Itinerary
Admission included120 min
Visit the Appleton Estate rum distillery on this 6-hour tour from Montego Bay. Learn about this historic distillery, in business for more than 250 years in the lush Nassau Valley. With your rum expert guide, visit the aging house with its oak barrels and see the copper pot stills that give Appleton its rich flavor. Sample ten different types of Appleton rum and walk away with a mini bottle as a gift.
Black River
120 min
The Great Morass is Jamaica’s largest surviving wetland and at 125 square miles, taking a boat tour along the swamp’s main waterway is the best way to experience it. The Black River Safari in Jamaica includes a 90-minute scenic ride up and down the river with a local guide showcasing the true beauty of the island.
Explore towering mangrove trees and lush plant life, while surrounded by rare swamp animals, like the endangered American crocodile sunning alongside the banks or over 100 species of birds in their natural habitat. Look out for whistling ducks, egrets and cinnamon-colored jacanas and spot for local fishermen catching crabs on long and thin, traditional canoes.

An AWESOME Tour with an AMAZING Tour Guide
The Tour itself was wonderful. A truely BEAUTIFUL experience. What stood out was the time our tour guide, Michael Cornell Harris, spent imparting his knowledge about Jamaica along the way. I was so enlightened with his information about the plants, trees, herbs and natural resources of the area that I would love for him to conduct a tour based solely on that. My husband and I felt like family upon meeting Mr. Harris. I HIGHLY recommend any tour that he conducts. You will not be disappointed. We look forward to reconnecting with him on our return visit.
Operator response

We look forward to seeing you guys again and are happy that you choose us. Once again thanks for your positive response and for your support 🙏🏼 We hope to see you again.
