This premium, six‑hour outing in Falmouth pairs two of Jamaica’s best‑known water experiences: the miniature dome‑shaped cascades of Dunns River Falls, where visitors can climb the falls or linger in quiet lagoons that spill into the Caribbean, and the long‑established Martha Brae rafting run — a tranquil journey on a 30‑foot bamboo raft down a three‑mile stretch of river guided by licensed captains.

Highlights

THE LANDSCAPE

Dunns River’s Cascading Domes

Dunns River Falls is detailed as a chain of dome‑shaped, constantly flowing waterfalls totaling about 600 feet, ending where the falls meet the Caribbean — visitors may climb the falls or relax in the several lagoons and the beach at the base.

THE ROUTE

Martha Brae’s Bamboo Raft

The Martha Brae experience is a roughly one‑hour trip on a 30‑foot bamboo raft that travels a three‑mile stretch of river out of Falmouth, steered by experienced, licensed raft captains.

THE GUIDE SERVICE

Guided, Pickup Included

The tour is operated with guided support at the falls and on the river attractions; the offering includes pickup for participants and accommodates groups up to 25 people.

What the day feels like

What the day feels like

Over the course of six hours you move from the salt‑fringed finale of Dunns River Falls — where guides accompany climbers and lagoons offer quieter respite — to the slow, shaded drift of the Martha Brae on a 30‑foot bamboo raft, a complementary contrast between an active waterfall climb and a peaceful river float.
