Dunn's River Falls is one of Jamaica's national treasures. Globally, it is as well known as reggae and equally stimulating. There are few places where the Arawak name "Xayamaca" - land of rivers and springs - is more apt. The Spaniards called the area "Las Chorreras", the waterfalls or springs and it is truly one of the most beautiful spots on the island.

Dunn's River Falls

Visitors can climb the falls from the beach right to the top.
There are always guides available to help visitors in climbing up the steps as they tend to be slippery, while sharing stories and other information about the falls.

You can stop on the way up and take pleasure in the cool plunge pools that are naturally formed in the river rocks. Also enjoy the waterfalls which are moderately mild in some places and extremely rough in others. When you finally reach to the top, you will feel rejuvenated and revitalized. You can also climb the falls in a human chain led by experienced Falls Guides.

Feel free to stop at the massage parlour and enjoy the soothing cascading water leading out to the sea.
For the less brave, watch the actions of the more daring individuals from the vantage point of the deck or the terrace.

A stone's throw from Ocho Rios, one of Jamaica's fastest growing resort centres, Dunn's River Falls is unique. Described as a living and growing phenomenon, it continuously regenerates itself from deposits of travertine rock, the result of precipitation of calcium carbonate from the river, as it flows over the falls. The small dome-shaped cataracts are usually associated with thermal spring activity found in limestone caves. This, combined with its location near to the sea, gives Dunn's River the distinction of being the only one of its kind in the Caribbean, if not the world.
