Zipline Canopy and Dunn's River Falls Guided Tour from Falmouth
Combine a climb up the famous Dunn's River Falls with a treetop zipline canopy and a local Ocho Rios tour. This full-day excursion from Falmouth blends geology, adrenaline and Jamaican culture into one seamless outing.
The Experience
Before You Go
Wear water shoes
The falls are slippery; secure, closed-toe water shoes will protect your feet and improve traction on the limestone.
Bring a dry change of clothes
You’ll be wet after the falls and the drive back may be uncomfortable in wet clothing—pack a towel and a change.
Mind the weight/age limits
Zipline minimum age is 6 and maximum weight is 265 lb (120 kg); check family members before booking.
Carry local cash for crafts and tips
Many craft stalls and local vendors prefer Jamaican dollars or small bills—ATMs are limited in small towns.

Conservation Note
Use reef-safe sunscreen, avoid disturbing vegetation, and take all trash with you; the fragile travertine terraces and coastal marine life benefit from low-impact visitation.
Dunn's River Falls is a coastal travertine formation frequently used in early film and long regarded as a local gathering place; nearby Ocho Rios grew from colonial port activity into a tourism hub.
