The Experience

Before You Go

Footwear for wet terrain

Use closed-toe sandals or lightweight hiking shoes that drain and grip wet limestone and river rock.

Respect weight limits

Horseback riders are limited to about 240 lbs and ziplines to about 285 lbs—confirm before booking to avoid last-minute cancellations.

Protect electronics

Carry a small waterproof pouch and secure straps for cameras—phones will likely get splashed during the falls and rafting.

Hydrate and pace yourself

Bring a 1–2L water bottle and plan for shade breaks between activities—the day can be hot and active.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Early-morning walk near the private garden stables—quiet coastal birding and views of St. Ann Bay
  • Short detour upstream on White River to find shallow limestone pools ideal for cooling off away from the main raft traffic

Wildlife

  • Brown pelican
  • Mangrove warbler (and other shorebirds)

Conservation Note

Visitors are encouraged to use reef-safe sunscreen, avoid littering, and follow guides’ instructions to protect fragile limestone and river habitats.

Dunn’s River has been a popular natural attraction for decades; its climbable cascades form where freshwater meets the sea on limestone, creating natural terraces.
