A morning at Dunn’s River Falls begins with the wind through the canopy and the metallic hum of cables above the cascade. Travelers arrive from Montego Bay to trade resort pools for the rush of zip lines that cross the river and treetop clearings, then move from harnesses to slippery limestone steps as guides lead a climb up the falls.
