You step off the minivan into a humid pocket of rainforest where the jungle seems to lean toward the water. The Cool Blue Hole's turquoise pools sit in a series of limestone basins; a 20-foot cascade announces itself with a roar, and a Tarzan-style rope swing arcs over glassy water daring you to jump. Later, the terraces of Dunn's River Falls invite you to climb hand‑in‑hand, each ledge slick with mineral-laden spray and framed by verdant vines.
