Soar Over and Climb Dunn's River Falls: Falls Flyer Zipline from Kingston
Combine a high‑flying zipline with a hands‑on climb up Dunn’s River Falls on a full‑day adventure from Kingston. Expect jungle bridges, travertine terraces that tumble into the Caribbean, and practical tips to make the most of a 6–7 hour tour.
The Experience
Before You Go
Wear secure water shoes
Choose closed, well‑gripping water shoes or sandals with straps — the climb uses wet limestone and traction matters.
Swimwear under quick‑dry layers
Wear your swimsuit beneath shorts and a lightweight top so you can move between zipline and falls without changing.
Protect from sun and rain
Bring reef‑safe sunscreen and a lightweight rain shell — showers can be brief but intense, especially in the wet season.
Know the limits
Maximum weight is around 265 lbs and the tour isn’t recommended for pregnant travelers or people with spinal injuries; follow guide instructions.
Local Knowledge
Hidden Gems
- •Konoko Falls & Park — a quieter botanical site with historical exhibits and coastal views
- •Shaw Park Gardens above Ocho Rios — great for panoramic photos away from the main tourist flow
Wildlife
- •Green iguanas
- •Hummingbirds and small shorebirds such as herons
Conservation Note
The park manages visitor flow to limit erosion of the limestone terraces — avoid soaps or detergents in the water, follow guide routes, and pack out all trash.
Dunn’s River’s stepped terraces are travertine formations that funnel directly into the Caribbean; the falls and surrounding land shifted from plantation use to protected parkland as tourism grew in the 20th century.
