    Our guide Jerome was a beautiful soul, he told a lot about Jamaican culture, the people and their philosophy on life and your surroundings. We had a great group and we sang a lot of songs together. It is a long day out and it takes 3 to 3.5 hours to get to Kingston but once there it’s a fantastic experience. Loved the Blue Mountains, the coffee plantation and visiting Bob Marleys house. Thank you again Jerome for making this day so special

    Leon the bus driver was fab. Our guide who I remember as Bestie was the font of all knowledge. Without them it would not have been the same. It's a long ********** day, apart from a walk through a park we didn't see a lot of Kingston other than cars being bumper to bumper. Bob Marley museum was amazing. Coffee plantation on the ????? was great but felt it was a long time on the bus and not long enough at the destinations. Felt rushed but understand there's a schedule to follow.

    Our tour guide Keisha was friendly, helpful, full of vibrancy and was knowledgable when telling stories about the Jamaican history whilst on the bus route to the Blue Mountains and in Kingston. The journey there and back was long however her positive energy made time fly by. Our bus drivers road experience kept us safe. Our tour guide Ricky at the Bob Marley Museum was great. We are fans of true reggae music and being in a space where music and history - made our trip extra special - Thanks

    We absolutely loved our guide Keisha and driver Christopher. The food was delicious, the bob Marley museum was great, and the coffee plantation was spectacular. We felt that the visits to emancipation park and the wall of fame were very “drive by” with no real time to stop and look properly. although we enjoyed this tour a lot and learned a lot, we felt that it was expensive for what it was in comparison to other Tui tours we have done in other Caribbean countries.

Appleton Rum tasting, YS Falls and Pelican Bar tour

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.

They are descendants of enslaved West Africans who escaped from plantations and created communities known as Maroon Towns. These communities preserved their African roots – the Maroon culture is known for vibrant music, dance, storytelling, herbal medicine, and cuisine."Our first stop is at Sun Valley Plantation, a cute little farm where you'll stroll through gardens to look at tropical flowers and taste some of the fruits and vegetables that're grown here. You'll also see how the locals have farmed here for generations. Afterwards, you'll head to the Charles Town Basic School, a small school at the heart of the Charles Town Maroon community. Then, you'll visit the Charles Town Maroon Museum – home to a wealth of artifacts, including traditional clothing, weaponry, and musical instruments. You'll learn about the Maroons' long struggle for freedom and their important role in Jamaica's history. Next, it's time to sit down for lunch, which will have you eating like a local thanks to all the traditional Jamaican dishes on the menu. You'll dine in a laidback spot overlooking the coast.

Coffee farm hike through Jamaica’s Blue Mountains with brunch

As you hike through the misty Blue Mountains of Jamaica, take a moment to breathe in the scent of jasmine from the white-flowered coffee trees that mingle with palms, ferns and orchids in this part of the rainforest. Following the trails, you'll hear all about the traditions and techniques of coffee growing in this region – and why its beans are some of the most sought-after – and expensive – in the world. Marcus, a local guide, explains “the Blue Mountains are special, not just for their beauty, but for what they give the farming community. The high altitude, the cool climate and the rich soil are a dream for coffee growers.” The trail will take you on a leisurely trek up the mountain, past small family-owned coffee farms. Here, you'll learn more about how farmers have been harvesting ripe coffee cherries by hand, to create the mild, fruity and sweet flavour of Blue Mountain coffee, since the 18th-century. And the scenery here is pretty historic, too, like something out of Jurassic Park – think thick green rainforest dotted with waterfalls, valleys and misty mountain peaks. You'll want to keep your phone handy for pics.After a little over two miles of walking, you'll be rewarded with a cooling dip in the Blue Mountains Whirlpool. Marcus adds “don't worry – it's a deep rocky pool with a waterfall flowing into it – not a swirling vortex! It's locally known as the Fountain of Youth, so come swim off a few years.” Round off the tour by making a lasting impact on the local greenery. You'll plant a tree as part of a programme to support reforestation and sustainable farming in this part of Jamaica.
