Dunn's River Falls
A stepped limestone waterfall about 180 metres long near Ocho Rios, where visitors climb from the beach to the top, hand in hand, against the current.
Dunn's River Falls cascades in a series of steps from the mountain straight down to the sea. It is about 180 metres long with a drop of about 55 metres, and its travertine steps form natural staircases. Under the guidance of a guide, visitors hold hands and climb upstream from the beach against the current, a process that takes about 1–1.5 hours. It is wet and thrilling, though you can also take the wooden walkway alongside. Admission is about US$25. Climbing requires non-slip water shoes, which are available to rent on site, and you should keep your phone in a waterproof pouch. It is about 1.5–2 hours by car from Montego Bay. It is often combined with Mystic Mountain and the Blue Hole in a day trip.
