the classic, done right
Dunn's River Falls
Jamaica's most famous waterfall — roughly 180 metres (600 feet) of cool terraced cascades climbing straight up from the beach. Everyone should do it once. Doing it with a private driver who knows when the crowds thin out? That's the Mowatt way.

About this experience
Dunn's River is famous for a reason: the falls step down through cool, clear terraces you climb hand-in-hand, with pools to sit in and ledges to slide down along the way. It's fun for nearly every age and fitness level — park guides lead the climb, and there are stairs beside the falls whenever anyone wants a breather.
Because it's Jamaica's biggest attraction, timing matters. Cruise days get busy — your private schedule means Bankz can aim you at the quieter windows and have you back with time to spare.

Dunn's River questions
Is the climb hard?
Most reasonably mobile people manage it fine — guides pick the easy lines, and stairs run beside the falls so you can hop out at any point.
Can kids do it?
Yes — it's one of Jamaica's great family days. Tell us ages when booking and we'll plan the calmest route and timing.
We're on a cruise — will we make it back in time?
That's the point of going private. Bankz picks you up at the pier, watches the clock and has you back with buffer to spare.
