Dunn's River Falls Tour
 
This is a must see for those in Ocho Rios. May be a little difficult for elderly traveler. But, guides help you up the falls safely.

I agree. And, how 'bout those guys taking your picture? I was shocked when my film was processed. The photos were great and they were actually of us!<BR><BR>

Dunn's River Fall is a ripoff. $10 for entrance plus $5 for wetshoe rental plus $8 for for locker rental. $23US to climb a waterfall with thousands of other people around you? It's nothing like the promotional brochure. It's so crowded with .people you can't even see the fall; imagine a beehive.<BR>

We had already been ripped off by Sandals. They included it "free" with your stay, so I did not know how much it cost. Go if it is included in your over-priced resort fee. It was not nearly as crowded when we were there.

Dunn's River Falls was in our opinion, not worth it. As someone else stated, if you are the type who enjoys holding hands with a thousand other people and climbing slippery rocks up a waterfall, have at it! We thought it was awful and bailed out half way up. It's not for the faint of heart and I wouldn't recommend it either for the elderly or the obese (neither of which I am). We didn't enjoy it because it was way too crowded and simply not fun!!!!

We loved it. We went on the last tour of the day and it wasn't very crowded. No need to rent a locker, we left our stuff on the tour bus (not an option otherwise).<BR><BR>If you are out of shape at all, skip it. The four of us went last and disconnected from the rest of the group.<BR><BR>It was an experience I'm glad I did.<BR><BR>You will get hassled by the market at the end, rush by. Also, don't forget money to tip the guys holding your camera!
