The day begins with the sound of water calling — a steady, cool roar that finds you before you see it. At Dunn’s River Falls the cascade pushes at your feet and dares you to climb: wet rock rungs, foamy pockets and bright pools that catch the sun. Later the Blue Hole’s turquoise sink offers quieter water and cliff edges that tempt a leap, while the Luminous Lagoon waits after dusk, the surface suddenly alive with electric-blue pinpricks when you move.
