The experience

The day starts with a pickup from your resort lobby in an air-conditioned van, then heads to Rad Venture Park where you board your own ATV. A guide gives you a safety briefing and shows you how to handle the quad bike before you ride an hour-long trail deep into the rainforest, navigating toward the river head of Dunn's River Falls. You get to wade and explore the tropical setting before riding back to the meeting point, then your driver takes you to Mahogany Beach Park.

From there you board a catamaran for the snorkeling portion. The boat cruises to a designated snorkel area where you enter the warm Caribbean sea to swim or snorkel and see the underwater landscape. Back on deck, refreshments are served as you sail past emerald hills, historic sites and waterfalls. The catamaran docks at Dunn's River Falls itself, where expert guides lead you up the impressive cascading 600-foot waterfall: a climb through scenic tropical rainforest that is the centerpiece of the afternoon. On the sail back to Mahogany Beach, an open bar and DJ create a party atmosphere to close out the day.

The tour runs about four hours total and includes hotel pickup and drop-off, bottled water throughout, a Jamaican buffet lunch at Mahogany Beach (on select options), and all fees and taxes. The minimum age is 12, and you'll need to be comfortable operating an ATV and climbing a waterfall in wet conditions.

Top questions

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 is the snorkeling like on the catamaran cruise?

The catamaran takes you to a designated snorkel area in the warm Caribbean Sea where you can swim or snorkel and see the underwater sights. You're back on the boat within the time the cruise allows, then refreshments are served as you sail past waterfalls and historic sites before reaching Dunn's River Falls.

Do I need ATV experience to ride the trail?

No. Your guide gives you a safety briefing and instruction on how to maneuver the quad bike before you set out on the one-hour rainforest trail. The ride is designed for riders of all fitness levels, and you'll have support from your guide throughout.

How difficult is climbing Dunn's River Falls?

Dunn's River Falls is a 600-foot cascade of natural pools and steps. Expert guides lead the climb, which takes you through scenic tropical rainforest. The ascent is invigorating but manageable for most people. The guide sets the pace and you move at your own speed through the water and over the rock formations.

What happens if I don't want to do all three activities?

The tour is structured as a full-day package that includes the ATV ride, catamaran cruise with snorkeling, and the waterfall climb. All three are part of the itinerary, though you can choose your level of participation in the water-based activities (snorkeling, swimming, climbing).

Is lunch included?

A Jamaican buffet lunch is served at Mahogany Beach Park before the catamaran cruise on select booking options. Bottled water and refreshments are provided throughout the day, and an open bar is available on the return sail.
