This was a great trip to one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen! I’ve been on some pretty boring zip lines, but the zip line over the falls was legit. My girls (8 and 11) loved the whole thing. And the pictures of the falls absolutely don’t do them justice either. The scenery was incredible. Appleton was a lot of fun too. We learned a bunch about the process and tasted some yummy rums. I liked it so much, I brought back a 21 year rum! Our tour guide Elliott was great too. He was funny with a dry sense of humor, and he tolerated my girls better than I do. My youngest kept calling him “Chew-ka” because of the company name on his shirt (Chukka), and he rolled with it. He even had the driver stop so my little one could pee (with her pea-sized bladder.) It is a bit of a haul coming back through the winding Jamaican roads, but the driver was very safe and got us back to our resort in one piece. Would highly recommend this tour and company. And special thanks to Elliott, AKA Chew-ka, for being such a good guide and sport.misterrbs

I went to both of these places in November and we had a great day. I don't even drink but the Rum place was very informative. I decided to do the zipline at YS falls separately and I was the only one in my group that did. I LOVED IT! It looks like just one small ish zipline from the ground but actually it is 5 and one of them is MASSIVE! So fun - the two guys who were working that day were very friendly and made it even more exciting. I think their names were... Patrick and Mitchel (but I bet I got that wrong. Was definitely a P and an M name though - it was back in Nov so forgive me). Great day, great memories!Laurenmmcowen

We have just had the most amazing day with Andrae and Litman. They picked us up from the hotel and we got to see the rural Jamaica on route to the YS falls. Andrae had excellent knowledge of the areas their history and fascinating facts. We learnt so much from him and now have a better understanding of Jamaican life in general. The falls were amazing we swam in the natural spring and this was very refreshing. Our guide Charlie took us around the waterfalls and took photos for us. He's a true pro with the smart phone camera!! We also did the zip line. It was my first time but the team that took us up were fantastic Their humour and encouragement gave us no doubt that we were in safe hands. I never thought I'd manage to do it but in the end i completed the course and ziplined over the water fall 300m in total and screamed all the way down. Absolutely loved it ! Definitely recommend booking onto this activity Following this we went and had lunch at the appleton Estate. Amazing jerk chicken pork rice and peas salad and sweet potato salad. Delicious!! Complimentary cocktail and we also bought a signature cocktail afterwards and highly recommended you do this. They know how to mix a cocktail !! The tour was very informative and interactive. We tried sugar cane, molasses ,sugar water, met paz the donkey , walked through the distillery and then through the barrel storage. This was then followed by a tasting session. Michelle taught us how to check the quality and age of rum and what spices are blended into it. Truly amazing experience. I would def recommend Andrae and Litman of Chukka Tours for any trips you may want to do . Will def use these guys next time we are here !tyellison
