The journey begins at the pier, where eager travelers meet their tour guide and receive a ticket bracelet.

En Route to Dunn's River

As the bus winds its way to Dunn's River, take advantage of the travel time to fill out necessary forms. Remember that personal items can't be left in the mini-bus, so plan accordingly. Upon arrival at Dunn's River, another bracelet awaits, and you'll navigate through mini checkpoints before reaching the locker area. A new guide takes charge for the Dunn's part of the excursion.

Upon arrival at Dunn's River, a crucial decision awaits: to locker or not to locker? Two options are available – a small locker for $8 or a larger one for $10. While not mandatory, consider the water's depth as you climb the falls; opting for a locker ensures your belongings stay dry. If you choose the $10 locker, you'll receive a $3 refund upon returning the key and receipt, but be cautious – water and tickets don't always mix well, and refunds may be refused.



Prepare for an exhilarating climb up the 600 feet of Dunn's River Falls. Water shoes are highly recommended, and as you ascend, follow your guide's lead through the refreshing water. Capture the moments, but ensure your devices are water-resistant. The experience is both challenging and family-friendly, offering a unique perspective on the natural beauty of Jamaica. Once you conquer the falls, don't forget to retrieve your items from the locker
