About this experience
If you love water and nature, then this is the tour for you.
At Dunns River, you will experience a breathtaking waterfall that empties into the sea with access to a white-sand beach for swimming. The waterfall is gentle enough to climb and easy enough for most people. You can travel up the falls with a local guide (recommended) or on your own. For small children, there is a splash park and play area. There are also zip lines that you can experience on top of the falls.
After the falls, we stop for a local lunch. This can include anything from jerk chicken, jerk pork, local fish, patties, fresh fruits, and more!
Next, explore the beautiful and peaceful Martha Brea river atop a thirty-foot bamboo raft. Sit back and relax as your guide steers you through a three-mile stretch down the river that lasts about one hour. Stay in the raft or enjoy a refreshing swim.
