Traveling through Jamaica's beautiful countryside, you will pass many historic sites and villages on the way to Dunn's River Falls -- believed to be the site of the famous Battle of Las Chorreras, fought in 1657 between the Spaniards and the English. At stake was possession of the island of Jamaica. Needless to say, the English won and the course of history was set. Today, Dunn’s River Falls can best be described as a living and growing phenomenon -- the waterfall continuously erodes and deposits travertine rock -- the result of calcium carbonate found in the river. The small dome-shaped cataracts (falls) are usually associated with thermal spring activity found in limestone caves.
Experience the thrill of climbing the waterfall, in a human chain manned by experienced guides.
Pause at the "massage parlor" and experience the soothing effects of the water as it cascades over the rocks and down to the sea.
Less adventurous folks can view the activities of the intrepid from the vantage point of the terrace or the viewing deck.
Enjoy nature’s gifts as you lose yourself in the lush tropical foliage of ferns, bamboos, ginger lilies, crotons, orchids, a variety of palms and breadfruit trees.
On the return drive to the ship, time permitting, you will stop at the Shoppes at Rose Hall where duty-free items such as watches, crystal, Italian handbags, Indian silks, Jamaican rum, liquors and liqueurs are sold.
