Dunn's River Falls is considered a moderatly hard or challenging excusion. There is a lot of uneven surfaces and slippery rocks. Our cruise excursion desk had a minumum age of 7 for this cruise excursion. I would also rethink this adventure if you were pregnant or had back issues because the risk of slipping is high. 2.) Have the right gear. Have water shoes for this excusion. They do sell water shoes at Dunn's River Falls for travelers who are without. Climbing up the slippery ledges warn by the rushing water helps if you have a shoe sole with some grip. You are also gonna want some cash on you. Dunn's River Falls does not take SeaPass cards. Dunn's River Falls has souvenier shops and serve Jamaican food and drink. You will also want to have some cash to tip your Jamaican waterfall guide that keeps guests having fun and safe. 1) Add the Blue Hole to your Dunn's River Falls Excursion. You are already wet and have your water shoes on. Plus you will be on an adrenaline high from the first waterfall climb, so crank the adventure up a knotch with the Blue Hole. Its another secret waterfall river in the jungle that guests climb up. But its the coming down part that is the fun. The Blue Hole has cliff jumping and tarzan rope swings into the bluest waters.
