★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 35 reviews · from $120Our pick

Travel by air-conditioned vehicle from Negril with a private guide such as Marlon or Vincente, stopping at YS Falls and taking a boat to Floyd’s Pelican Bar. Expect about 4 to 8 hours, hotel pickup, and extra fees for the falls and boat ride.

“Good experience. Our driver Vincente was kind and helpful. I do want to note that this is only transportation and nothing else however it says it includes transportation to pelican bar which it does NOT.. It provides transportation to the boat that'll take you to pelican bar. The boat will cost an extra $25 person and that will suck if your not prepared for it.”
