Dunn's River Falls & Blue Hole combo from Montego Bay

Jump, hike, swim and climb through two of Jamaica's most dramatic waterfalls in a single day

A full-day activity from Montego Bay combining two waterfall sites: Blue Hole, where you jump from a low platform and swing on rope into clear river water before hiking to a hidden falls, and Dunn's River Falls, where you climb the natural cascading tiers that flow directly into the sea. An English-speaking guide leads the group, and the day includes an air-conditioned vehicle, all safety equipment and lunch at a local jerk centre.

The experience

The day starts with a drive along the coast to Ocho Rios, where your guide shares details about Jamaica as you travel. At Blue Hole, you'll jump from the low platform, use the rope swing to drop into the water, and swim in the clear river pool. From there, a hike through the rainforest takes you to a secret waterfall tucked deeper into the forest: the kind of spot most visitors never find on their own.

After lunch at a local Jamaican jerk centre, you move to Dunn's River Falls, the site most people come to Jamaica to see. The waterfall cascades in natural tiers directly into the Caribbean Sea, and climbing it is the main event: you'll work your way up through the flowing water, with water rushing over you the entire way. The climb is the physical core of the day, and it's why the operator includes all necessary safety equipment and requires water shoes with covered toes and heels.

Eight hours total means you're in motion most of the day, but the stops themselves (the jump at Blue Hole, the rainforest hike, the jerk lunch, the climb at Dunn's River) are what fill the time. An air-conditioned vehicle handles the driving between sites. Pickup from your hotel is included in the standard option. If you're staying at Grand Palladium Hotel or its immediate surroundings, a per-person surcharge applies at checkout.

Is this one for you?The eight-hour commitment and the climbing at Dunn's River Falls suit someone who wants to be active and in the water most of the day, not someone looking for a quick stop or a mostly-observational tour. Bring water shoes and a towel, and plan to get wet.

Top questions

Can children come?

Yes. Ticket types: Youth (3 to 17 years); Infant (under 3): free.

What happens if it rains?

It may be canceled due to bad weather. If that happens, you're offered another date or a refund. Free cancellation up to 24 h before the start.

What exactly do you do at Blue Hole?

Blue Hole is a natural pool fed by a river in the rainforest. You jump from a low platform into the water, swing on a rope suspended above the pool, and swim in the clear river water before hiking deeper into the forest to reach a hidden waterfall.

How hard is the climb up Dunn's River Falls?

Dunn's River Falls flows in natural cascading tiers from the rainforest down to the sea, and climbing it means working your way up through the flowing water. The operator states the activity suits all physical fitness levels, though you'll be climbing against water pressure and need water shoes with covered toes and heels.

Is lunch included in the price?

Lunch is not included. You'll eat at a local Jamaican jerk centre during the day, and you'll pay for your meal there separately.

How long does the whole day take?

The full activity runs eight hours from pickup to return, including drive time between Montego Bay and the two waterfall sites, the time spent at each location, and the lunch stop.

What do I need to bring or wear?

You'll need to bring towels and water shoes. Heels and open-toed shoes won't work because your toes and heels must be covered for safety. The operator provides all necessary safety equipment, and an air-conditioned vehicle handles transport between sites.
