Amazing Experience! - Tour guide Petal and driver Courtney made this day absolutely perfect! Nonstop laughs on this tour. She was extremely knowledgeable and an all around fun person. Courtney gave us good vibes, good music and great laughs. Next time around in 🇯🇲 I’m definitely booking with them.
Tiffany at Appleton was our tour guide and gave us a complete tour starting with the sugarcane plant all the way up to the finished production. The rum tasting was amazing. She was fun and kept us engaged and entertained.
An absolutely incredible day 😊

One love Jamaica trip !! - Should you be fortunate to be hosted by Petal and Shipley you are guaranteed to have a memorable time . From pick up to drop off they were unbelievably attentive , knowledgable , welcoming and friendly .
One love !!
The trip was amazing value for money seeing as we visited 3 different attractions .
Firstly, we visited the black river and was lucky enough to have a great guide and spotted at least 10 friendly crocodiles and lots of wildlife . The skipper even shook hands with one . The YS falls were amazing . However, due to recent heavy rainfall the current was very strong . Great place .
Lastly, we visited Appleton Estate . We had a great lunch and the tour was hosted by Peter who was funny, knowledgeable and informative . The rum tasting was good fun .
The journey home was an experience due to a heavy downpour of rain and Shippy navigated us safely home through mainly floods and cajs 😂 Petal served some light refreshments on the way back which made the 3 hour journey back most pleasurable .
One love !!! 🇯🇲🇯🇲

Appleton, YS Falls, Black River Safari triple - A really good day seeing all three attractions. Appleton experience is well worth doing. YS Falls are beautiful and guides are well practiced at getting pictures for you (tip: flip flops can't be worn, but crocs and other strapped sandles are ok). Picked up c8am and home c1830.
A special thank you to our driver, Alex, who located my husbands sunglasses and dropped them back to the hotel for us - very much appreciated!!

Phenomenal excursion and experience - It was amazing! My family and I got the full amount of time and experience we expected to (including the ride) out of this excursion. Everything sent smoothly. Our driver and tour guides were all phenomenal and went out of their way to make the long ride comfortable and fun for all of us. 10 stars for the excursion, all the events, and all the staff.

A tour worth taking! - We had a great time. Each event was unique and enjoyable. We saw a lot of crocodiles at black river. The falls were beautiful but that stop felt very rushed. The lunch, tour, tastings and Appleton guide were great!
The overall tour guide provided a lot of great history along the way but it was difficult to hear her in the backseat. She needs a mic. It would be ideal if she could layout the day in more detail upfront. The booking details said "bring your suit" which really should say wear your suit. We lost 15 minutes at the falls changing clothes.
The roads in Jamaica are terrible so the long ride was awful because we were bouncing constantly.
Three stops in one day is a lot so be prepared for a 10 hour day because the commute time is 4+ hours round trip.

Tour super, charging tedious - The tour itself was nice and well organized. However, there were delays when charging because we were told a different charging location than the driver. After 20 minutes Waiting time we tried to call the office of Chukka Adeventours. Our call was not answered. By chance, the driver saw us and yet took us with him.
According to our tour guide happens more frequently. Due to these delays, one or the other on the tour was also a bit short of time. Too bad!
