Spend a day hopping between two of Jamaica’s most electric waterfalls: climb the terraced Dunn’s River Falls and swim in the jungle pools of the Blue Hole and Secret Falls. This full-day combo pairs lifeguarded climbs with rainforest swims and local food stops.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the air-conditioned vehicle and the north coast air hits: warm, salty, threaded with rainforest humidity. The road from Montego Bay slides past cliffs and banana fields until Ocho Rios opens with a riot of green and sound—water talking before you see it.

History
Dunn’s River and nearby streams flow over limestone and travertine formed over thousands of years; the Saint Ann area also has Taino archaeological traces and later colonial-era plantation history.
Conservation
High foot traffic can damage travertine formations and aquatic life—use reef-safe sunscreen, avoid leaving trash, and follow guides’ route instructions to minimize erosion.
Reserve your spot on the Blue Hole/Secert falls and Dunns River Combo Tour today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Water shoes only
Wear closed, grippy water shoes—regular sandals will slip on the wet travertine and limit mobility while climbing.
Bring cash for entrances and food
Dunn’s River admission is often separate and local vendors take cash for jerk and snacks; small bills are handy.
Protect electronics
Use a small dry bag or ziplock; phone cameras get ruined fast around falls and splashing pools.
Pace your climb
Move steadily and follow the guide’s suggested human-chain technique—rest at ledges to avoid slips and fatigue.
Closed-toe water shoes
Protects feet and provides traction on wet limestone and steps.
