Up for a day trip? The adventurous visitor will want to check out this majestic waterfall, known as the Niagara of Jamaica. Scale the 600-foot limestone rock formation as water cascades past you and splashes into the ocean below. Guides lead groups carefully, with group members linking hands for the steep ascent. Small pools of water and excellent photo opportunities will greet you along the way. Afterwards, relax at the beach restaurant or browse through the artisan market.

Can't wait to go back!

What an experience - Loved it!!! Could not believe that a 65 year old woman could have done this, but I did and I would do it again. Was there in October 2009.
 
 
 
 
 
The beggars and pandhandlers have to go1]
By underdog2020u, 12/19/09
As soon as you the tourist enters through the entrance of Dunn's River Fall's. You will be instantly called out repeatedly by many pandhandlers one right after another. Most likely you will have a male pandhandler boldly walk right up to you and grab your hand. And attempt to shake it and beg & pandhandle at the same time? "Rule of thumb" When leaving Dunn's River Fall's,stay to the left to avoid walking through the shops!!!!!! Many Jamaican's will play dumb and pretend that this never happens at Dunn's River Fall's. I'm a Jamaican (my father) and Trinidadian (my mother) mixed with both cultures.

thrilling and exhilerating
By Annette, 02/20/09
My husband and I went here on our honeymoon with our Royal Caribbean Cruise. I wish we had have gone on our own instead of with their tour group because we didnt have enough time to enjoy the falls. We only had enough time to go with our guide climing the falls themselves and no time to enjoy the ocean. Our guide was very helpful. It is best to be closest to your guide. Bring a water proof camera for your guide to take photos of you. Also, bring some cash to tip your guide. We didnt and our guide made a point of telling us about it. It is very important that you bring aqua shoes because you do need them. Be prepared that if you venture into the shopping area you will be intensely harrased to purchase items even if you just want to look. More so than any other area I have traveled to.

Awesome and a little scary!
By Stupid Lamb, 11/11/08
My husband and I went on a cruise this past September and one of our shore excursions included Dunn's River Falls...we knew we would be climbing the falls but we didn't expect it to be so treacherous! Don't get me wrong...it was awesome but it can be a little scary in places! The tour guides make you form a human chain to go up the falls but it is impossible to hold hands the entire way up...if you try to you will probably end up slipping and bring down part of your chain with you! I had my husband behind me and that is a good thing because he was there to give me a booty push when I needed help up! You get to stop at a few pools along the way for a rest and a chance to look at the beautiful scenery...they have a videographer follow you up the falls and you get to mug for the camera and the video...you can buy the DVD or the VHS ath the end of the tour...we bought the DVD for $40...a little pricey but who knows if you'll ever get to experience this awesomeness again? All in all, Dunn's River Falls is an amazing experience...but if you have a hard time climbing in regular activities you might want to re-think this or if you have specific health problems like asthma or heart problems...but then again, you might be fine...we had two grandma's in their 60's or so on our tour and they did fine! It was fun and it was something that we will ALWAYS remember!

Amazing
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/17/08
I'm female and oveweight and was able to climb the Falls. If I could do it, you can too. It is gorgeous, and an excursion not to be passed up. My husband is 63 and climbed the fall without any problems. It looks scary, because of the rushing water, but it really isn't. All you have to do is take your time.

We will be back
By Jennifer, 06/21/08
There pizza is to die for. The people on the edge where a gate is there are beggers. They try to give you stuff and tell you to bring the money back. The ride to the falls wasnt bad. It was aggervation to hold hands. We had a wedding / honeymoon there. It was beautiful. I didnt have to do anything. Best part our recepition was all alone and quiet. People we meet locals and not were all so seet and respectful. The nite life is crazy.
