The experience

Mayfield Falls sits in the Glenbrook area of Westmoreland, backed by the Dolphin Head Mountains. The site holds two waterfalls and 21 natural pools fed by mineral springs, surrounded by 52 types of ferns and exotic flowers, birds, butterflies and wildlife native to Jamaica. The grounds are immaculate and well-maintained, with plenty of shade from the jungle canopy. A real advantage if you're concerned about sunburn. Water here is typically calm and not powerful, so this is a gentler outing than some of Jamaica's larger cascades, but the setting feels entirely wild.

You'll spend about an hour walking through the water, moving between pools and past the two waterfalls. The stones are slippery, so water shoes are essential. They're available to rent on-site. The physical activity is rated medium, and tour guides are there to help anyone who needs it. Many non-athletic people complete the walk without trouble. Lockers are available if you want to secure your belongings while you're in the water.

Your private vehicle picks you up from your hotel in Montego Bay, Falmouth, Negril or Grand Palladium and handles the drive to the falls. The tour itself runs about 1.5 hours at the site, though the full outing takes 4 to 5 hours with travel time. Entrance to Mayfield Falls is included. Bring a camera, swimsuit, sunscreen, towel and pocket money for any extras.
