The day opens on a warm Jamaican morning as a private, air-conditioned vehicle slides away from Runaway Bay toward the roar of water and jungle. Palms blur past and the coast widens into the bay at Ocho Rios; soon the falls announce themselves with a white ribbon of motion where river meets sea. You’ll clip into harnesses, hear a short safety briefing, then launch across garden treetops and suspended bridges that run directly over the cascading terraces — the current below daring you to climb it next.

History
Dunn's River Falls is notable for its travertine terraces and is one of the few waterfalls that reaches the sea; it has been a major visitor attraction in St. Ann for decades.
Conservation
The park manages visitor flow to protect fragile limestone formations — avoid soaps, don’t remove rocks, and follow guide instructions to minimize erosion and disturbance.
Reserve your spot on the Falls Flyer Zipline and Dunn's River Falls Adventure Tour from Runaway Bay today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Wear dedicated water shoes
Choose shoes with good grip and closed toes — the falls’ limestone is slippery and regular sandals won’t hold up.
Swimsuit under clothes
Wear your swimsuit beneath quick-dry layers so you can move between zipline and waterfall without changing.
Waterproof your tech
Bring a waterproof phone case or dry bag — camera phones get great shots but won’t survive the spray without protection.
Bring small cash for tips and vendors
Guides often appreciate tips and there are small craft and snack stalls near the park entrance.
Water shoes or sport sandals
Provide grip on limestone and protection from sharp rock and debris.
