The Experience

Before You Go

Wear closed water shoes

Sturdy water shoes protect toes and give traction on slippery travertine; flip‑flops are not recommended.

Start early

Arrive for the first wave to avoid crowds and the hottest sun—mornings mean cooler water and clearer views.

Bring a small dry bag

Keep phones, wallets and a light change of clothes dry—ziplines and falls are wet by design.

Follow guides' instructions

Guides manage rope lines and launch procedures; listening reduces injury risk and improves your photo opportunities.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Konoko Falls & Park (botanical gardens and small historic museum)
  • Fern Gully scenic drive—lush limestone gorge visible on the coastal route

Wildlife

  • Doctor Bird (Jamaican hummingbird)
  • Green iguana

Conservation Note

High visitor numbers stress fragile pools and coastal reefs—use reef‑safe sunscreen, follow marked paths, and avoid trampling vegetation to limit erosion.

Dunn's River is formed of travertine and is notable for flowing directly into the sea; the falls and surrounding St. Ann Parish have long been important to local communities and tourism development.
