More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step onto damp limestone and the waterfall pulls at your palms as if the river itself wants company. Dunn’s River drops in terraces to the Caribbean, each step a shallow pool that asks you to climb, brace, and laugh as water nudges you upward. Later the mountains darken into jungle and the Blue Hole waits — an emerald sinkhole with rope swings and a 20‑foot drop that dares you to leap.
