About this activity

Combine Jamaica's oldest rum distillery with one of the island's most scenic waterfall systems in a single 8-hour adventure. Tour Appleton Estate's production process, then cool off at YS Falls with swimming, rope swings, and waterslide options across multiple natural pools.

Appleton Estate Rum Tour and the YS Water Falls Tour is an exciting tour package. First tour the Appleton Estate Rum Factory after which you will take a trip to YS Falls for a cool refreshing swim in the fresh river water flowing from the mountain. Rope swing, climb the falls at different levels, zipline or just relax in one of the pool.
