Dunn's River Falls, Jamaica
If you have time for only one day trip while you're in Jamaica, you
must absolutely visit Dunn's River Falls! Jamaicans say this is the
place where heaven spills into the sea, and where the fountain of
youth emerges.
Dunn's River Falls is just a couple of miles west of Ocho Rios, which is
on the northeast coast. There is an admittance charge of $10 per adult, and
$8 per child. There's an additional charge if you wish to rent a locker
or purchase refreshments.
Bring your swimsuit and some good water shoes, as you'll be drenched long
before you reach the top. A waterproof camera will capture your memories
of this trip, and the guides will be happy to snap pictures for you.
So what is Dunn's River Falls? It's a 600-foot waterfall that empties in
the sea. You'll first walk down a long pathway with lots of steps to get
to the bottom. From there, you'll hold hands to form a human chain, and
you'll climb inside the waterfall back to the top. Experienced guides
lead the way, ensuring you'll make it to the top safely.

We walked the falls and had the time of our lives. The guides were
friendly and took many pictures on our cameras for us. Overall,
exhausting ,but tremendous experience where we met another fellow
traveler with whom we have become friends. Be sure to be ready
to get wet and frolic in very cold water.
