Our day tour goes through the mountainous terrain of Jamaica's South coast. The *Appleton Estate* home of one of the oldest commercially produced *Rums* in the world, is one of the highlights of a classic Jamaica Island tour.

A short drive from Middle Quarters, nestled in lush vegetation, in the countryside is the YS Falls. The crystal clear waters as well as the naturally formed waterfalls is perfect for cooling down from the tropical heat. A wide variety of indeginous fruits, as well as delectable Jamaican cuisines is available for purchase. Your tastebuds are sure come alive in flavours!

How Jamaica became more than just a place to us
Leon and Nigel showed us so much about the country and how everything is being rebuilt in recovery from the destruction of the hurricane on our way to Appleton Estate Rim Tour. Their stories and personal experiences gave every neighborhood on the way a life of its own.

3rd Year Using Mighten Tours and excited for Many More
This was our third time planning a trip with Nigel, and he continues to be our secret weapon for creating memorable, engaging family experiences. He goes above and beyond, putting in the effort to research, plan, and prepare every detail. I was initially concerned about organizing excursions for a multi-generational family, but Nigel connected effortlessly with every age group, ensuring each of us found something truly special during our time in Jamaica.

Nigel is the best
Nigel is the absolute best tour guide. We found him on Trip Advisor a few years ago, and it has been a game changer. Now we don't even plan our trips anymore, we just tell Nigel the general mood we're in (beach, sightseeing, activity etc) and he arranges everything. The Appleton Rum tour with him was wonderful. We can't wait to travel to Jamaica again next year, for our next adventure with the best tour guide there.

Private Paradise: A Perfect Day at Appleton Estate
I had an amazing time on this tour, thanks to our fantastic guide, Nigel! He did a great job getting us to the Appleton Estate before the crowds, so it truly felt like a private experience. The visit to the Appleton Estate was fascinating—we got to see the rum-making process from cane to glass and, of course, taste some delicious samples. I highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Jamaica!
Operator response
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re thrilled to hear you had an amazing time and that Nigel helped make your visit to the Appleton Estate special. It’s great that you enjoyed the rum-making process and the tastings! We truly appreciate your recommendation and look forward to welcoming you back to Jamaica in the future!

A beautiful and fun day!
This was a very enjoyable day out. The journey through the mountains to get to both attractions is long and scenic but worth it for the experience. The YS falls are naturally stunning with the option of swimming pools and zip line and the rum estate tour was interesting and fun.

Beautiful falls and estate
Nigel picked us up and took us to the beautiful Y’s falls. We went swimming, rope swinging in the water and after seen the Appleton estate with a tour through there. Nigel was a great driver and tour guide. You have to bring cash to get into falls and the estate so make sure you bring enough. Make sure you confirm the time you are getting picked up at the day before, reach out to Nigel if you haven’t heard anything before going to bed

Extraordinary in every way!
If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. The YS falls are amazing, more than we expected and the distillery was as interesting as entertaining. Our driver Jermaine’s service was A1+. Flawless vehicle, right on time, great conversation and most of all, helpful and understanding. He was an excellent driver in the winding roads to our destinations. Well mannered, polite and gentle are the least adjective I can use to describe his service. 200% recommended

Real Jamaica at its finest.
Had a wonderful time with our tour guy Willy. He not only drove us to our destination but shared his island with us along the way. This tour was well worth the price if you are wanting to learn about the island that you are visiting. We stopped along the way and experienced Jamaican coconuts, fish and bammy. We got some great pictures along the way. As a travel agent, I will be sharing this tour group with my clients from AAA.

The mighten tour experience
Nigel was extraordinary! We went on a tour to Appleton estate and on the way he took us to juicy patties where we had some of the best I’ve ever tasted. On the way he allowed us to take pictures of the scenery and even had us try some pepper shrimp from a spot that he recommended! After we went to pelicans bar we got to swim in the ocean have a few drinks and he captured some the most memorable moments while we were there. And finally he all had dinner at birds view restaurant. Overall amazing experience!! If you’re in Jamaica you make sure to link Nigel for the best tour experience!
