Reserve your spot on the Dunn's River Falls and Blue Hole Day Tour today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Water shoes only
Wear closed, treaded water shoes — flip‑flops won’t grip wet limestone and increase slip risk.
Bring a small dry bag
Keep phone, wallet and a lightweight towel in a waterproof pouch; secure it to your body during the climb.
Pace the climb
Move as a group and follow the guide’s hand‑linking technique; rest at pools to avoid overexertion.
Cash for vendors
Carry small Jamaican dollars for local snacks, tips and locker rentals — card machines can be unreliable.
Closed water shoes
Grip and toe protection for climbing the falls and moving on wet rocks.
