Highlights
Leave the beach crowds behind for a full-day tour to the south coast of Jamaica, where you'll visit the Appleton Estate's rum distillery, and take a cool dip in the clear waters of YS Falls. YS Falls is one of the most natural and beautiful spots you will find in Jamaica. A spectacle, boasting a magnificent seven-tiered cascading waterfall and an expansive wading pool fed by underground springs. A recent addition to YS Falls is a canopy zipline tour which lets you "fly" up to 40 feet above the waterfalls. Our next stop is Appleton Estate, the oldest sugar estate and distillery in Jamaica.

About Montego Bay
Montego Bay, on Jamaica's northwest coast, is the island's best-known resort town, with reef-fringed beaches, rum-fuelled nights and green hills behind.
The beaches along the Hip Strip, as Gloucester Avenue is known, are the centre of seaside life, with clear water, bars and craft stalls, and Doctor's Cave Beach has drawn bathers for generations. Offshore, the Montego Bay Marine Park protects coral reefs and seagrass beds that reward snorkelling and glass-bottom boat trips.
