The air smells of wet limestone and sea salt as you step onto the first ledge of Dunn's River — a tiered cascade that pushes itself toward the Caribbean. Guides call out handholds; water tugs at your ankles and dares you to keep moving. After the organized climb, jungle trails lead inland to the Blue Hole where rope swings and natural platforms offer sharper, freer drops into cool pools.
