    Mcneil was my Guide he was very informative and courteous towards my son and myself. A really relaxing raft down the river, with our guide talking us through aspects of the Jamaica, and the beautiful greenery that surrounds Martha Brae River. This rafting is calm and relaxing, when you sit on a raft which each guide has hand made out of bamboo. You pass 'put up shops' on the river, you can buy items from sellers (for cash) & don't feel pressured to buy. Remember to bring your water shoes

    Transport from Negril a bit too long. Bad organisation either from TUI or from the transport company. Waisted 20 minutes outside an hotel awaiting for people who did not turn up and then were sent to another hotel again no show up!! Needs to be addressed

    We were left waiting on Sunday for a trip that was cancelled but none told us. Attended today and it was a chilled row down the river. The river was still high and we were informed it was the same on Sunday so we were lied to! The raft took us down the river which took about 45 minutes to ride the 3 miles through lush vegetation. Our river guide was very knowledgeable about the trees and plants. We stopped at a local shop to purchase souvenirs.

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.
