DOLPHIN SWIM and DUNN’S RIVER FALLS
Enjoy a short drive-in air-conditioned comfort to the world-famous Dunn’s River Falls where you will spend approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes climbing 600 feet of cool refreshing water as it cascades over natural limestone terraces. Guides are provided to assist you when ascending the rushing waters as it plunges directly into the pristine Caribbean Sea. After this invigorating experience you are transported to Dolphin Cove and spend approximately 3 hours. You will participate in a brief orientation and then enter the world of nature’s most fascinating creatures: The Dolphins. Get to know the animals as you interact with them in deep water. Experience the thrill of “riding” the dolphin belly to belly. Dance, sing, play and even enjoy a smile or a kiss. Visit “Little Port Royal” a replica of Jamaica’s most famous pirate “Haunt” and witness pirates roaming through town. Browse through the largest gift shops of any attraction in Jamaica, stocked with the widest range of dolphin souvenirs. Listen to the rhythms of the Caribbean music.
Please note: Guests will be required to wash their hands before and after the animal interaction. We recommend comfortable clothing, comfortable shoes, swim wear, change of clothes, towels, and sunscreen. Lockers are available for rent at both Dunn’s River Falls and Dolphin Cove. Lockers rental is at the guests own risk. Jewellery and other valuables should be left on board the ship. Guests will be required to sign a waiver which may only be available in English. Guests under the age of 18 years must have an adult to sign the waiver form. Slip-proof or water shoes should be worn since climbing the falls’ many terraced steps is both strenuous and very slippery. Water shoes are available for purchase at guests expenses during the tour. Guests wishing to climb the falls must be at least 92 cm/3 ft. in height.
Guests will not be permitted to jump from the falls. For the dolphin interaction program, guests must be at least 48 inches to participate on the dolphin swim portion of this tour. Guests 55 inches tall and under must be accompanied by a paying adult or legal guardian. Guests with a height greater than 56 inches can participate without any accompaniment. Children under 18 years of age must be accompanied by a paying adult throughout the tour and under their constant supervision at all times; in such an event, the paying adult will also be required to sign a waiver prior to departure.
Guests who are pregnant or suffer from pre-existing neck, back, heart, or respiratory problems will not be able to participate on this tour. Likewise this tour is not recommended for anyone with walking or knee problems. The falls have two entry / exit points: one at the bottom of the falls and another midway, at the whirlpool area, prior to reaching the top. If at one point, guests don’t want to continue climbing the falls, depending on where the climbing started, they may be able to exit earlier and wait for the rest of the group. There may be a queue to climb the falls.
