    2. Floyd's Pelican Bar

      Between Treasure Beach and Black River you will be taken by a fishing boat to a rustic wooden bar built on a sand bar a quarter mile out to sea. The Pelican Bar is the perfect place to sunbathing, drinking beer, swimming and eating fresh fried fish. The Pelican Bar began as local fisherman Floyd Forbes dream of a bar built out to sea, resting on stilts. Large wooden planks were transported on his fishing boat. In 2001 the bar was completed and it was named "The Pelican Bar" after the large flocks of Pelicans who rested on the sand bank. It soon became popular by locals and tourists as a place of picture perfect serenity. Watch the beautiful sunset (weather permitting) as well as the cliff diving and listen to the Reggae Band. A perfect place to sit back, relax with a cocktail in hand. Boat ride is between 30-45 minutes but worth the travel.

    Day well spent

    Thank you for an incredible experience at Appleton Estate! Our guide, Shanice, was warm, friendly and so knowledgeable! And the food in the restaurant was excellent! The rum tasting was also a fantastic experience and tasting the different varieties was definitely a learning experience. I had no idea that the tastes could be so different and our guide did a great job explaining the flavor profiles. We also decided to taste the 15 and 21 year aged rums and fell in love with both of them! We purchased the 21 year old rum and look forward to savoring it in the future!! Anyone visiting Jamaica should make it a priority to visit Appleton Estate. The Floyd's Pelican Bar is such a great place. From the boat trip over to the food, music and experience this is so well worth doing. When visit Jamaica use Jamaica Mesmerizing Tours as your transportation and guide.

    AMAZING DRIVER and EXPERIENCE for Floyd's Pelican Bar and Appleton Estate Rum Tour

    This experience was a one of a kind! They have food and drinks available for purchase. I ordered the garlic shrimp and my friend had the fried chicken. Both were very good! We also ordered "The Pelican Bar Special" which was a mango and strawberry frozen daiquiri. Delicious!! Highly recommend to wear your bathing suit under a change of clothes, I wish we did because I was itching to get into the water, but we had the Appleton Estate Rum Tour earlier that day and we were unsure if we could change. Next time, we definitely will. The Appleton Estate Rum Tour was also an amazing experience! We got to learn the entire rum making process and got to sample along the way! I don't want to spoil too much of the process :) Randy, our private driver, was very attentive and ensured we had everything we needed and gave us a history of the island and helped us learn more!

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a glowing 5-star review Pelican Bar and Appleton Estate experience!

    Appleton Estate Rum and Floyd's Pelican Bar Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Montego Bay.

    How much does Appleton Estate Rum and Floyd's Pelican Bar Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $131 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Montego Bay usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Appleton Estate Rum and Floyd's Pelican Bar Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Montego Bay is not rushed.

    Is Appleton Estate Rum and Floyd's Pelican Bar Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Montego Bay, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Appleton Estate Rum and Floyd's Pelican Bar Tour?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Appleton Estate Rum and Floyd's Pelican Bar Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Appleton Estate Rum and Floyd's Pelican Bar Tour?

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Montego Bay can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Montego Bay and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Appleton Estate Rum and Floyd's Pelican Bar Tour start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Montego Bay within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Montego Bay?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Montego Bay experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Private Montego Bay Airport Transfer to Negril, Blue Hole and Dunn's River Falls Private Tour from Montego Bay, Appleton Estate Admission Ticket & Distillery Tour with Tastings. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Montego Bay?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Montego Bay?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
