Ocho Rios, St. Ann
Dunn's River Falls
A 600-foot natural staircase you climb through flowing water, linked hand in hand with your group and led by park guides. It tests balance and stamina more than strength.

When to go
- Your chauffeur plans pickup around the day's cruise schedule so your climb feels relaxed and unhurried.
- Weekends are a lovely time to visit, with fewer ships in port and a lively local atmosphere.
- Morning or early afternoon arrivals give you the most space to enjoy the falls at your own pace.
The climb
- You climb in a guided group, linked in a human chain.
- The ascent takes 45 minutes to 1.5 hours depending on pace.
- Guides posted along the climb are included in your admission ticket.
- Allow roughly three hours in total, including changing and time on the beach.
What to bring
- Water shoes with solid grip are all but essential. The rocks can be slippery, and the guides scrub a safe route up.
- Water shoes are sold at the park for about $10, or less at the Ocho Rios craft market. Closed-toe styles are best.
- A waterproof phone pouch for photos on the climb.
- Lockers cost $10 USD with $3 back when you return the key. Courtney (or your private chauffeur on the day) can secure your belongings in the van, so there is no need to pay for lockers.
