Let’s make it crystal clear. Fun and frolic at Dunn’s River Falls in Ocho Rios is a must-do for the entire family.

This tourist attraction, located just meters away from the town of Ocho Rios, features the iconic 600-foot waterfall, perfect for an exciting climb or a relaxing swim in the blue sea water where the Falls empties.

Most visitors to Dunn’s River Falls & Water Park try the waterfall hike first.

If you’re not a waterfall climber, enjoy the best swim in the beautiful, blue ocean or check out the crafts exhibition, bird sanctuary, and blossoming gardens.

Mommy, daddy, grandma, grandpa, and the kids are sure to be fully engrossed in the activities onsite at Dunn’s River Falls & Water Park.

What to wear – waterfall hike

In addition to your non-skid water shoes, you should dress in comfortable swimwear.

It’s best to leave all valuables (money, watches, cellphones, non-prescription eyewear, etc) in the lockers onsite or with any member of your team who isn’t taking the hike.

What to expect – waterfall hike

When you’re all strapped up and ready, a friendly guide, will escort you uphill.

During the ascend, soak in the majestic views and the calming sounds of the cascading water traveling against the rocks.

Your friendly guide will encourage you to scale the Falls hand in hand with old friends and new ones and stop occasionally to take a swim in the natural pools.

You don’t need to rush this waterfall hike. When you’ve made it to the top, spend a minute or two soaking in the gorgeous Caribbean Sea.

It’s a sight you will never forget.

The Falls rise directly from the golden sands of a beautiful beach where the crisp, cold river mingles with the warm waters of the Caribbean Sea.
