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.

Spirit of the Maroons - kulturel udflugt på Jamaica med frokost

Din rejse gennem Jamaicas nordlige del vil afsløre øens kultur og historie for dig. Du besøger Charles Town Maroon Museum for at lære om maronernes kamp for frihed, og du nyder en velsmagende frokost på Strawberry Fields Together og slentrer gennem Sun Valley landbrugsejendom for at smage friske frugter og grøntsager. Jada, en af vores dygtige lokale guider, siger: "De jamaicanske maroner har en stolt og fascinerende arv. De er efterkommere af slavegjorte vestafrikanere, der flygtede fra plantager og skabte samfund kendt som Maroon Towns. Disse samfund bevarede deres afrikanske rødder, og Maron-kulturen er kendt for levende musik, dans, historiefortælling, urtemedicin og deres køkken".Vores første stop er Charles Town Basic School, en lille skole i hjertet af Charles Town Maroon-samfundet. Derefter besøger vi Charles Town Maroon Museum - hjemsted for et væld af artefakter, herunder traditionelt tøj, våben og musikinstrumenter. Du vil lære om maronernes lange kamp for frihed og deres vigtige rolle i Jamaicas historie. Derefter nyder vi en velsmagende frokost på Strawberry Fields Together med udsigt over kysten, hvor du kan smage Jamaicas berømte smagfulde køkken. Vores sidste stop bliver på Sun Valley ejendommen, en gård, der fremviser de bedste af Jamaicas råvarer. Gå en tur gennem haverne, der bugner af tropiske blomster og smag på de friske frugter og grøntsager, der vokser her. Du kan også lære om traditionelle landbrugsmetoder, der har holdt liv i jamaicanske samfund gennem generationer.

Coffee farm hike through Jamaica’s Blue Mountains with brunch

As you hike through the misty Blue Mountains of Jamaica, take a moment to breathe in the scent of jasmine from the white-flowered coffee trees that mingle with palms, ferns and orchids in this part of the rainforest. Following the trails, you'll hear all about the traditions and techniques of coffee growing in this region – and why its beans are some of the most sought-after – and expensive – in the world. Marcus, a local guide, explains “the Blue Mountains are special, not just for their beauty, but for what they give the farming community. The high altitude, the cool climate and the rich soil are a dream for coffee growers.” The trail will take you on a leisurely trek up the mountain, past small family-owned coffee farms. Here, you'll learn more about how farmers have been harvesting ripe coffee cherries by hand, to create the mild, fruity and sweet flavour of Blue Mountain coffee, since the 18th-century. And the scenery here is pretty historic, too, like something out of Jurassic Park – think thick green rainforest dotted with waterfalls, valleys and misty mountain peaks. You'll want to keep your phone handy for pics.After a little over two miles of walking, you'll be rewarded with a cooling dip in the Blue Mountains Whirlpool. Marcus adds “don't worry – it's a deep rocky pool with a waterfall flowing into it – not a swirling vortex! It's locally known as the Fountain of Youth, so come swim off a few years.” Round off the tour by making a lasting impact on the local greenery. You'll plant a tree as part of a programme to support reforestation and sustainable farming in this part of Jamaica.

Dunn's River Falls Nogine Mile på udflugt

To jamaicanske legender er trækplastrene på denne uimodståelige udflugt. Du besøger den landsby i højlandet, som gav verden Bob Marley, for at udforske hans fødested og mausoleum, og du opdager en af de mest eksotiske naturattraktioner i landet - Dunn's River Falls.Dit udflugtseventyr starter stort set i det øjeblik, du forlader dit hotel, når du kører til kysten for at besøge Dunn's River Falls, som havde hovedrollen i James Bond-klassikeren Dr. No. Disse 55 meter høje og 180 meter brede vandfald er spækket med laguner, og det er en oplevelse i sig selv at bestige dem. Når vi kører ind i landet ad en snoet og til tider ujævn vej til St Ann Parish, kan man forvente en fantastisk udsigt over Dry Harbour Mountains, før man når frem til Nine Mile. Bob Marleys fødested er en national helligdom, og masser af rastafarier myldrer rundt udenfor. Du ser hans hjem og sidste hvilested, mens din guide fortæller dig om hans liv og musik.

Dunn’s River Falls på udflugt

Hvis du har set Cocktail, vil du huske, at Tom Cruise og hans kvindelige hovedrolleindehaver nyder et øjeblik ved Dunn's River Falls. Og på denne halvdagstur kommer du til at bestige en af Jamaicas største naturattraktioner, hvor du både vil blive forbløffet og lettere gennemblødt - men det er hele turen værd.Forestil dig en 180 meter lang klippetrappe med vand, der tordner ned ad den, og du så idéen om Dunn's River Falls - et af de få vandfald på jorden, der skyller direkte ud i havet. Men folk samles ikke her for bare at beundre dem - de bestiger dem - og heldigvis er det let at komme op til toppen.Du slutter dig til en guidet conga-kæde for at komme til tops, og alle, fra småbørn til seniorer, kan prøve. Men hvis du ikke har lyst til at bestige, kan du følge stierne på begge sider eller blive ved foden og slappe af i de naturlige pools.
