Jamaica · Ocho Rios
Near Ocho Rios on Jamaica’s north coast, Dunn’s River Falls is one of the island’s natural icons: a terraced cascade of roughly 180 meters that tumbles in a series of natural pools and steps directly down to a Caribbean beach.
What makes it unforgettable is that you climb it. Hand in hand in a human chain, led by experienced local guides, visitors ascend the falls themselves, pausing in cool natural pools along the way. It is a refreshing, joyful adventure that suits most ages and fitness levels.
We like to pair the climb with the surrounding gardens, a beach afternoon, and the easy, laid-back energy of Ocho Rios. Add the turquoise pools of the nearby Blue Hole and you have a quintessential day on Jamaica’s lush north coast.
