YS Falls, Black River Safari, Appleton Rum Tour or Pelican Bar (Choose 3)

Our tour guide Charles (Charlito to us) was EVERYTHING, he was kind, funny, considerate, and ensured that our tour was the best! We did the YS Falls and Appleton Rum Estates (supposed to do Black River Safari but there was a storm and we were not upset at all). He provided knowledge of the island and the people of the island. We had street food (from the side of the road) and it was the BEST food ever! He took us to the Harley Davidson store and that meant a lot to me because of my dad (that was not on the tour) but was happy to oblige and take pics for us throughout...I would choose them over and over again! Great start to our vacation. Thanks Charles

Husband & I had a great experience with YJTG. We stayed in Negril, and we had originally booked a tour to ochos ríos/dunn’s falls. The company contacted us well in advance to let us know that that travel was 3 hours one way, and gave us the option of booking this trip instead if we preferred something closer. We really appreciated this, and took them up on their offer. We chose to go to YS falls, Appleton rum estate, and pelican bar. Our driver Adrian was early picking us up from our hotel and made sure we got around safely, giving us some background along the way. We stopped for a local spot for lunch that he recommended, which was both cheap and delicious (we got stewed pork and curry chicken). Ar was well-air conditioned, spacious, and spotless. Adrian even cleaned the floors while we were doing activities so it would be clean again when we got back. We would happily book with YJTG and Adrian again. As far as the excursion items: - YS falls: very organized set up and the falls are beautiful. the individual guides for each group (in this case, husband and I had our own) led us through the swimming areas, showing us where to step on the submerged rocks and how to use the rope swings, and taking plenty of photos for us without us even asking. We weren’t able to swim at the last set of falls due to the currents being too strong from recent rains, but we still enjoyed ourselves regardless. Of note, some of the waterfall areas are not recommended for non-swimmers, but there are other shallow swimming areas for children/non-swimmers. - Appleton rum estate: to our surprise, this was actually our favorite of the 3. We knew absolutely nothing about rum and Appleton does a great job of walking you through the entire process, and you get to taste/participate in the steps. We enjoyed the rum to the point that we bought some Appleton rum at duty free later on, something we never do. - Pelican bar: the only way to get there is by boat, which picked us up from Adrian and took us back later (after asking us for an approximate pick up time). we would’ve probably enjoyed pelican bar more if the weather was sunnier, as it’s a cool little bar in the middle of the water. There are drinks/food for sale, and the water around the bar is shallow enough to stand in. Overall, we enjoyed this set of excursions and would recommend it to others!

I enjoyed the whole experience our driver Wayne was very knowledgeable about the history of the island and I love history. The guides were informative and kept everyone entertained. It has made my first trip very memorable 💖

The tour itself cannot even be offered on Mondays (when we booked) as two of the four attractions are closed. The company also won't offer an appropriate refund - I strongly do not recommend booking as they are unable to deliver the product that they advertise.

We just got back a few days ago and we highly recommend the tour. The Appleton Estate tour was very informative. Our tour guide lead us through from start to finish the process of making rum. At the end of the tour we then were given three samples of rum we learned what to look for for instance color, legs it leaves on the glass and the aging process. It also has a great gift shop. The safari was so much fun and interesting. Again the tour guide was top notch he was very informative and we had a couple alligators come to visit. On our third stop we went to Floyd's bar. WOW !! That was so much fun and we are in our 60's ! Very interesting. Even had our names carved on a wooden plank. We will always be at Floyd's bar. Lastly our drive was the best. He was very informative and went over and beyond what we expected.

Jerry! He was the best driver. He made our day so unforgettable! The falls, crocs, and Appleton distillery were great choices. It felt like a dream! I cant wait to see Jerry and explore more!

YS Falls are a fantastic place.. very well organized and just beautiful nature. my husband enjoyed the Appelton State Rum Tour.. Thank you Viator

Would highly recommend this tour, locals or tourists. In the very beginning our tour guy, Mr. Dale was punctual and pleasant. Conversation was easy going and he’s very accommodating. Allowed my partner and I to have a few stops along the way and I think those also added more splahh to the events of the days. Dale also assisted with our tickets/check in at every location and I thought that was really nice. Overall it was a very good transport.

Romaine was a great tour guide. Would most definitely recommend! We had a blast. Waterfalls were gorgeous.

Driving through the countryside was really great, seeing Villages along the way. The rum tour was impressive, although I might suggest it's best to saved for later in the day rather than 9 a.m. 😁. The crocodiles were was also quite amazing, traversing an entirely different ecosystem. The Pelican bar is one of those things that is worth doing once, a cool experience but I don't think I'd become a regular. Cedric or driver was great. Informative, friendly, professional.
