About
Enjoy the hike upstream through lush vegetation to Reach Falls, where you can cool off in the crystal-clear pool at the waterfall’s base and explore the caves behind the cascades. There are restrooms and changing facilities, but no restaurants—grab lunch from one of the nearby villages. You can book a day tour that makes the whole experience a breeze. However, if you’re making your own way to the falls, you’ll have to decide between the official entrance or getting an unofficial guide. Going the local route offers a quieter and less crowded experience, but you won’t be able to access the tallest waterfall and main pool. – Tripadvisor

Amazing series of pools and falls!
Aug 2022
The communal pool at the base of the falls is well worth it, but the guided hike up the falls to swim in a series of crystal clear pools is otherworldly. As is the "rabbit hole" cave you can swim through. Highly recommended and totally reasonable entrance fee

The tour of the falls! The falls is beautiful and I must give special kudos to Omar who took me on tour of the entire falls and helped take pictures. He was friendly, very knowledgeable and made me feel welcome. Will definitely be back!

Best Waterfall Park We’ve Been to Yet
Jan 2020 • Couples
We used a private guide and I don’t know if we could have done it with out them. It had rained before we went and the rocks were slippery so we fell quite a bit. The Rabbit Hole didn’t have water cascading down from all sides. Thus you can see the bottom and where you’ll be jumping. I thought it took away from the mystique. The cave was cool and having the option to have to swim underneath to get out was nice. We’ve been to the Blue Hole (Ochos Rios), Dunn Rivers Falls, & Mayfield Falls preciously. Reach was the most strenuous but also the most fun in our opinion. This was the first time I’ve seen a waterfall you could jump off of. I’ve seen the guides jump off a waterfall at the Blue Hole but it was not something I could of done (they can jump further than most). Blue Hole is the only place that comes close to Reach Falls. The Blue Hole does have multiple rope swings while Reach doesn’t. The Blue Hole and Dunn Rivers are very popular and thus more crowded, if that matters to you. At Dunn Rivers you have to hold hands with strangers as you go up the falls. There are subtle differences between them. The price is about the same at most of them.

Magical
Jan 2020
OMG, this place exceeded my expectations. The journey there was fun, the road isn't has damaged as most roads I am use to with excursions. Then on arrival it just takes your breath away. The water is amazing......... make you just want to stay in there all day. I say, plan to spend the day there, get lunch there (I can't comment of the food, I didn't purchase anything) or just bring your own, have a picnic because the environment is welcoming and amazing. Nice place to hang out with the entire family or just as a couple or single. It will still just be amazing. The entry fee is fair and they have parking space. Go relax and enjoy this beauty.

So beautiful, I wish I hadn't had to keep my eyes on my feet the whole way!
Aug 2021
I am not athletic, and I found it very challenging to walk though the river and over stones. Even if you are in great shape, a guide is strongly advised. The water is so clear, you can't tell how deep it is and the guides know the best, least slippery, shallowest route. Bring your camera; the guide will keep it above water. This was the most beautiful spot I saw in Jamaica.

An awesome time
Feb 2023 • Friends
We found Reach Falls better than Dunns River.
It’s Morning us 4 and a guide the falls to ourselves. What a blast and so so beautiful. We have been to dunns river a few times. Reach Falls climb is more thrilling into caves under the water falls, jumping in, we had so so much fun.

Weedy was a perfect private guide
Dec 2019
Such a great experience. Came all the way alone from Drapers by route taxi. Very easy. Stopped right where you meet the guides. This day i went with Weedy. I really have to thank him for such a cool time. He is a perfect guide, knowing the best spots and caring perfectly for you. Will be back again.

Wow...this place is some kind of wonderful hidden gem. Make sure and ask one of their lifeguards to give to a tour and go to rabbit hole. So neat and my kids loved it! Make sure you have water shoes bc you have to somewhat hike and swim during tour but it’s absolutely worth it!
