Zipline Over Dunn's River Falls: Falls Flyer Adventure from Ocho Rios
Combine a harnessed zipline course with a guided climb up Jamaica’s famous Dunn’s River Falls on this 4–5 hour tour from Ocho Rios. Expect canopy zips, suspended jungle bridges, and wet, guided terraces that drop straight into the Caribbean.
The Experience
Before You Go
Wear secure water shoes
Closed-toe water shoes with good grip make both the zipline platforms and wet limestone terraces safer and more comfortable.
Bring a waterproof pouch
Keep your phone and small valuables dry during the falls climb and the zipline; many guests use a small dry bag or waterproof case.
Hydrate and eat light
A small meal before departure and regular hydration help you maintain energy for climbing and harnessed activity in humid heat.
Plan for a morning pickup
Flexible pick-up is offered between 8–11 AM, but earlier departures avoid crowds and the strongest sun on the rocks.

Conservation Note
The park manages visitor flow to limit erosion on the limestone terraces; follow guide instructions and avoid leaving trash to protect coastal springs and shoreline habitat.
Dunn’s River sits in St. Ann Parish and grew in popularity as a climbable waterfall; the area has long been part of Jamaica’s coastal settlement and tourism since the mid-20th century.
