Morning Adventures: Waterfalls and Rum

Start your weekend in Treasure Beach with a splash of adventure and a hint of rum. On March 1st, the weather is perfect for a morning exploration with clear skies and a gentle breeze. Begin your day with the Jamaica Authentic Exploration tour, which kicks off as early as 7:00 AM. This all-day excursion takes you through the lush landscapes of Jamaica’s South Coast, offering a chance to experience the breathtaking Ys Falls. As you wander through the verdant gardens and magnificent trees, the cascading waterfalls provide a refreshing escape from the morning heat.

After soaking in the natural beauty, it’s time to indulge in the rich flavors of Jamaica at the Joy Spence Appleton Estate Rum Experience. Here, you’ll discover the art of rum-making in the heart of the Nassau Valley. The tour offers a fascinating glimpse into the history and production of this iconic Jamaican spirit. As one reviewer noted on August 14, 2024:

Great day, great experience - The best part of our experience was Liel, our driver. He was knowledgeable and made sure we had a great experience. The only thing to keep in mind is that this is an all-day excursion and there is a lot of in the car driving but it is well worth the experience.

Afternoon Delights: Pelican Bar and More

As the afternoon approaches, the weather might bring a chance of rain, but don’t let that dampen your spirits. Head over to Floyd’s Pelican Bar, a unique spot located in the middle of the Caribbean Sea. Accessible by a short boat ride, this rustic bar offers stunning views and a laid-back atmosphere. Enjoy a cold drink while watching the waves crash against the wooden structure. If you’re lucky, you might even spot dolphins playing in the distance.

The Appleton Estate Rum Tour is another fantastic option for the afternoon. This tour not only takes you through the scenic countryside of Jamaica but also includes a visit to the Pelican Bar. As one reviewer shared on October 10, 2023:

The Rum experience - For years I have always wanted to see how rum was produced. It was a game changer to see this seventeenth-century estate, then it was on to the pelican bar in the middle of the Ocean. I truly enjoyed this tour.

Evening Relaxation: Sunset and Serenity

As the sun begins to set, the skies clear up, offering a perfect backdrop for a relaxing evening. Treasure Beach is known for its stunning sunsets, and there’s no better way to end your day than by watching the sun dip below the horizon. Find a cozy spot on the beach, perhaps with a refreshing drink in hand, and let the gentle sound of the waves lull you into a state of tranquility.

For those looking to continue their exploration, the Black River Safari offers a unique opportunity to cruise along Jamaica’s longest navigable river. Learn about the local wildlife and the history of the communities along the riverbanks. As one reviewer mentioned on January 9, 2023:

Great experience - It’s a great tour. Depending on where you leave from to start the tour, it’s a long ride. We left from Mobay. If that’s your pickup, take snacks. It’s a full day so don’t plan on doing anything else. The Appleton tour is really cool. If you are sensitive to strong smells, take a mask with you. It was hot the day I went and I couldn’t handle it. But I powered through.

Whether you’re chasing waterfalls, savoring rum, or simply soaking in the island vibes, Treasure Beach offers a weekend of unforgettable experiences. Pack your sunscreen, grab your sense of adventure, and get ready to explore the natural and cultural delights of this Jamaican gem.
