You step out of the air-conditioned van and the Caribbean heat meets you like a dare. Below, the white terraces of Dunn's River drop in steps toward the sea; above them, a cable stretches across the gorge and waits. The first run sends you out over the rushing falls and a spray that dares you to look down — the river feels alive, pushing and pulling at the air beneath your harness.

History
Dunn's River has long been a local landmark; its coastal location influenced settlement and trade patterns in colonial Jamaica, later becoming a national park and tourist attraction.
Conservation
Park management limits development near critical river channels and encourages visitors to avoid soaps or detergents in the water; stick to marked paths to reduce erosion.

Wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes
River rock and platforms can be slippery; shoes with good tread reduce the risk of slips when moving between platforms and while exploring the falls.
Bring a waterproof phone case
You’ll want photos on the zip line and at the falls — protect electronics from spray and the occasional dunk.
Hydrate and use sun protection
Midday sun on the platforms is intense; drink before you start and reapply sunscreen between runs.
Arrive early for calmer conditions
Earlier departures mean fewer people on the falls and shorter waits for successive zip runs and photo stops.
Closed-toe hiking or trail shoes
