You step off the minivan into humid Caribbean air, the roar of falling water already tugging at your ears. A short walk through palms and roadside vendors brings you to a sheet of white water climbing a green staircase — Dunn’s River Falls — where the river seems to push you upward as much as you climb. Later the jungle tightens, and the Blue Hole’s cobalt pools dare you to jump; nearby a guide polishes a 50-foot bamboo raft while mangroves sway like slow arms inviting a lazy float. The day closes with hoofbeats in salt spray as horses walk into the warm shallows.
