You step off the air‑conditioned shuttle and the salt‑warm breeze pushes the shoreline toward you; sand compacts under the horse’s hooves as palms lean out to watch. The day unfolds in staccato scenes: a shoreline canter, a forested track, then white water laughing over stone as you approach Dunn’s River Falls. The river seems to dare you up the terrace—cool, heavy, insistently moving.
