What is your top "day trip" or experience?

But seriously, YS Falls combined with a trip to the Pelican Bar seems doable. Google maps says its 2 hrs from Pelican Bar back to Negril. 1.5ish from Negril to YS falls and 40mins from the falls to the bar. I think that's optomistic and not accounting for island time. Thoughts?

Would one be better than the other to visit first? I'm guessing the falls first.
Does leaving Negril at 9 sound logical?
Whats the best way? Booking a private driver/tour like talk of the town or one of the guides mentioned on this board?

We're thinking kind of similarly. I'm considering tacking on the Pelican Bar to our trip to Appleton, but not sure if it would pair better with YS Falls, instead. I don't want to go more than two places on one day because I'd hate to feel rushed, but I'm pretty keen on all three of those.

I've looked at a few of the private driver/tour groups and many of them do say they pair Pelican Bar with both Appleton & YS, so it's certainly a reasonable prospect. One I looked at said they leave at 8:00am, so close to what you were thinking.

All of this stuff seems awesome. I want to be careful not to plan to do too much, though... need to leave time to just do whatever the day feels like.

Mayfield Falls has always been my favourite for the overall experience. Walking the falls, swimming and jumping in deeper pools of water, guides explaining plants and telling stories, a really cool place!

If you can, go to the Rocklands bird sanctuary. You will love it.

How about a trip to Little Ochi in Alligator Pond for the best seafood in jamaica.Blackie does a gret job there.

I liked going to the Blue Hole. It would make a nice day trip. Its not too far from Negril either. They have a bar and are building rooms.

YS falls would be my choice

We enjoyed our trip to the Blue Hole, as well. You can pair it up with a trip to nearby Little Bay. LB is a quiet change of pace from Seven Mile Beach, where you'll find mostly fishermen. There is not much there in the way of diversions, except for a small stand selling drinks.

We did YS and Pelican together and had plenty of time if we didnt get a flat on the way back. Be sure to take a pit stop in Belmont for the Peter Tosh masoleum also. We also did the Black River and the blue hole and cave in Roaring River on a different trip. Wouldn't reccomend Black River though.

We did YS & the Pelican Bar in one day. We left 8:30ish and went to YS first (with a stop for peanut porridge along the way), faced my fears and did the zipline, climbed the falls and posed for some pictures, then hit the Pelican Bar for a late lunch. Made it back to Negril around 6:30 or so?? It was a long day, but a good one. We went with Gregg from Reggae Tours.
