Dunns River Falls has appeared on numerous tourism posters and guides throughout the years. The falls are almost always crawling with human chains attempting to scale the rounded face.
The falls lie about two miles west of Ocho Rios. You'll know you're on the right track when you pass the hulking remained of a former bauxite shipping facility. The falls themselves lie inside a beautifully maintained park area. There should be plenty of parking. Two separate fees will be charged. One will be an entrance fee to the park another if you actually want to climb the falls or swim in the river. You may attempt to scale the falls solo or you can wait for a guide who knows the best foot holds.
The park is a maintained rainforest spotted here and there with tree ferns and orchids. Wooden pathways keep trampling feet off the plants.
A small food stand is maintained as well as a hair braiding booth. Even here there is a craft market and from my experience the higglers are just as pushy here too. Swimming, climbing, or just enjoying the view, Dunns River Falls are quite nice.
