Why you’ll love this…

You'll follow your guide around the grounds of the oldest rum distillery on the island, Appleton Rum
During your visit to the YS Falls, you'll have plenty of time to go for a dip and cool off
This tour includes a boat trip to Pelican Bar, an above-water spot that's built on stilts
The experience is a private tour, meaning it has a much more laidback and bespoke feel
You'll have an expert local guide with you at all times who'll tell you all about the places you'll visit

What to expect

For an experience that's 100% Jamaica, look no further than this exclusive private excursion. A tour and tasting of the Appleton Estate rum factory gets the day off to a great start, followed by a refreshing dip in the famous YS Falls and a boat ride over to the one and only Pelican Bar. This is one of our private TUI Collection excursions, which give you a local flavour of the destination while offering you the freedom and flexibility to enjoy the day your way.

Kick off at the Appleton Estate and you'll tour the factory that produces what many consider the finest rums in Jamaica. Learn about the distillation process, juice your own cane and, of course, taste the honey-coloured rum. On to the cascading waters of the YS Falls, you'll cool off in the refreshing waterfall pools with a swim.

After lunch, we board a boat and glide out to the Pelican Bar. This ramshackle hut on stilts has to be seen to be believed. Standing on glittering waters, it's probably the coolest bar in the world. Don't forget to carve your name into the wood and if you have a flag handy, bring it out to barman Floyd. With luck, you might spot dolphins too.

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.

Jamaikan maroonit – kulttuurikierros sisältäen lounaan

Kierroksella Jamaikan pohjoisosassa opit tuntemaan saaren kulttuuria ja historiaa. Vierailet Charles Townin marooni-museossa oppiaksesi maroonien vapaustaistelusta, nautit maukkaan lounaan Strawberry Fields Togetherissa ja kävelet Sun Valleyn viljelytilalla maistelemassa tuoreita hedelmiä ja vihanneksia. Jada, yksi paikallisoppaistamme, sanoo: "Jamaikan maroonien perintö on ylpeä ja kiehtova. He ovat orjuutettujen länsiafrikkalaisten jälkeläisiä, jotka pakenivat plantaaseilta ja perustivat yhteisöjä, jotka tunnetaan nimellä Maroon Towns. Nämä yhteisöt säilyttivät afrikkalaiset juurensa – maroonikulttuuri tunnetaan eläväisestä musiikista, tanssista, tarinankerronnasta, yrttilääkinnästä ja keittiöstä."Ensimmäinen pysähdyspaikkamme on Charles Townin peruskoulu, pieni koulu Charles Townin maroonien yhteisön sydämessä. Sen jälkeen vierailemme marooni-museossa, jossa on esillä runsaasti esineitä, kuten perinteisiä vaatteita, aseita ja soittimia. Opit maroonien pitkästä vapaustaistelusta ja heidän tärkeästä roolistaan Jamaikan historiassa. Seuraavaksi nautit lounaan Strawberry Fields Togetherissa, josta on näkymä rannikolle. Viimeinen pysähdyspaikka on Sun Valley, maatila, joka esittelee Jamaikan parhaita tuotteita. Kävele trooppisia kukkia pursuavien puutarhojen läpi ja maistele siellä kasvavia tuoreita hedelmiä ja vihanneksia. Opit myös perinteisistä viljelykäytännöistä, jotka ovat elättäneet jamaikalaisia yhteisöjä sukupolvien ajan.

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.

Dunn's River Falls -vesiputouksen kierros

Jos olet nähnyt Cocktail-elokuvan, muistat varmasti Tom Cruisen ja naispääosan esittäjän nauttineen hetkestä Dunn's River Falls -vesiputouksilla. Tällä puolen päivän retkellä pääset tutustumaan yhteen Jamaikan tärkeimmistä luonnonnähtävyyksistä, josta poistut ällistyneenä ja hieman kastuneena – mutta se on sen arvoista.Kuvittele 180-metriset kallioportaat, joita pitkin vesi syöksyy alas, niin saat käsityksen Dunn's River Fallsista – yhdestä harvoista maailman vesiputouksista, jotka laskevat suoraan mereen. Tänne ei kuitenkaan tulla vain ihailemaan niitä, vaan myös kipuamaan sen huipulle.Kuka tahansa, pikkulapsista vanhuksiin, voi liittyä oppaan johtamaan jonoon ja yrittää valloittaa huipun. Jos et kuitenkaan halua kiivetä, voit kulkea molemmin puolin kulkevia polkuja pitkin tai jäädä alas rentoutumaan luonnonaltaisiin.

Evening Cruise on the Luminous Lagoon

Like a scene from hit-movie Avatar, the waters around you glow an electric shade of neon blue – a wondrous natural event.
