Swaby's Swamp Safari
Discover the beauty of the South Coast with a boat tour. Launch up Jamaica's largest navigable river and through what is Jamaica's largest wetland area, Black River Safari the Black River lower morass. The 1 1/2 hour boat tour up the Black River is well worth it. Cruise in a comfortable Safari boat past giant Red Mangrove trees with their stilt-like roots cascading from heights of over 40' down into the tranquil waters. See the rare and endangered American Crocodile in its natural habitat and view some of the 100 species of exotic birds in these unspoiled wetlands. You can also view local fisherman still catching fresh crabs in long, thin, traditional wooden canoes - in the same river as the crocodiles!

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 sandbank. 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.

10/10 driver and experience
Honestly couldn’t fault the experience and Andre (our driver). He was more than accommodating to all of our requests, made sure we were safe and having a good time, not to mention his humour, we were honestly all laughing the whole time. I would highly recommend using Andre and his services and I will absolutely be contacting him next time I’m in Jamaica to do it all again.

Great excursion
We had a wonderful time with Demar. We wanted to only go to black river and pelican bar. We decided at the last minute on the excursion so we called at 8 am and they were able to pick us up at 10 am! Demar was knowledgeable, patient and accommodating. I would recommend to anyone!

Appleton, YS fall, Floyd's Pelican Bar
OMG Demar is on point. We spent a long day with Demar. We toured Appleton Rum Estates, YS FALLS, and Floyd's Pelican Bar. Truly and amazing day. Demar kept us informed on what to expect, as well as helped us with other things to do in Negril. This is an experience not to be missed and Demar is the driver you want.

Great experience
Demar was a great host. He showed us many pints of interest along the way and gave us great information about the island. Will definitely use his services again in the future.

Why this scores 76
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
YS Falls, Black River Safari, and Floyd's Pelican Bar Day-Trip (Transportation): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Montego Bay.
How much does YS Falls, Black River Safari, and Floyd's Pelican Bar Day-Trip (Transportation) cost?
+
Prices start at $51 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 YS Falls, Black River Safari, and Floyd's Pelican Bar Day-Trip (Transportation) 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 Montego Bay is not rushed.
Is YS Falls, Black River Safari, and Floyd's Pelican Bar Day-Trip (Transportation) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 18 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 YS Falls, Black River Safari, and Floyd's Pelican Bar Day-Trip (Transportation)?
+
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, Black River Safari, and Floyd's Pelican Bar Day-Trip (Transportation) 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, Black River Safari, and Floyd's Pelican Bar Day-Trip (Transportation)?
+
Around 6 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does YS Falls, Black River Safari, and Floyd's Pelican Bar Day-Trip (Transportation) 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.
