Experience the best of Jamaica with our Round-Trip Shuttle Transportation to Appleton Estate Rum & YS Falls tour. Explore the famous rum factory and indulge in a refreshing swim at the stunning YS Falls.
VIP Tous Jamaica transports visitors to the Appleton Estate and YS Falls in style. The Appleton Estate, a historic sugar estate and distillery in Jamaica, has been crafting rums since 1749. They offer a variety of aged rums, as well as standard gold and white rums. Situated in the heart of Jamaica’s sugar cane region, it is the oldest sugar estate and distillery in the country. The estate’s sugar cane is harvested both by machine and traditionally by workers with machetes.
A visit to this plantation takes you back in time, showcasing the traditional methods of milling cane for juice and producing rum and sugar, alongside modern techniques. Visitors can watch a 10-minute video detailing the entire process before starting the tour. You can sample all the by-products of sugar cane, including juice, molasses, wet sugar, and various rum flavors, which many visitors find to be a highlight. After spending about 2 hours here, the tour concludes, and it’s time to board your vehicle for the next attraction.
Your driver/guide will then take you to YS Falls. Originally a cane farm with a factory, YS Estate also supplied logwood for export to Europe. The current owner, Simon Browne, opened YS Falls to the public in 1992, fulfilling his lifelong dream. Although he initially wanted to admit only 25 people a day, the falls’ popularity has grown, and he now monitors visitor numbers to preserve its natural beauty. The tour begins with a short ride on a jitney, pulled by a tractor, through fields and across a river to this hidden paradise.
Enjoy the refreshing waterfalls, climb to different levels, swing on a rope, or simply relax on a stone and enjoy the water. There are pools for both adults and children, ziplining, or you can sit on the deck and watch hummingbirds drink from feeders. After spending about 2 hours, it’s time to change into dry clothes, get back on the bus, and prepare for your transfer back to Montego Bay.
