Black River boat tour plus Pelican Bar and Rick’s Café in Jamaica

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.

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.
