You step off the minivan and hear water before you see it: the falls calling across a ribbon of green. Dunn’s River pushes forward in terraces, cool fingers of water dragging at your sandals and daring you to climb. On a small-group tour from Negril, the approach blends coastal highway views with the sudden intimacy of a coastal waterfall that tumbles to the Caribbean.

Wear closed water shoes
Grip matters on limestone terraces—choose shoes with a solid sole and good tread to prevent slips.
Bring a waterproof bag
Protect phones and wallets—use a small dry bag or ziplock to keep valuables dry while climbing.
Start early
Arrive at the park in the morning to avoid peak crowds and stronger midday sun on the rocks.
Follow the guide’s route
Local guides know safer lines and weak spots; stay with the group for a smoother climb and safer photos.
Sturdy water shoes
Provide traction and protect feet on slippery limestone steps.
Quick-dry swimsuit and shorts
Comfortable for climbing and swimming in the pools between cascades.
Small dry bag or waterproof pouch
Keeps phone, wallet and spare clothes dry while on the falls.
Light quick-dry towel
Useful for the ride back; parks sometimes have rentals but a towel speeds drying.
