About Dunn's River Falls

Dunn's River Falls is a natural cascade in Ocho Rios, Jamaica. The waterfall drops 180 feet over a span of 600 feet. The water flows over limestone terraces straight into the Caribbean Sea.

Most visitors attempt the guided wet climb. You hold hands in a human chain to scale the slippery rocks safely. If you prefer to stay dry, wooden stairs run parallel to the water. Read about The Waterfall Climb to decide.

The surrounding park offers a white-sand beach and a splash pad for small children. You must wear closed-toe water shoes on the rocks. Check our packing guide on Packing Guide before you go.

Great excursion, Lenroy was good company and talk on the journeys. Offered to take us to souvenir shops, get local food and makes you feel comfortable. Tour guides also at Dunns River and Blue Hole are very helpful and welcoming. Jerome & Kealey
