I'm sure you could hire someone but not sure of anyone that's done that recently....it would take all day (by car it takes almost 2 hours to get there) & would be extremely pricey.
Went several years ago. At the time the boat ride was $10 per person. Probably more now.
We have transportation to the Peter Tosh Masoleum, YS Falls and to the Pelican Bar for $75 pp. I was asking about the actual boat ride to get to the Pelican Bar.
Thanks. any ideas on food/drnk prices?
Mbdelong...I unfortunately assumed you meant from Negril to the Pelican Bar....Yvonne is referring to the boat from Parottee Bay to Pelican Bar. Depending on the location of the boat in Parottee Bay the ride will be $10 to 15us per person.
Red Stripe was 400J when we were there beginning of April.
Thanks
It's possible to get a boat there from more than one spot. Parrotee is the closest/shortest (and usually cheapest) boat ride but you can also go from Black River (right there or just east, at Cloggy's), or if you weren't doing YS Falls, even from Whitehouse (closer to Tosh). Kind of depends how much boat time you want and how much you want to pay.
Mixed drinks $500J. Food...I think chicken and fish was around $10US, lobster more.
Bring bug spray if you are going to be there toward sunset. Good god, they were bad when we got off the boat last year.
I drove myself in feb. I caught the boat at Basils in Parottee it was $15US/$1500JD pp the beer was $400 @ Pelican Bar $300 @Basils
went to the Pelican with the old owner Kevin from Bourbon Beach a couple times......
there was a guy with a boat that lived before you got to Parottee......
and it was like $5US each......wi had 5 people one time and 4 the other.....
don't ask mi how to get der........mi don't have a clue as there were a zillion turns....
on your way back to Negril......stop at Cloggy's Restaurant for unbelievable fish.......
very laid back waterfront place....open air.....really nice vibe to the place
and it's very reasonable.....paid like $10US for a Bonita Fish Dinner and a cold Red Stripe beer
it's just south of Black River......the owner and the staff are a riot.......lol
Cool Runnings, Marko
I paid 20 US in April to get out to the bar.
Went last week, weather wasn't so hot but still had a great time. Land transport for 4 of us to Tosh , YS Falls and Pelican was $200 , great driver , road there was frickin nightmare especially with a hangover and out late night before. Tosh was cool but had to sort out an opportunist that was a little too out of line because we were taking pic's and wouldn't "pay him" for that, keep in mind he showed up out of no where from ACROSS the road. YS was just ok, not there fault , water was high due to recent rain and brown runoff, but Pelican was absolute off the charts crazy cool!! We had a blast at Pelican, guys there were awesome cool , spent a few hours there just playing dominoes and chatting would definitely go back , loved it.
I don't know how anyone is getting the boat to the bar for $5 or even $10 unless you have a large group or go there regularly and they know you. Basil wouldn't budge off $20 per person, that was only part of trip that I thought was a little out of line. Beers were $4 per beer. To me this is kind of a bucket list type adventure and trust me there is nothing that I know of like it else where, so I can see the charges per beer. We had a blast. Didn't have any food or mixed drinks so sorry can't help there.
