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. The boat ride is between 15- 20 minutes but worth the travel.

Black River Safari, YS Falls and Flyod's Pelican Bar -Extreme Jamaica Tours
Don't miss this tour if you want a true experience of Jamaica We stayed in Montego Bay and Black safari is about 2 hour drive. We took this private tour with Extreme Jamaica tours and it saved us lot of time as opposed to shared tour. We got all the attention from the guide and flexibility with timings YS falls, Safari tour and Pelican bar are all close to each other so it is a smart idea to cover all in one trip. Each of them was a unique experience. YS falls was less crowded and more comfortable than Blue Hole secret falls in terms of accessibility for non swimmers like us. We had a personal guide who helped us climb the falls and volunteered to take lot of pics for us. There is decent quite swimming pool area where we enjoyed nature whole swimming in pool ,scenic beauty was awesome .Don't miss rope jumping at the falls. Crocodile safari tour was great ,tour was a good experience ,safari tour guide was very informative and let us take closer look at crocodiles . Rustic boat tour to Pelican bar was a unique experience . Weather was awesome ,we were there about 4-5 ish in the bar ,had great time watching the scenic view of the water from the bar in middle of the sea. Damion did a great job as a tour guide ,loved the srvice

Black River Safari, YS Falls and Flyod's Pelican Bar -Extreme Jamaica tours experience
We took this tour with Extreme Jamaica Tours. We stayed in Montego Bay and Damion was our tour guide Our pick up time was 7:30 and as per our request Damion gave us an hour extra, we loved his hospitality. He was there with us all the way through. He engaged us with interesting conversations so that we don't get bored . He allowed us to play our favorite music ,shared his hotspot connection with us so that we could access internet. We were not prepared for water rides ,he took us to a decent souvenir store to buy water shoes. Took lot of pictures for us ,and helped us capture lot of memories . He gave us a good intro about Jamaican culture and way of living. Over all super good experience with this tour and company. We loved all 3 YS Falls, Crocodile safari tour and visit to Pelican bar . Each of them was a unique experience Ride was pretty smooth ,though roads were bumpy ,Damion managed to give us smooth ride

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Black River Safari, YS Falls and Flyod's Pelican Bar: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Montego Bay.
How much does Black River Safari, YS Falls and Flyod's Pelican Bar cost?
+
Prices start at $135 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 Black River Safari, YS Falls and Flyod's Pelican Bar take?
+
Plan for about 6 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 Black River Safari, YS Falls and Flyod's Pelican Bar worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 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 Black River Safari, YS Falls and Flyod's Pelican Bar?
+
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 Black River Safari, YS Falls and Flyod's Pelican Bar suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Black River Safari, YS Falls and Flyod's Pelican Bar?
+
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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Black River Safari, YS Falls and Flyod's Pelican Bar 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 Appleton Estate Admission Ticket & Distillery Tour with Tastings, Blue Hole and Dunn's River Falls Private Tour from Montego Bay, Montego Bay Clear Kayak Drone Photoshoot & Video. 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.
