Tour Description
Visit the world famous Dunn’s River Falls which without a doubt is one of the most popular Tourist attractions in Ocho Rios and also one of Jamaica’s natural treasures. It definitely is a “must do” when you visit Ocho Rios. It has a truly remarkable atmosphere, within the layout there is a series of beautiful water falls, which are a great pleasure and challenge to all visitors.
This tour will be conducted by one of our Drivers/Guides who is trained by the J.T.B. (Jamaica tourist board). All our guides “AIM TO SATISFY”, they are committed to your safety and pleasure for the duration of your visit with us in port. Dunn’s River Falls is your first stop as this allows you to escape the crowds, this makes climbing the falls more enjoyable. When you arrive at the falls you will be oriented by our guides briefly before making the climb. There is a stairway adjacent to the fall that goes all the way down to the beach. At the base of the Falls on the beach is where you will start your climb of this 600 feet natural wonder, for all those of you who are adventurous. The climb is not hard, but an easily navigable fun experience.
For those who do not want to climb, but prefer a less adventurous experience, the beautiful impressive sights of the falls alone are worth it. These visitors may view the action from the adjacent stairways and the beautiful surroundings all to the sounds of gushing water on the falls. Dunn’s River Falls and park consist of a beach with water sports activities, a Craft Market, picnic areas and Food Court, but the main activity is climbing the Falls – which is a fun group activity!
The Park requires that you wear (Aquamarine) water shoes to make this wet but easily navigable climb. If you don’t bring your own they can be rented or purchased on property.
The park also provides guides to assist you with your climb. there is no charge for these guides but it’s customary to tip them. They take groups of fifteen or more persons on the climb up the Falls. They are really helpful during your climb and will help you to enjoy the experience more. However, using a falls guide is not mandatory and left up to your comfort level and confidence in making this journey. The climb to the top of the falls takes (approximately 45minutes) from the base on the beach.
If you do not want to continue your climb at some point during the journey or would like to start at a particular point on the falls, there are several points along the way of the adjoining path that you can easily access the River.
Be sure to bring your water proof camera as there will be many opportunities to take pictures of this unforgettable experience. However, if you forgot to bring your camera there are several photographers available to capture all your special moments. Dunn’s River Falls is a wonderful experience, we have taken groups who have made the climb up to three times in one visit!!
Over decades Dunn’s River Falls has offered millions of explorers an instant connection to nature but also has concessions such as Blue Mountain Coffee, hair braiding and Baskin & Robins.
Next your guide will take you through the Ocho Rios town centre, downtown, a local neighborhood and Fern Gully. Enjoy aerial views of your Cruise ship in port, the country side, aerial views of the Ocho Rios Bay and coastline as well as Jamaica’s flora and fauna. Next go for a visit of the Konoko Falls, Taino Museum & River Gardens (optional) before returning down town for some souvenir shopping.
We will give you many opportunities to take pictures so you can have special memories of this experience. You may even choose to end your tour at the Island Village Shopping Centre, this is a favorite as it’s walking distance from your cruise ship pier. Island Village has a beach, the Jimmy Buffets Margaritaville and a Harley Davidson store are right across the street. If you would like to go to the beach before returning to your cruise ship, please tell your guide and this can also be arranged. If you would like to try some local Jamaican dishes like “Jerked chicken or pork” this can be arranged as well. Our guides AIM TO SATISFY, are flexible and accommodating.
The following options are also available after your excursion:
- Enjoy some Jamaican lunch, this includes authentic spicy Jamaican Jerked Pork or Chicken along with unique side orders like Festivals and Bammy (the cost of lunch is not included in the rate).
- Visit Jimmy Buffet’s Margaritaville Sports Bar and Grill by the Beach
- Duty Free Shopping in town and or shopping by the Craft Market
We also offer private group tours!

Good Afternoon Dwight, just wanted to thank you for all of your assistance answering my questions and assisting us in booking our airport transfers and excursions in Jamaica.
Michael our driver was always on time and the perfect host. He met us at the airport and drove us through a pretty bad storm going to Ocho Rios. He was very helpful in assistance us at Blue Hole and Dunn’s River to get our tickets for entry and drive us safely back home.
I would highly recommend him and his professionalism.
We will definitely use your services on a return trip home….one love.

Hello Dwight, hope this meets you well. We had a lovely time in Ochi ☺️.
We visited Ocho Rios port as part of our cruise in August. Before our excursion, we were contacted by Dwight to ensure a smooth day. This included what to bring and gave an idea of what to expect which o really liked.
On the day, our Driver Alex was very upbeat and friendly. He talked about sights as we passed by with fun facts and also about the parishes. The overall experience was very seamless and timely as we had 2 excursions in one.
We were very satisfied with the service and will return in a heartbeat. Thank you to Dwight, Alex and the team at Karandas tours! ❤️
Bukky.

Dwight,
We had an excellent time in Jamaica! We did the Blue Hole, Secrets Falls & Dunn’s River Falls Excursion from Montego Bay.
Thanks to Dwight for assistance with booking. We got to see exactly what we wanted to see during our short stay in Jamaica (cruising on Carnival Glory). Next time I hope to be able to spend more time.
Our driver/guide Biggs was awesome! Loved that he shared local fruits with us! He was very informative and attentive. We felt safe and well looked after. Couldn’t ask for a better guide.
Thanks!

Hi Dwight,
This excursion was the highlight of our trip! Our driver Willy was great. He was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions about the island and we got to learn some Jamaican history. The guides at Blue Hole/Secret Falls were the best! They really made us feel safe and had us laughing the entire time. I don’t know if my mom would’ve done the bigger jump if it weren’t for them. The guide and photographer at Dunn’s River Falls were also excellent. Overall, we loved this excursion and feel it exceeded our expectations.
Thank you,

Hi
Thank you very much for checking in. My mom and I had a great time. Ryan was amazing and just so nice in showing us around. He made sure we had a great time and we got back to our ship on time. We asked a lot of questions about Jamaica and he was so helpful. We decided that next time we come back to Jamaica we were going to book an Airbnb. We would also love to book another tour with your company too. We really enjoy the Bob Marley Tour and he took us to his favorite restaurant he love to eat at. One day wasn’t enough for us to enjoy Jamaica so we would love to come back.
Please tell Ryan we had a great time and really appreciate him.

Hi Dwight,
We had an excellent time going to the secret falls and river tubing in Ocho Rios. Grant was an excellent guide. He was on time, friendly, and a safe driver. It was lovely chatting with him and he definitely read the vibe of the group. At the beginning of the trip, he let us know that he’d be happy to take us wherever throughout the day. One of people in our group wanted to go to an authentic Jamaican restaurant and he took us to Linda’s which was an incredible!
My boys wanted to get cornrows so while we were at the restaurant he went and found someone in town who would be willing to do it right at the restaurant. He also took us to a shop to purchase a few souvenirs. When we didn’t see anything we liked, he took us to two other stores.
Best of all, he knew when we are getting tired toward the end of the day and delivered us safely back to our hotel. If we could give him more than five stars we would.
We hope to return to Jamaica one day and will definitely look you up and recommend you to other people traveling to the area.
Best,
Julie J

Wheelchair Accessible Excursion
We booked this excursion for 5 adults and 2 of the adults are in heavy power wheelchairs. We were picked up at the port by a van that held both chairs and the other 3 passengers comfortably. Our driver was very knowledgeable and worked hard to make our day special. The wheelchair accessible area of the Falls was not available that day, so he made arrangements for us to go to the beach at the bottom of the falls and insisted on unloading the two wheelchairs so that they could enjoy the beach. It was definitely the highlight of our tour and we made memories that we will never forget.
Fun Times in Jamaica
By far one of the best excursions we have had in the Islands. The Blue Hole and Secret Falls were gorgeous. Even though I was too scared to jump I got to video all my family taking the plunge and enjoying themselves. The River Tube was more my speed and what a great time floating down the river, with a few rapids mixed in, and enjoying the beautiful lush scenery. Our tour guides were very attentive and helpful. Thank you TJ and Rafael
