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.

    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.

Dunn's River Falls & Nine Mile

To av Jamiacas mest berømte severdigheter er trekkplastrene på denne utflukten. Vi besøker landsbyen der Bob Marley ble født samt hans hjem og mausoleum. I tillegg får du oppleve en av landets mest eksotiske naturattraksjoner, fossefallet Dunns River Falls.Eventyret starter med en gang du forlater hotellet, og vi drar mot kysten for å besøke Dunns River Falls, der James Bond-klassikeren Dr. No ble spilt inn. Dette 55 meter høye og 180 meter brede fossefallet renner ut i laguner og en klatretur oppover i fossen er et eventyr i seg selv.Vi fortsetter innover i landet for en svingete og noen ganger humpete reise til St Ann Parish. Underveis nyter vi fantastisk utsikt over Dry Harbour Mountains før vi kommer til Nine Mile. Bob Marleys fødested er en nasjonal helligdom og rastafarier valfarter hit. Du får se Bob Marleys hjem og hans siste hvilested mens guiden forteller om hans liv og musikk.

Spirit of the Maroons med lunsj – kulturell utflukt på Jamaica

På reisen gjennom Jamaicas nordlige del får du et innblikk i øyas kultur og historie. Vi besøker Charles Town Maroon Museum for å lære om maroonenes kamp for frihet, nyter en velsmakende lunsj og spaserer gjennom Sun Valley Plantation for å smake på fersk frukt og grønnsaker. Jada, en av våre dyktige lokalguider, sier: "De jamaicanske maroonene har en stolt og fascinerende arv. De er etterkommere av vestafrikanske slaver som rømte fra plantasjer og opprettet lokalsamfunn kjent som Maroon Towns. Disse lokalsamfunnene bevarte sine afrikanske røtter – maroon-kulturen er kjent for sin levende musikk, dans, historiefortelling, urtemedisin og mat."Vår første stopp er Sun Valley Plantation, en sjarmerende liten gård hvor du kan rusle gjennom hager og se på tropiske blomster og smake på noen av fruktene og grønnsakene som dyrkes her. Du får også se hvordan lokalbefolkningen har drevet gården i generasjoner. Deretter går turen videre til Charles Town Basic School, en liten skole i hjertet av Charles Town Maroon-samfunnet. Senere besøker vi Charles Town Maroon Museum, som huser en rik samling av gjenstander, blant annet tradisjonelle klær, våpen og musikkinstrumenter. Du får lære om maroonenes lange kamp for frihet og deres viktige rolle i Jamaicas historie.Deretter er det tid for lunsj, hvor du får spise som en lokal takket være alle de tradisjonelle jamaicanske rettene på menyen. Du spiser på et avslappet sted med utsikt over kysten.

Vandring på kaffefarm i Blue Mountains med brunsj

Vandring på kaffefarm i Blue Mountains med brunsj

Mens vi går gjennom de tåkete Blue Mountains på Jamaica, kan du ta deg tid til å puste inn duften av jasmin fra de hvitblomstrede kaffetrærne som blander seg med palmer, bregner og orkideer i denne delen av regnskogen. På stiene får du høre alt om tradisjonene og teknikkene for kaffedyrking i denne regionen – og hvorfor kaffebønnene er noen av de mest ettertraktede og dyreste i verden. Marcus, en lokal guide, forklarer: "Blue Mountains er spesielle, ikke bare på grunn av sin skjønnhet, men også på grunn av det de gir bøndene. Den store høyden, det kjølige klimaet og det rike jordsmonnet er en drøm for kaffedyrkere."Stien tar deg med på en rolig vandring oppover fjellet, forbi små familieeide kaffegårder. Her får du lære mer om hvordan bøndene siden 1700-tallet har høstet modne kaffekirsebær for hånd for å skape den milde, fruktige og søte smaken til Blue Mountain-kaffen. Og landskapet her er også ganske historisk, som tatt ut av Jurassic Park – forestill deg tykk, grønn regnskog med fosser, daler og tåkete fjelltopper. Her er det lurt å ha telefonen klar til å ta bilder.Etter litt over tre kilometers vandring blir du belønnet med et avkjølende bad i Blue Mountains Whirlpool. Marcus legger til: "Ikke vær redd – det er et dypt steinete basseng med en foss som renner ned i det - ikke en virvlende virvel! Det er lokalt kjent som ungdomskilden, så kom og svøm av deg noen år." Rund av turen med å gjøre en varig innsats for det lokale grøntområdet. Du planter et tre som en del av et program for å støtte skogplanting og bærekraftig jordbruk i denne delen av Jamaica.
