The experience

Four to five hours covers both sites and the drive between them. You start at Dunns River Falls, where the climb takes about two hours to reach the top of the tiered waterfall and back down to the parking area. The walk is described as a little challenging but manageable for all fitness levels. After that, a 25-minute drive takes you to Blue Hole, where you spend roughly an hour and a half jumping from cliffs into the water and climbing and jumping from smaller waterfalls before heading back to your hotel or cruise ship.

The bus picks you up from your accommodation with enough space for social distancing. Hand sanitizer is applied on boarding and face masks are recommended. The vehicle has music and a microphone, and the driver and guide are trained to be educational and attentive. Bottled water and snacks are provided throughout the day, and WiFi is available on board.

An English-speaking guide leads the entire tour and handles the logistics, so you show up and move through the two attractions without arranging entry or transport separately. The private format means the group size and departure time fit your schedule, not a fixed schedule.
