More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step from shade into seawind: horses lift their heads, the surf pulls at their hooves and the beach opens like an invitation. The ride along the tropical shore is close, tactile — the horse's rhythm and the sea's push set the day's pace — before you trade sand for stone at the foot of Dunn's River Falls, where water pulls down a stepped ribbon into the Caribbean.
