My second time to Jamaica in a year and I went both times to Dunn’s River Falls. Simply traveling to the falls in Ocho Rios is not that fun. Instead, going through your tour agent at the hotel and booking the Cool Runnings option is amazing. On the way to the partyboat in Ocho Rios, ask to stop at the... more

I have to say, when we first got to this attraction, I had a huge sinking feeling. From the first glance, this looks like one huge tourist trap...and it pretty much is. However, once you can accept that, it's a really great tour, and the whole climb is very fun. First tip, definitely bring your own water shoes of some... more

You don't realise when you see this attraction on TV and in magazines etc quite how dangerous it really is! I'm a really active and fit person and even I found it pretty hard going. Even with the aqua shoes on with a tread on the bottom, some of the rocks are really very, very slippery and trecherous so be... more

While on a cruise of the Caribbean we stopped in Jamaica and my friend and I went to Dunn's River Falls in Ocho Rios with a tour group. We did not plan to climb the Falls, but took our bathing suits with us. We walked down the winding staircase alongside the Falls and viewed the falls from several platforms that... more

It is supposed to be the top attraction in Jamaica....only due to it's proximity to the Cruise Ship Dock, not due to the enjoyment. Its a waste of time....waterfalls maybe not man-made but definitely altered by man to make a safe, easy trip. Very crowded, you spend practically all your time either waiting in line or posing for the video... more

We visited Dunn River Falls the beginning of June and were not disappointed. We did this in combination with a trip to Dolphin Cove through Freedom of the Seas. The falls were beautiful and amazing if a bit rushed through on our tour. Once you arrive you are divided into groups and assigned a guide to climb the falls. Basically... more

We both loved this. You get to go from the bottom all the way to the top of the falls. There are some breathtaking pictures to take there. Also the guys that take you to the top take video of you so that was something neat to get. It shows you the whole falls with some Jamaican music in the... more

if say your cruise ship ports in Ochos Rios, or in some other capacity you find yourself there, you must go to Dunn's river Falls and climb the waterfalls. It wouldn't hurt to have a waterproof camera as it is picturesque and quite wet. more

This excursion was wonderful! It's something that most people should experience when visiting Jamaica. As you ascend the falls, a human chain is formed for support, and staff members record your entire climb and take pictures along the way. My suggestion is to bring a water resistant camera or buy a water resistant pack to hold your camera (which we... more

I literally just got back from Jamaica today and the Falls my one day excursion off the Grand Ledo Braco resort I was staying at. There were 5 of us and we just could not get a consistent heads up what to do, bring, wear etc. Here's my suggestion even though they give options. I'd advise you wear your own... more
