You step out of an air-conditioned van and the humidity hits with the smell of wet limestone and sea salt. Ahead, a vertical ribbon of water runs into a blue Caribbean pocket—Dunn’s River—while inland the White River threads a narrower, faster route through hardwoods. The day moves between two elements: a hands-on scramble up terraced cascades and a lively float downstream on an inner tube.
