About this experience

We will start your shore excursion by picking you up directly from the Falmouth Cruise Port or your hotel lobby. Sit back and relax in our air-conditioned vehicle as we take you along the stunning north coast of Jamaica. Our knowledgeable driver/tour guide will point out interesting sights along the way, giving you insights into Jamaican history and lifestyle.

Once we reach Dunns River, your driver will help you get your tickets for entry into the falls. Enjoy a refreshing swim in the natural pools formed by the river rocks and explore the waterfalls, ranging from gentle cascades to powerful torrents. Activities at Dunns River include climbing the falls, admiring the beautiful flora and well-kept lawns, and relaxing on the beach. If you're hungry, you can choose to have lunch at a local restaurant (at your own expense). After your time at the falls, we will take you back to the Ocho Rios Cruise Ship Terminal or your hotel lobby, completing your journey where it all began.
