    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.

    Great trip made excellent by our driver.

    Jamaica Mesmerizing Tours was an absolutely beautiful day spent and a great value for the experience. We got to drive across the island and all along the way, see some of the traditional communities and people. Our first destination was YS falls and I had concerns as I recently severely damaged my knee and was limited in mobility. There were stairs, but I was able to take my time and enjoy the entire experience. It was absolutely beautiful. The second experience was the Pelican Bar. What can I say? It’s a bar literally in the middle of the ocean. Everyone there went over the top to help me with my knee and I was very happy to have done it. Had a few beers, carved our names in the structure and relaxed. I can only state that our driver Renardo was the only way this happened. He drove like a professional the entire trip and really went the extra mile to make me comfortable. He is the type of young man that any business would love to have. This was a great trip, but Renardo made the difference for me to make it excellent. Ask for him and you will not be disappointed.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your review. We appreciate the time you took to write this review and that we met your expectations. At Jamaica Mesmerizing Tours take pride in the service that we provide to our guests so that they may have the best possible vacation and we are happy that you enjoyed your stay in Jamaica. Renardo speaks highly of you. Also remember once you come a guests you will leave as family. See you soon brother.

    Excellent tour and excellent driver

    We went on the tour and had a great time. The falls were not crowded this time of year and definitely worth seeing. We spent alot of time there - we zip lined - and our driver didnt give us a time limit. The pelican bar was nice to see but was a bit crowded. I would definitely recommend this tour. Our driver Carlos was excellent. He knew the areas well, was able to answer questions we had and we felt very safe. Definitely ask for Carlos when booking this tour.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for writing us a review. Safety and comfort of our guests is our main priority. We always aim to provide excellent service and we are happy that we could deliver. Looking forward to see you guys again in the future.

    YS Falls and Floyds Pelican Bar: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does YS Falls and Floyds Pelican Bar cost?

    +

    Prices start at $215 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 YS Falls and Floyds Pelican Bar 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 YS Falls and Floyds Pelican Bar 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 2 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 YS Falls and Floyds 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 YS Falls and Floyds Pelican Bar 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 YS Falls and Floyds 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 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 YS Falls and Floyds 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 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.

    +

    Included: Private transportation; Other; In-vehicle air conditioning; and Boat ride to bar. Not included: Gratuities (optional). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
