More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Start at the warm, salt-brushed mouth of Dunn’s River, where a wide, terraced cascade dares you to climb it. Guides form a human chain along the slick, travertine steps and the falls pull at your balance like a living thing; water hands you a cool, steady push as you pick your way upward. The climb finishes on a ridge with a lagoon view, the ocean a strip of blue beyond.

History
Dunn’s River and surrounding sites are on limestone shaped over millennia; the falls’ travertine terraces form continuously as mineral-rich water deposits calcium carbonate.
Conservation
High foot traffic can erode fragile travertine and disturb habitats; stick to guided routes, avoid soaps/lotions in the water and pack out trash.
