Amazing experience packed in one day - This was such a rewarding experience! Really showcased the beauty and adventures that Jamaica had to offer. Tour guide was super helpful and knowledgeable of everything. Treated me to fresh Jamaican beef patties in the countryside, and ended the tour at the horse farm he operates to ride a horse in the ocean. All in all it was about 10 hours, but definitely packed a lot in and checked a lot of boxes in Jamaica! Would definitely suggest this tour to any of my friends looking to visit!

All day trip. - Private taxi driver was awesome taught us a lot through the trip. I would personally choose a different option rather than black river. It was okay but thought that it would be more. The Appleton was also cool experience should have gotten another special rum punch, price should've been less. Ys falls was great water was refreshing, we thought there would be a little more with this tour. The horseback riding was the ultimate! Riding in the ocean chest deep was the best. Overall it was perfect, you do have to pay for all entrance fees minus horseback riding. So expect another 100 pp after everything

For lovers of RUM - a really interesting visit ... especially for lovers of rum and spirits. a very entertaining guided tour with explanations and movements in the various phases of rum processing (from plants to distillation to bottling) also very appreciated the various stages of tasting of the various products ... but be careful not to get drunk ahahha. at the end of the tour you can buy many products and souvenirs in the factory shop and take home delicious and flavored fantastic rums.

Fun trip. Loved Black River. Rum Factory was good. - We had a great time on this trip. The Black River tour was awesome. We saw crocodiles and lots of birds. The guide was informative, engaged, and interesting. The YS Falls was a little disappointing. The Appleton Rum Factory tour was interesting, and the rum tasting was fun. We were staying in Negril, so the bus trip was quite long. It took almost 2 hours to get back. We are glad that we went and would recommend it to others.

Great excursions, terrible execution - Let’s start with the positive. The actual excursions were amazing! Appleton Rum was wonderful; I learned so much about the rum making process and the staff was great. YS Falls was super fun and beautiful. Horseback riding was peaceful and the staff was incredibly helpful and patient. Now the cons—we had to pay for everything. Not just Appleton Rum admission, but YS Falls and the safari/pelican bay admission (we declined that excursion because we were running out of cash). The driver stopped multiple times so that we can get snacks-that we paid for. Midway through the trip, we looked at the ticket and realized that snacks and lunch was included and once we complained, he provided a small lunch and purchase sugarcane and bammy for us. He never actually gave us the bammy though. The bathroom/house where we went horseback riding is pretty rough, so be prepared. And make sure the driver actually tells you a time to get back. My sister went the day before and he didn’t give them a time but then got mad when they were late. They were late because they were getting food. He didn’t provide any meals/snacks for them and the next day, he talked crap about them to us and told us they were drunk. Speaking of getting drunk, the rum tour is the first thing in the morning, so make sure you prepare to be tipsy for the rest of the day. It’s not safe to start the day off drinking and then go to a series of waterfalls and expect not to drown. Overall, the actual excursions were great, but the schedule is too ambitious and there needs to be truth in advertising.
