Dunn’s River Falls is one of Jamaica’s most famous natural attractions, located near Ocho Rios in St. Ann Parish. This stunning terraced waterfall cascades over limestone rocks for about 180 meters (600 feet) before flowing into the Caribbean Sea. The falls are unique because they are one of the few in the world that empty directly into the ocean. Visitors can climb the falls, swim in natural pools, or relax on the nearby beach.
Guided Climb: The main activity is climbing the falls with the help of an experienced guide. The climb is done in a human chain, where visitors hold hands for support.
Difficulty: The climb is moderately challenging but suitable for most ages and fitness levels. There are easier sections and more adventurous spots with small jumps into pools.
Duration: The climb takes about 45 minutes to 1.5 hours, depending on the group’s pace.
The falls feature several refreshing pools where visitors can take a break, swim, or just enjoy the cool water.
Some areas have gentle cascades that act as natural massages.
At the base of the falls is a small sandy beach where visitors can relax, sunbathe, or take a dip in the sea.
The lush tropical surroundings provide excellent photo opportunities.
Professional photographers are often on-site to capture your climb (photos can be purchased afterward).
Vendors sell local crafts, souvenirs, and Jamaican snacks like jerk chicken, fresh fruit, and coconut water.
