    Explore the South Coast with a knowledgeable guide

    Sheila and I enjoyed this tour immensely. Adrian is 'da bomb and treated us to an excellent day exploring the South Coast. YS Falls, Black River and Pelican Bar were the points of interest, all fabulous places to visit. He also took us to a great roadside Jerk Shack in St. Elizabeth where the meal was totally authentic and very tasty. You will feel very safe with Adrian as your guide and his van is newish, comfortable and stocked with water and soft drinks. He also knows the history and geography of the region and will converse about the beauty of Jamaica with passion in his eyes. I would strongly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to see the best attractions the South Coast has to offer, you will not be disappointed. Thanks again Adrian, Mike and Sheila.

    Response from the operator: Hey Mike and Sheila! Thanks for taking the time to leave a review! We are happy to hear that you had a great tour with Adrian to the South Coast! Ys Falls, Black River and Pelican bar are all amazing attractions to visit. Pair that with some Jerk Chicken and that is a great day! We look forward to your return visit ! Many blessings, Alrick & Team

    The Best Combo Tour Ever!

    Our excursion was so awesome! Our tour guide, Sedrick, was truly amazing and so accommodating. He picked us up on time and he had a cooler full of ice cold drinks to quench our thirst for the adventures ahead. We booked a private tour to Dunn River Falls and Martha Brae River. Dunn River Falls was a challenging exhilarating adventure and Martha Brae was peaceful and relaxing. I think the icing on the cake was our tour guide. He truly customized our day trip. We were able to stop for pictures and a bit of shopping. He took us to Scotchies for an authentic jerk lunch. He also gave us the real Jamaican experience by stopping for the real deal Jamaican patties and yummy pudding. We also stopped at the Chillout Spot for a drink by the water. We forgot our fall pictures in the tour vehicle, but Sedrick came back the following morning to drop them off. Jamaica is a place of natural beauty full of beautiful people. Thank you so much, tripadvisor, for hooking us up with a great tour and an awesome tour guide!

    Response from the operator: HI Genevieve Thanks for taking the time to leave such a great review! We are happy to hear that Cedric was able to provide a top quality tour for you with Dunns River and Martha Brea - yes, they are both very different but both amazing attractions to visit. Jerk chicken, patties, pudding - sounds like a great day! We are looking forward to your return visit. Many blessings Alrick & Team

    A trip to never forget

    This trip to Jamaica was for my birthday, and Andrae our tour guide went above and beyond to show us an amazing time. I not only was glad to have Andrae for this tour but also for the Private Dunn's Falls and Marth Brae River Raft. Andrae showed us the "true" Jamaican lifestyle with such amazing history and facts. I would do this trip again in a heart beat, especially with Andrae being the tour guide. Thank you Jamaican tours for not only a great birthday but an amazing trip to Jamaica!

    Response from the operator: Thanks for taking the time to leave a review! We are happy to hear that you had a memorable birthday with visiting us in Jamaica! Dunns River and Martha Brea is a great combination to see the beauty of nature along with experiencing the culture of the island. We look forward to see you again soon! Many blessings, Alrick & Team

    Perfect day!!

    Our very friendly and incredibly funny host for the day (Alrick Allen) picked us up at 8am in our resort and we spent a great day visiting Black River, YS Falls and Appleton Rum Estate. Thanks for the perfect organization! It was one of the most entertaining and informative tours that we ever did, totally recommendable!!! E & F

    Response from the operator: Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. I am glad I was able to provide you with a great day doing the South Coast tour to Black River, YS Falls and Appleton Rum Estate. Looking forward to your return visit and hopefully you will still laugh at my jokes! haha :-) Many blessings Alrick & Team

    Great Tour Guide

    I booked Alrick to do both airport transfer and a private tour. He picked my boyfriend and I up from our RIU resort in Montego Bay and took us to the YS Falls and Pelican Bar. I had actually done both of these excursions before when I stayed in Negril and booked a private tour company in Negril to do the tour and Alrick provided much better service. He really watched out for us while we were visiting the attractions and made us feel very safe. My last tour guide would just let us go off and do the tour: Alrick stayed enough out of site that you still felt like you were alone enjoying your adventure, but when you were ready to go he was there and ready. I really appreciated that. We had about a two hour drive from our resort to the first attraction but he made it very interesting by sharing interesting facts about Jamaica along the way and stopped on the way home for us to get our favorite Jamaican drinks and made sure we had everything we wanted. 100% would recommend him for great service and a fun experience!

    Response from the operator: Hey Rebecca - Thanks for leaving a review and I am glad that I was able to provide a great tour experience to Ys Falls and Pelican Bar. We do our best to ensure you have a great time on your own, but also feel that we are right there if you need us! We are looking forward to your return visit so we can show you some new amazing places! Many blessings Alrick & Team

    [PRIVATE] YS Falls, Black River, Pelican Bar - Entrance & Lunch: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does [PRIVATE] YS Falls, Black River, Pelican Bar - Entrance & Lunch cost?

    +

    Prices start at $357 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 [PRIVATE] YS Falls, Black River, Pelican Bar - Entrance & Lunch 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 [PRIVATE] YS Falls, Black River, Pelican Bar - Entrance & Lunch worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 7 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 [PRIVATE] YS Falls, Black River, Pelican Bar - Entrance & Lunch?

    +

    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 [PRIVATE] YS Falls, Black River, Pelican Bar - Entrance & Lunch 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 [PRIVATE] YS Falls, Black River, Pelican Bar - Entrance & Lunch?

    +

    Around 2 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 [PRIVATE] YS Falls, Black River, Pelican Bar - Entrance & Lunch 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.
