Ocho Rios Shore Excursion: Dunn's River Falls

When your cruise ship pulls into Ocho Rios, take a shore excursion to nearby Dunn’s River Falls, one of Jamaica’s most popular natural attractions. Climb up the naturally formed terraces of the waterfall, if you wish, and swim in the natural pools formed by the river. Or just hang out on the deck at the bottom of the falls to relax and watch your family. You’ll also enjoy a traditional Jamaican lunch at a local restaurant. Round-trip transport from the cruise port is included.

Upon your cruise’s arrival in Ocho Rios, meet your local guide at the port and board your coach or minibus (depending on total group size) for your shore excursion to Dunn’s River Falls, just about 2 miles (3.2 km) west of Ocho Rios on Jamaica’s northern coast.

One of Jamaica’s most beloved natural attractions, Dunn’s River Falls has been featured in movies like Cocktail and Dr No and is known for its lush setting just off the beach. Often called a living phenomenon because it’s continuously rebuilt from minerals in the river, Dunn’s River Falls is one of the world’s only waterfalls that empties directly into the ocean.

When you arrive, listen to a quick introduction from your guide, and then you’re free to enjoy the falls however you wish. Put on non-slip water shoes (available to rent if you don’t have your own) to climb up the 600-foot (180-meter) terraced falls, carefully walking up the ‘steps’ formed by the naturally chiseled rocks. Take breaks along the way to swim in the small lagoons formed on the different levels, and when you reach the top, you’ll be rewarded with a nice view.

If you prefer to just relax, you can hang out on the deck to admire the falls, or go swimming in the natural lagoon at the bottom. When your free time comes to an end, head with your guide to a nearby restaurant for a 1-hour lunch break. Refuel with a traditional Jamaican jerk meal, and relax over a beer or rum cocktail, if you wish (lunch is included; alcoholic beverages are at your own expense).

When lunch is over, head back to the Ocho Rios port to re-board your cruise ship.
