If you are cruising the Caribbean or enjoying a Jamaican vacation with friends and family, then what you are about to read is just for you. Right near Ocho Rios, Jamaica is Dunn’s River Falls.

Once making your way down to the bottom of the falls, you will then make your way back up the 600-foot long natural staircase. Plan accordingly, because you will get drenched in this activity. Not only is Dunn’s River Falls surrounded by gorgeous and luscious scenery, it is also a refreshing excursion as you head up the falls hand in hand.
