Unforgettable Jamaica: Rum & YS Falls Adventure Tour

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 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.

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!

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.

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

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.

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!

Nigel was AMAZING, He took us from riu in negril to the appleton estate and pelicans bar. he was very patient with us, even took the time along the way to take us to a few local spots like juicy patty, which have some of the best tasting patties. if you are visiting jamaica i definitely recommend you booking a tour with him for a quality group or private tour you won't be disappointed!!!!

Wonderful experience, safe ride! A bit windy but you get to see the countryside , which is so green and beautiful. Book it, you won’t be disappointed.

At first we had trouble contacting Nigel at Mighten's Tours to confirm our pick-up time two days before, and then again the day before. We wanted confirmation that the excursion was still happening, so finally the evening before we heard back and were told that pickup time would be at 8:30am, which we were not thrilled about (it didn't specify on the Viator page)... but at least we got confirmation! Plus it was needed, as it ended up being a full-day tour. We expressed right away that we wanted to be back by around 5pm, with time to freshen up before sunset. Unfortunately, on the way back from Appleton's, Nigel stopped somewhere along the way in order to get his trunk looked at (it was broken from a recent accident where he was rear-ended). We really wished that he had asked us beforehand about that stop, or better yet, waited until our tour was over before having it looked at. It felt like a detour that ended up taking us longer to get back to our resort, with a drive that's already 2 hours long...plus we were extremely tired and since lunch is not included, super hungry, so we really did not appreciate this. (It also did NOT land well to have him WhatsApp me a link to review the tour immediately after that stop had occurred, while we were still in the car and in disbelief over what had just happened.) So the tour ended on a rather sour note. Despite our request to be home by 5, we ended up being home at quarter after, in between meal times. So we had to wait over an hour still to eat, which was frustrating. Also for those expecting a quiet or peaceful ride, know that calls will be taken and made for the majority of the time. While this wasn't ideal, what was worse for me was the club music playing the whole time that was not of our taste. This made it a bit more unpleasant than it had to be, but I recognize this may not bother everyone. Otherwise, Nigel was a great tour guide who took the time to point out local plants, trees, and crops, even stopping to let us sample some local fruit like coconut and star apple, which we loved! He also took a beautiful scenic country road after YS Falls towards Appleton's, which was absolutely beautiful. YS Falls definitely exceeded our expectations, and the Appleton Estate was all that we'd hoped it be and more! One final note is that Nigel was coming from Montego Bay, so the drive for him was extra long to get us in Negril. Having known that we would have booked a tour operator out of Negril. All the above said, we still highly recommend this experience! Thank you again Nigel!
