Dunn's River Falls Zipline, Blue Hole & White River Tubing Day Trip from Montego Bay
A full-day circuit from Montego Bay that pairs the terraced climb of Dunn’s River Falls with the emerald Blue Hole and lazy White River tubing. Expect zip-lines, rope swings, cliff jumps and a physically active day guided by local experts.
The Experience
Before You Go
Wear secure water shoes
Grippy, closed-toe water shoes make climbing the falls and hopping between wet rocks much safer than flip-flops.
Use reef‑safe sunscreen
Oils and chemicals wash into freshwater pools—choose biodegradable sunscreen to protect the rivers and coral near the coast.
Bring a dry bag and ID
Keep phones, cash, and travel documents dry while on the falls, tubing, and zip lines.
Be honest about fitness
This tour requires climbing, swimming, and agility—if you have back or heart issues skip the more strenuous elements.
Local Knowledge
Hidden Gems
- •Walk the upper terraces early to avoid crowds and hear the falls more clearly
- •Explore small roadside jerk shacks and craft stalls just outside the main park for local flavors and souvenirs
Wildlife
- •Jamaican streamertail (the national hummingbird)
- •Green iguana sunning on rocks or trees
Conservation Note
Operators and parks encourage reef‑safe sunscreen, minimal litter, and staying on marked routes to protect fragile limestone formations and freshwater habitats.
Dunn’s River and nearby waterways formed over limestone travertine deposits; the falls are one of the few that empty directly into the sea and the area has shifted from plantation-era agriculture to tourism over the last century.

Common Questions
How long is the tour and how much time is spent at each stop?
The full experience is typically 6–7 hours from Montego Bay with roughly 1.5–2 hours at Dunn’s River Falls, about an hour at the Blue Hole, and time on the White River for tubing; transit fills the balance.
Is this suitable for children or less fit travelers?
Young children and those with limited mobility may struggle—guides often allow modifications, but activities like climbing the falls, cliff jumps and extended tubing require good mobility and stamina.
Are safety measures and equipment provided for ziplining and rafting?
Yes—standard safety gear (harnesses, helmets, life vests) and a professional guide are provided; guides brief on safety protocols before each activity.
What should I bring and can I store belongings?
Bring water shoes, swimwear, biodegradable sunscreen, and a dry bag. Storage varies by operator—small lockers or supervised bags may be available but keep valuables minimal.
