Excursions & day trips
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.

Kingston and Blue Mountains tour with Bob Marley Museum
The striking contrasts of urban and rural Jamaica are in the spotlight on this tour. Exploring Kingston and the Blue Mountains offers a great introduction to the island's character. Among the gems on this excursion are visits to a coffee plantation, Emancipation Park and the iconic Bob Marley Museum. As one of our seasoned guides puts it, "The blend of city vibrancy and tranquil countryside truly encapsulates the heart of Jamaica." The adventure begins with a venture into the misty Blue Mountains. Savour an authentic Jamaican lunch, before setting off on a tour of the Rainforest Alliance-certified Craighton Estate. Let your senses be tantalised by the aroma of Blue Mountain coffee – widely recognised as one of the world's finest. Our guide shares, “The taste of freshly brewed coffee from the plantation is an experience like no other.” Next, we plunge into the pulsating rhythm of Kingston. Explore historic sites in the capital's uptown such as Emancipation Park – home to the powerful Redemption Song and Bob Marley statues. At the Bob Marley Museum, you'll be able to learn all about reggae history, viewing mementos including his gold and platinum discs as well as his personal outfits and instruments. This tour promises an unforgettable insight into the soul of Jamaica.
