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.

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."Vårt første stopp er Charles Town Basic School, en liten skole i hjertet av Charles Town Maroon-samfunnet.

Solnedgangscruise ved Montego Bay

Solnedganger er fantastiske over hele verden, men i Montego Bay tør vi love at de er magiske. Vi seiler katamaranen til tonene fra en saksofonist som spiller om bord, tar en drink i baren og nyter muligheten til å se en ekte karibisk solnedgang – og hvis vi er heldige, selv det sjeldne lysfenomenet Green Flash.Mens katamaranen seiler ut av Montego Bay, kan du beundre utsikten over Jamaicas nordkyst. I bakgrunnen spiller saksofonisten og i baren serveres tropiske drinker.Mannskapet serverer noen gode småretter i kveldssolen mens kapteinen kaster anker foran kveldens høydepunkt. Solnedgangene over Det karibiske hav er utrolige, og med en god porsjon flaks kan du til og med få et glimt av den såkalte Green Flash – et naturfenomen som gjør at solen får en smaragdgrønn krone når den går ned i horisonten.
