Falls Flyer Zipline + Dunn's River Falls Adventure Tour from Falmouth, Jamaica
Combine a high-flying zipline run with a hands-on climb up Dunn's River Falls on a full-day tour from Falmouth. Expect guided zipline crossings, supervised waterfall scrambling, and round-trip transfers in air-conditioned vehicles.
The Experience
Before You Go
Wear water shoes
Closed-toe water shoes with good tread make both the zipline platforms and slippery limestone steps much safer.
Observe limits
Maximum weight is typically 265 lbs and minimum age about 6; don't attempt if pregnant or with spinal injuries.
Protect electronics
Use a small waterproof case or dry bag — cameras and phones will get splashed during the climb.
Timing matters
Early pickups avoid mid-day crowds at the falls and reduce time spent in direct sun on the return trip.

Conservation Note
Park fees help maintain trails and safety; visitors are encouraged to use reef-safe sunscreen, avoid disturbing vegetation, and follow guide instructions to limit erosion and protect the travertine formations.
Dunn's River Falls is a living travertine cascade formed where mineral-rich water deposits limestone terraces; the river and nearby settlements have long histories tied to fishing and colonial trade routes.
