Moderate fitness: comfortable standing, stepping on uneven wet surfaces, and short bursts of scrambling.
Yes—children can climb with guides and in a human chain, but supervision and water shoes are required; ask your tour operator about age recommendations.
There are locker and changing facilities at the park entrance; bring small bills for rental fees if needed.

Dunn’s River has long been a social and economic landmark; the falls flow over travertine terraces and the site has been a managed park and tourist destination for decades.
Visitors should avoid soaps or lotions in the water, stay on guided routes, and support local operators who follow park rules to minimize erosion and crowding.
