Bring water shoes
Non‑slip water shoes make the climb at Dunn’s River far safer and more comfortable than flip‑flops.
Protect electronics
Use a waterproof case or dry bag—the falls produce a constant spray and the raft can splash unexpectedly.
Timing to avoid crowds
Aim for an early departure to beat cruise-ship arrivals and enjoy quieter pools and better photos.
Pace the climb
Follow your guide’s pace and use the human chain on steeper sections; take breaks on ledges to enjoy views.
Water shoes
Provide traction on wet limestone and protect toes on uneven steps.
Waterproof phone case or dry bag
Keeps electronics and documents dry during falls and raft sections.
Light rain jacket or quick‑dry layer
Useful for sudden squalls and post‑fall dampness.
