I've done the YS Falls, Pelican Bar in one day...never had the interest to do the Appleton Rum Tour, but have some of our group interested...
a few questions as I gather info
Is this too much for one day, will we be rushed at the end of the trip?
any contact for the boat guys for pelican and what is the average rate now?
anyone have any good stories or trip reports about these trips?
how long is the appleton tour, anyone know the hours,
Appleton tours are 2 hours and run from 9-3:30
I found a post about captain Dennis
I'm worried it's too much for one day, but I'm having trouble choosing two of the three activities. I'd love to do pelican bar, but go back and forth with Appleton and YS falls. Appleton suits my personal interests more than YS, but I know YS will be beautiful!
i dont think its to much.......................think of it as killing 3 birds with a stone>>>>>>>>>>>>theRUM tour is the only variable..................... we walked around for 20 mins then went to the tasting room...lol
at appleton estates WE ARE RUMPEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!
The Appleton website says allow two hours for the tour. If it's less that would be ok, then we could move on to YS.
Theres no way I'm am dealing with a bus ride with all you all without a visit ti Ys, i'm thinking we just go, party , find a hotel/motel and do an over night thing...just saying :)
This is just my opinion but when I go to Jamaica I want to relax, not travel a marathon of tour locations. I would rather see one or two locations and have time to enjoy it. We went to Pelican Bar a number of years ago with Rocky of Rocky's Tours. In fact that was even the first time Rocky had been there. We went to Parottee Beach and took a boat from there. The boat ride was only a mile or two unlike when you use Captain Dennis you have a long boat ride. We also had a little tour of some vendors at Black River. That made for a long enough day for us.
Chuck, that's what I am saying, we could just stay there, and have a slumber party !! :)
I'd rather cut the tour short than sleep over. I'm already paying for my room in Negril!
I guess if I had to choose, I'd pick YS falls and pelican bar, and save Appleton for another trip. It's going to be a long day as it is, and we'd have to leave Negril around 8:30 am just to fit it all in before sunset.
Good tip about captain Dennis, chuck! I just came across his info, hadn't looked into him further.
Livin, I agree, I could totally pass onAppleton, in fact if we don't do Ys, I might just skip, pretty hot in April those falls will feel pretty good mid day !!!!
The more I think about it, the more I like the idea of YS then Pelican, or vice versa... maybe Pelican for lunch then the falls... but I wouldn't want anyone getting drunk and falling down the falls and getting hurt... so maybe falls, drinks at pelican, and late lunch at that place Orbra mentioned? Maybe people can just pack snacks, and there is a snack bar at the falls, right?
Bill was the first to mention Appleton, so I'd love to get his thoughts, and everyone else for that matter.
Groove16 reminded me that its still 6 months away, but like you all know, I'm a bit of an over-planner! plus, I'm just really excited!!!
