A warm Caribbean wind carries the spray as travelers step from an air‑conditioned van into the green corridor that leads to Dunn's River and the White River tubing put‑in. The falls themselves climb in a stacked staircase of limestone terraces, water pulling and pushing visitors up natural steps while guides steady hands and point out shallow pools to pause and swim.
