You step off the air-conditioned van into humid air that smells of wet stone and green leaves. Water hisses ahead and the reef-fed surf at Dunn’s River falls pushes a cool spray onto your face; behind it the Blue Hole bristles with hidden pools and rope swings that dare you to jump. The rainforest hums—branches creak, a distant ATV growls through the understory—and you feel the day switch from sightseeing to hands-on terrain.
