You step off the tender into warm Caribbean air and within an hour a driver threads coastal roads toward two of Jamaica’s most physical attractions. At the Blue Hole the river dares you forward: rope swings, natural pools and limestone ledges invite jumps and short climbs. Later, Dunn’s River Falls pushes back with a cascading stair of travertine where groups link hands and pick footholds to work their way to the top.
