Dunn’s River Fall 2024

Dunn’s River Falls is a famous waterfall near Ocho Rios, Jamaica.

The falls empty into the Caribbean Sea at the western end of a white-sand beach.

Climbing the waterfalls is a popular tourist activity and is often, but not exclusively, performed with the help of tour guides from the park.

There are also stairs alongside of the falls for those who do not want to get wet or are unable to manage the rocky, uneven terrain of the actual waterfall.

The falls are bordered by lush, green vegetation that shades the area from the sun and keeps the area, and climbers, cool.

The climb can be relatively hard so is often undertaken as a hand-holding human chain led by a guide to make it easier.

In 1988 the falls were used as a filming location during the Hollywood movie Cocktail Such waterfalls are described by geologists as “a living phenomenon” because they are continuously rebuilt by the sediments in spring water.

Dunn’s River Falls is one of the very few travertine waterfalls in the world that empties directly into the sea.

Dunn’s River Falls won the Caribbean’s Leading Adventure Tourist Attraction Awards.
