Pick up souvenirs and commodities at Ocho Rios, the Caribbean’s duty-free mecca, after a stop at a local market. Then, at Dunn’s River Falls, ascend 600 feet (183 metres) above the river to explore one of Jamaica’s national treasures.
Leave your accommodation and travel to Ocho Rios on Jamaica’s north coast. Before visiting Dunn’s River Falls, go shopping and take advantage of duty-free offers on wine, jewellery, and fragrances.
Follow your guide through the park to the falls’ basin when you arrive. Slowly stroll up the falls with other tourists, helping your neighbour while getting helped in return. Stop along the way to cool off in natural pools or get a back rub from a waterfall, and don’t forget to ask your guide to take some once-in-a-lifetime shots. A paved route brings you back down the hill to your starting place at the top of the falls, where you can spend some extra time admiring the park’s thick forest and natural splendour before heading back to your accommodation.
