Discover the Dunn's River Falls

Dunn’s River Falls is a terraced waterfall near Ocho Rios in St. Ann, on Jamaica’s north coast. Water flows over limestone cascades and through natural pools before reaching the Caribbean Sea. The surrounding park includes gardens, viewing areas and a beach, giving visitors options beyond climbing the falls.

Climbing the falls

Visitors can climb the cascades, moving upstream over rock terraces with water flowing around them. Guides are available at the attraction to assist climbers along the route. Natural pools form part of the waterfall landscape, with tropical vegetation surrounding the falls.

The climb involves walking through moving water and over rocks that can be slippery. The attraction recommends water shoes or other footwear with good traction. Swimwear, a towel and a change of clothes are useful for visitors planning to get wet. Locker rentals and changing rooms are available on the property.

Visiting without climbing

Climbing is optional. Visitors who prefer to stay out of the falls can watch from designated viewing areas, explore the gardens or spend time on the beach where the river meets the sea. The craft market offers another activity away from the water.
