What you'll see and do
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.

Be aware
Nice bar, however be aware of a man taking your pics 3 for $20 says he will email them to you, but you won't get them! Didn't get long on there, drinks are expensive, photographer scam

Floyd's Pelican Bar Private Tour
We love to get off the resort and explore and that we did! Hands down, amazing experience. Our driver Kevin was early to pick us up. We let him know right off the bat that we are super chill people. My friend and I ended up having a FANTASTIC day with Kevin. He was informative but also laid back which we appreciate. Loved our time spent at Floyd's and will most definitly be using this company again and requesting Kevin. The company was very accomodating when we needed to reschedule. They were great at communicating. Can't wait to go back. Thanks Kevin! Lisa and Jamie can't wait to visit with you again
Response from the operator: Thank you for writing us a review. It has been great pleasure serving you. We are happy that you had a great time with us. We are looking forward to serve you again.

Ya Man!!! Jamaica 2020
My friends and I were so excited for this trip and we were not disappointed. The ride to the country area was about a 1 hours and 45minutes but great views. The only roads that I saw was some small winding roads but the trip was well worth it. I don’t mind driving on those roads because I got to see some parts of Jamaica that I never knew exist. The boat ride to the bar was great because Carlos made sure we were okay the entire time. While at the bar I learnt to play dominos and I just relax. Food was so amazing. Carlos had patience with us and was so understanding. We ended up using this company for the rest of the 8 days remaining on our vacation. Make sure if you book ask for Carlos he is the big man. I recommend doing this tour and with Jamaica Mesmerizing Tours.
Response from the operator: Thank you for writing us a review, we really appreciate it. It has been a pleasure serving you on your vacation.

Spectacular location
My husband and I enjoyed our trip to the countryside. I would recommend doing this tour if you want to see the real jamaica. From small winding roads to animals and local people walking by is just amazing. When we got to the boat it was an interesting boat ride. The bar had a lot of people there and I got to meet Mr. Floyd he is a fun guy. Food was amazing and you can even swim near the bar. The location itself is amazing and I think that is a great asset to the bar. We would go again.
Response from the operator: Thank you for writing us a review, we really appreciate it. It has been a pleasure serving you on your vacation.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Floyd's Pelican Bar Private Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Montego Bay.
How much does Floyd's Pelican Bar Private Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $85 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 Floyd's Pelican Bar Private Tour take?
+
Plan for about 5 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 Floyd's Pelican Bar Private Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 11 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 Floyd's Pelican Bar Private 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 Floyd's Pelican Bar Private Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Floyd's Pelican Bar Private Tour?
+
Around 4 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 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Floyd's Pelican Bar Private 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 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.
What is included in Floyd's Pelican Bar Private Tour?
+
Included: Private transportation; All Fees and Taxes; In-vehicle air conditioning; and Multiple Stops (if needed). Not included: Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Floyd's Pelican Bar Private Tour include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 2 listed pickup locations in and around Montego Bay. Be ready about 15 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Floyd's Pelican Bar Private Tour offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Floyd's Pelican Bar Private Tour?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Floyd's Pelican Bar Private Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Specialized infant seats are available. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

+
