Dunn’s River Falls – Ocho Rios, Jamaica

Constantly surging with frothy waters, the falls welcome guests to immerse themselves in pleasantly tepid pools. Because of its proximity to neighboring resorts, the waterfall is a prime excursion for adventurers seeking an exhilarating swimming experience that doesn’t require much transportation.
