Dunn's River Falls fra Ocho Rios

Definitely have to have full range of motion on all arms and legs. Be able to be steady in your feet because you will be climbing can be slippery. Expect to get wet. Soaking. Wonderful time with Marvin and O’Neil as tour guides. They knew where to lead us and literally every rock to step on along the way. O’Neil also video taped the entire video and took pics in special spots as we did the climb. Water is cool and refreshing. Amazing crew. Highly recommended!

This was a great experience, and my family loved it. We (me and my wife) last did this tour back in 2014, and it has been greatly improved since then. We had Miguel and Curtis leading us through the falls, and they did so remarkably. They made the trip both fun and memorable. Oh, and when my wife lost her phone (after being dunked) in the falls, Miguel retrieved it and saved the day.

The driver was excellent and the guide while climbing the falls was terrific. I was worried about slipping on the rocks. I was impressed that they scrub the algae from the main pathway. So if you are worried, wear good water shoes, climb carefully, and you can do it!

We reserved this excursion on Viator as cruise ship passengers in January 2026(not thru the cruise ship)so we made sure to book the early am time to get back on time. Once off the ship we headed to the entrance/exit where you had to look for the staff in the yellow shirt. We waited a good 30 mins with others as everyone was asking each other if we were in the correct place. Our group was called and we headed to the van. Getting out of the parking lot was another 20 mins or so. As we traveled the roads the guide was very informative about the land and culture. The driver also informed us that the staff at the falls will tell you tonpurchase the video of your group and pictures, to be sent to you by email. He said some people get the email some don't. Which ended up being true. A couple in our group did not get the video after they paid $40 USD. He aslo stated that if uou put down you want the video or pictures and you leave your stuff on the van, the staff will walk with you to the van to collect, and they did! Arrival at the falls, we were given the opportunity to purchase water resistant phone cases for $10 and water shoes(can remeber price). We were then asked to leave all of our belongings(wallet, passport, towels, sunglasses..etc.. in the van. Just bring yourself and your phone. What lost in the falls will stay in the falls. They do have locker rentals if needed. We had waterproof bookbag and cellphone cases so we kept our belongings with us. The staff said no one would enter the van and the driver would stay with the van. No one complained that their stuff was missing. Walking to the entrance everyone got their wristband and headed to their spot to wait our groups turn while we signed a waiver- About 20 mins. Our tour guide was excellent, wish I could member his name. Older smaller guy, in excellent shape and ability. The Falls was anything short of amazing!!! Everyone held hand in a chain going up the falls helping each other out. This was a group effort for all. The guide does take pictures for you with your camers at certain safe spots along the way and their is a videographer traveling with you. You do not need to know how to swim, you do need safe swim shoes to grip the rocks. The algae on the rocks can be very slippery. There is a point on the falls where there is a rock slide swimmers can slide down. Non swimmers take another route then come back together quickly. After the falls is where the staff will ask you to purchase pictures and the video. Then heading out there all shops along the way and then more staff with an actual printout of the picture for $10. We choose not to purchase any as we took great pictures ourselves and the tour guide took one of with our phone as well. Heading back to the cruise port the driver dropped some of us off at the shops across from the port and other still had continuation of activities scheduled with the same operator. Great! Would absolutely recommend!

My family loved this excursion. My husband has trouble with his feet so he wasn't able to participate but he was able to watch us almost the whole time from the stairs going up the side. My kids had a blast(15,13,9) and since you go up the Falls as a group, you take lots of breaks and have chances to take photos. Bring your waterproof phone case! The driver was very informative and flexible with our group and walked us all the way to the entrance.

You will get wet, falling is possible, be ready to get in a climb in the sun. You will have lots of fun. You will be working together with strangers to successful climb the falls.

Our experience with our driver Godfrey was great he was friendly and even waited for us when we took a little longer than the set pick up time from the falls would definitely be touring with these guys again for our next trip to Jamaica

Godfrey was amazing and we loved hiking the falls! I highly recommend this tour. You won’t regret it.

Really fun to do! Water temp was good. Make sure to bring your watershoes and a waterproofbag for your phone.

We were forced to buy the photo sets after the tour. Paid the $40, but never got the package afterward. What a scam!
