More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step out of the van as the coastline opens: salt wind pushes at your face and the jungle ahead hums. The first stop is Dunn’s River Falls — a tiered cascade of limestone that pursues the sea, water tugging at your ankles as you pick foot-holds up the wet face. After two hours of guided scrambling and short swims, the motor of the van takes you inland to Blue Hole, where a series of cobalt pools and hidden plunge points hide beneath a green vault.
