Overview

Leave the beach crowds behind for a full-day tour to the south coast of Jamaica, where you'll visit the Appleton Estate's rum distillery, and take a cool dip in the clear waters of YS Falls. YS Falls is one of the most natural and beautiful spots you will find in Jamaica. A spectacle, boasting a magnificent seven-tiered cascading waterfall and an expansive wading pool fed by underground springs. A recent addition to YS Falls is a canopy zipline tour which lets you "fly" up to 40 feet above the waterfalls. Our next stop is Appleton Estate, the oldest sugar estate and distillery in Jamaica. This tour provides you with an inside look at the process of making rum, one of Jamaica’s most famous export. At the end of the tour you are given the chance to sample the various liqueur that are produced at the distillery.

An AMAZING time with Mama G!

Published on Oct, 2024

This tour was amazing from pickup to drop off. Georgia aka “Mama G “ was our tour guide. She picked us up promptly at 8am and was a pleasure to meet. She provided us with history of Jamaica along the way and made sure she followed the best route to get us to our destinations safely. Mama G made us feel safe as if we were with our very own family! She was kind and made sure we knew exactly where to go and what to expect during our tours. Anytime we re-visit Jamaica she will definitely be our tour guide! We LOVE MAMA G!

The real Jamaican experience

We enjoy the real Jamaican experience with Mama G. She learned us a lot about Jamaica, the people, the nature, the food and she was an excellent driver! Thank you so much mama G for the wonderful day!

Great Tour Experience with Finesse!!

Published on Jun, 2024

We completed two separate tours with Das on different days, the foodie tour and YS Falls, with Black River Safari and Appleton Estates. He was a great tour guide. He provided us the full experience of Jamaican culture and food. He went above and beyond our expectations. We tried a variety of mangos, traditional dishes like curry chicken, curry crab, brown stewed chicken, rice and peas, boiled yam, bread fruit, boiled/fried dumpling and Jamaican desserts. Our visit to YS Falls was delightful. The falls were beautiful and pristine. Remember to bring bug spray because there are a lot of mosquitoes. Our visit to Appleton Estates was full of fun facts, like how fermentation is accomplished, the aging process of rum, the establishment of the estate in 1749, and over 2000 varieties of sugar cane. We completed our tour with a visit to Black River Safari, where Captain Cornell took us down river to meet some of its longtime residents, crocodiles, Victoria, Philip, Tom and Jerry just to name a few. We also interacted with smaller crocodiles in different stages of development. Das took pictures and shared them with us. You will not be disappointed if you reserve a private or group tour with Das. We will definitely book him again when we return to Jamaica.

AMAZING locations and even more amazing guide!

Published on Apr, 2024

Super nice and knowledgeable about plenty of topics about the island. We loved hearing his experiences and places that he loved to go and enjoy. Made the experience for us much more enjoyable with his knowledge and willingness to share it. Both the locations were AMAZING!! He made sure we had plenty of time and didn’t feel rushed. I would happily recommend anyone to him and would definitely go on another tour with him again.

Dip first with Rum to finish

Published on Feb, 2024

Absolutely amazing tour. Highly recommended. YS Falls is a must. Appleton Rum estate even better. BUT... Georgia "Mama G" as our tour guide was brilliant. Picked us up and pointed out all the sights on our long drive over to the South of the Island. Through her we saw more of the real Jamaica than we expected. She made a brilliant day even more amazing. Thank you xx
