      This day tour of Jamaica’s South Coast begins with pickup from any hotel from Montego Bay, Negril, Grand Palladium Resort and Falmouth. During the scenic drive, you’ll hear about Jamaica's history and pass by numerous farming villages in the mountainous region. On arrival at YS Falls in St. Elizabeth Parish, it’s a 10-minute, tractor-led jitney ride through the rainforest to the seven-tiered waterfalls. Spend free time exploring the picturesque cascades and swimming in natural pools watched over by lifeguards. Swing on the Tarzan rope or head to the zipline canopy (available at an additional cost).

    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 15- 20 minutes but worth the travel.

    Wonderful

    The falls were beautiful . The pelican was cool but be careful jumping in the water beware of jellyfish I got stung . Also bring Jamaican dollars with you because the cost of food in American money is absurd $25-$35 a place opposed to 1/2 the price in Jamaican money . But what made our trip absolutely amazing was our tour driver RANDY !!!! His friendly personality and sweet and gentle and patient demeanor was superb .

    Pelican Bar and Ys Falls Private Tour: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Pelican Bar and Ys Falls Private Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $179 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Lucea usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Pelican Bar and Ys Falls Private 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 Lucea is not rushed.

    Is Pelican Bar and Ys Falls Private Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Lucea, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Pelican Bar and Ys Falls 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 Pelican Bar and Ys Falls Private 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 Pelican Bar and Ys Falls Private Tour?

    +

    Around 0 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 Lucea 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 Lucea and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Pelican Bar and Ys Falls 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 Lucea 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 Lucea?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Lucea experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Private Negril Tour – Beach, Local Stops, Shopping & Rick’s Café, Jamaica - Rafting & Limestone Massage, Explore Montego Bay Jamaica to Negril Beach & Ricks Cafe Sunset. 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 Lucea?

    +

    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 Lucea?

    +

    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 Pelican Bar and Ys Falls Private Tour?

    +

    Included: Air-conditioned vehicle; All Fees and Taxes; Private Transportation; and Boat ride to bar. Not included: Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
