You step off the minivan into humid air scented with earth and salt, the rainforest humming behind you and the ocean rumbling ahead. The Blue Hole’s pools glint a tropical blue beneath broad-leaf shade; vines hang like ropes daring you to swing. Later the steady roar of Dunn’s River Falls guides the route up slick limestone terraces toward the sea — a human chain of climbers threading through cascading water.
