A Perfect Day of Waterfalls, Rainforest, and Authentic Jamaican Flavors
Just outside of Ocho Rios, you’ll find the stunning Dunn’s River Falls, one of Jamaica’s top must-see attractions. This 600-foot-long waterfall, rising 155 feet high, is a series of natural terraced steps that flow directly into the Caribbean Sea. It’s one of the few waterfalls in the world that empty into the ocean, making it a unique and refreshing experience.
Your adventure begins with a scenic ride along Jamaica’s north coast to the falls. Upon arrival, experienced local guides will be available to assist as you climb the falls, or you can explore at your own pace. If you’d prefer to stay dry, there are stairs alongside the falls to enjoy the beautiful views. Along the way, you can take a break to relax in the cool lagoons or just soak in the surrounding rainforest air.
After experiencing the beauty of Dunn’s River Falls, it’s time for an adventure through the tropical wonderland of Fern Gully. This two-mile stretch of dense rainforest is known for its towering ferns, vibrant plant life, and cascading waterfalls. The gully’s natural beauty and cool atmosphere will transport you to a lush, green paradise.
On your way through Fern Gully, take a moment to shop from local craft vendors and grab a unique souvenir. Then, enjoy an authentic Jamaican meal at Scotches, where you can indulge in flavorful jerk chicken or pork before returning to your cruise ship or resort.
