS Falls are a great experience, but you don't get much time to enjoy yourself before getting back on the bus. Appleton Rum was also very good, though a little rushed. A great experience and learnt a lot about Rum. Pelican Bar was a unique experience, but drinks are expensive. Our guide Danika, was very informative and very good at her job, we had a good laugh with her. The only real downside is the small and cramped bus driven at breakneck speed.

Generally the experience was very good and we have been to Appleton & Pelican Bar previously 5 years ago but not YS Falls. So generally we knew what to expect. What has changed is that you now need to complete a waiver in addition to the Tui waiver after you leave the hotel. This is done on a coach bumping all over the place on an unknown Wifi connection that was not working properly. It probably took an hour of retrying and ended up using the guided device and wasn’t complete when we arrived.

First of all I must say the guide and driver were first class, very knowledgeable and I would say very passionate about her country. All locations were fantastic and again the guides we had at each were always willing to help and answer any questions we had The only downside, which is the fault of no one is the roads, my god they are awful so when you spend about 4 hours travelling on them it's no fun, unfortunately it did put us off doing any other trips.

It was a ********** of a bus trip. The itinerary should state the realistic time including travel to and from the place. The Appleton Estate visit was interesting and the tasting at the end very insightful. The YS falls were good to see and dip the toes in but not enough time over there and the Pelican bar was just a waste of money and time.

The rum tasting was brilliant, great tour and rum tasting. Due to too much rain we could not go in the YSFalls but lunch there was great. The pelican bar was interesting but not really a bar like it is advised. I would advise all people viewing this experience that it is a very long day travelling on very bumpy roads but the rum tasting was so good. And all guides and driver were amazing.

Very poor service from TUI , online and in resort. Only 5 mins notice trip was cancelled 1st time. New date offered so tried again and again cancelled but notified evening before. New date offered but last day of holiday so could not rely on that and had to find another £300 to pay with alternative operator. In resort the Rep was unable to chase bookings for online experiences booked which was useless and she did not offer any alternative experience which may have been nice. TUI is now unrelia

Pick up from our hotel was early and it’s a long time driving, but you get to see a lot of the island. Appleton tour was really good and informative with a free cocktail on arrival and rum tasting. From there drive again to YS falls where we had lunch and was told only a hour here which I felt wasn’t long enough. Then onto the pelican bar which personally wasn’t great. Drink a bit pricey and again only a hour there. Would’ve preferred just the rum & falls

I already had an idea, as to what the Appleton Rum tour would be like. The tour did meet expectations. The YS Falls trip was a little bit of a disappointment, having done the Dunn's River Falls on a previous visit to Jamaica. Pelican bar was really good, just a pity we only had a short stay due to capacity.

We were not sure whether we were going on this trip or not as we were lead to believe that there was a minimum no needed. Contact through the app worked but we were never told still whether it was departing or not, was even sent a survey on how you had performed. We went to the reception at the required time and yes the trip did go ahead with even less people than the minimum no required. Great long day out, hats off to our driver Francis, driving through the sheeting rain!

It was a very long but also enjoyable day. We felt the trip encompassed a lot of what Jamaica had to offer. The Rum estate was interesting, YS falls were beautiful and the Pelican Bar was so unique! We felt the time allocated for each attraction was enough, but can see how it wouldn’t be if it was busy at each one. Lots of driving and sitting in a coach which wasn’t the most fun, but that’s part and parcel of a trip like this!

This was by far the best tour in Jamaica. YS falls was closed for some reason and we got taken to the black River safari as an alternative and it was fabulous. The rum tour was great.. but the pelican bar was mind-blowing. Absolutely unreal. Unfortunately the bus journey is awful. If you get travel sickness I do not recommend, a few people on the bus were really sick.

This is a really wonderful experience. It's a very long day, around 12 hours and there is alot of travelling time, the journey itself is quite uncomfortable due to the roads. However, the guide was very informative and told us about Jamaica's rich history and kept us constantly updated on our itinerary. YS falls are just beautiful and the Pelican Bar is crazy! Appleton was very good too. Definitely recommend this tour!

Enjoyed the Appleton Estate due to weather missed YSFalls and went to the Back River. Enjoyed Floyd’s bar. The day was rather long 13 hours. Trip ran 90mins over due late arrival at the Appleton Estate. Over all we did enjoy the day just a long day.

Really enjoyed Appleton Rum tour. Bus travel time was far longer than expected which removed some of the enjoyment from the day (spent 14 hours on trip, of which only about 4 hours was enjoying the attractions). YS Falls felt unsafe. Pelican Bar was unsuitable for children (drugs being openly smoked) and we felt compelled to buy photos and give tips for wood carver.

Great experiences. Being raining season I would have thought they would have cancelled part of the tour or replaced the element of it but we were still taken to YS falls even though we couldn’t experience them. The coach was too full and guide could not be heard on the speaker, could have given so much more of a talk on route to destinations but didn’t. Appleton rum was fun!. The light breakfast was simply a juicy patty. Veg option for lunch was just vegetables

It was just a enjoyable day getting to see the real Jamaica only downside is the travelling in the bus as I am not great at travelling in buses.

I enjoyed the host during our journey . She was able to explain some of the cultural elements of the island. At the Appleton factory, I enjoyed the host explaining the history and stages processes of making the rum. I got to take part in turning the press for juicing the sugar cane which I enjoyed. I would have liked it if I was able to buy some molasses. This could be something to consider in the future.

Appleton Rum tour was fantastic. YS Falls were disappointing. Pelican Bar was brilliant experience. Only problem was that the tour doesn't state on the website that you don't get back until 9.30 at night, for some hotels. And you can miss your evening dinner. It should be clearly stated before booking, not just say the standard 8 hours.

It was great seeing 3 main attractions in Jamaica. The rum tour included welcome drinks and tour was very interactive and insightful. I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. Ys falls was beautiful but very rushed as we only had 45 minutes to explore. Pelican bar was nice to experience but was very packed. The service was poor too. After 45minutes of ordering food it still wasn’t ready and we had to ask for a refund as the boat was ready to take us back. The food was overpriced too.

The whole experience was brilliant. Having three ‘mini’ excursions in one trip is a great way to experience the different aspects of the island and get to understand the culture. The only downside was the distance to travel to and from the resort as it was quite a long day out. While the trip indicated it would be 4-8 hours, it was actually more like 10-11 hours when taking into account travel time. It was still well worth the trip and we would definitely recommend (especially for rum lovers!)

Mixed trip. Advertised as 8hrs was in actually13hrs. Appleton rum was 5/5 excellent tour & guide there was engaging. YS falls a lot of fun 4/5. Pelican bar 1/5. Arrived in torrential rain & thunderstorm, guests were uncomfortable with the open boat trip to the bar, but was no back up plan (this is rainy season) despite requests to leave we had to wait for rain to stop. Guide seemed out of depth. Spent 1hr in damp cold bar, food service slow & only ready on leaving. 3hr trip back was cold & wet.

It’s was a brilliant day our guide was very informative , we feel that it was good value for money . Appleton estate I would love to do again pelican bar was rugged but great experience, YS falls just great … only down side two hour winding journey to Appleton from Montego Bay my 18 year old got travel sick . Tour guide and bus driver great stopped for her . Put her upfront with window open and Appleton fixed her a drink to settle her stomach which worked a treat and she enjoyed the visit

YS Falls was amazing, we loved it a lot . Appleton Estate AMAZING. The downer was the pelican bar was a let down . From the videos we saw online to actually being there was total different after getting off the boat and looking around that was it nout else . Could have done with out that part of the trip . Just wanted to leave after 5 mins and speaking to the party of people that we came with they were saying the same too

Pelican bar was really good. Day was very long, 12.5 hours, which was not helped by waiting around for breakfast and felt a little rushed at YS Falls. But overall a very good trip

Enjoyed the Appleton Rum experience and the YS Falls. Pelican bar did not add to our experience. Would go to the other 2 again. However was not informed of how long the journey would be. Coach too small and uncomfortable particularly when full. Disappointed to spend only 45 mins at the YS Falls but booked through TUI website so better travel info required.

3 great trips in one, only issue is that it’s a very very long day at about 13 hours from pick up to drop off. Guide and driver were superb. Even though it’s long, it’s still a good trip.

Excursion great. Tour Guide Shinique and bus driver were excellent. All aspects of your well organised. Didn’t feel rushed. Plenty of time to enjoy Appleton Rum Distillery tour and tasting (guide and rum tasting expert very knowledgeable), YS Falls stunning and surprising accessible (no hiking up hill), Floyds Pelican Bar surreal experience.
