Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Outstanding! If you do nothing else in Jamaica, you must do this. We did it as part of a catamaran cruise and enjoyed every minute. The walk up the waterfall is excellent - not difficult at all and very humorous!
The “DVD” package is actually a file they email you - it’s $40 and you really only get 10 minutes worth of group footage. If you can, take a GoPro or other waterproof camera and save a fortune!!
The guides do hound you for tips- they followed us to the boat and made sure we found our wallets!!!!
It’s worth it though.

Anyone coming to Jamaica has to stop by Dunn's river falls and experience this amazing adventure. The tour guide was excellent, as well as the camera man. They were extremely helpful and very funny. They provided excellent guidance, security, and safety to all of the people on the tour. The video and photo's taken along your travels was just the icing on the cake. Great time - lots of laughs and will do it again hands down

Omg we just did this amazing experience 😱😱😱😱😱 we didn’t think we would have had that much fun. Even if it was raining ….. it was magical. Our guide William and our photographer were very funny. The pictures don’t even come close to what fun it was. You go up the falls with their help.
I have a 10 and 12 years old and I was alone with them. The guide, the photographer and people in the group help us. Everyone was fantastic 🤩
We recommend that place a 173737%.

This was an amazing experience. Knowing I made it all the way up was an accomplishment. Lol! Super fun. The photographer made it exciting and fun. I suggest bringing tip everyone want tips and want you to purchase something. Too many people to tip everyone had their hand out. Otherwise I definitely recommend it.

A must do experience - but, be prepared to huff and puff on the way up. We were told by our guide to avoid any contact in the craft village - we managed to, but heard plenty of stories from those who didnt who got bullied into purchasing rubbish

They do not sale the water shoes there but you can purchase any water shoes with good grip prior to arriving to Dunn's River or outside with vendors. You might pay a little more.

We are going here next Tuesday with Montero Bay’s Sandals resort. Is there lunch there or do we need to bring lunch?

Don't be afraid to ask the tour company. They should provide you with all the information you need. Otherwise, there are places at the attraction you can eat at. You'll find amazing Jamaican food there.

Does it pay to tip the guide before you start climbing for him to take photos on your camera of you and was the video package worth buying

The guide will take photo's with your phone if requested. Since you will be asked for a tip for both the guide and the camera guy at the end of the climb I would wait until the end so you don't have to tip twice. As for the video you can purchase at the end if you don't mind picking through photos of everyone in your group it was worth the 40.00 to me.

Do you have to be able to swim to climb the falls and are there deep areas? My husband can't swim but he is 6'4'.

Not at all. The deepest sections are about 4 feet deep if you choose to go into them

Our apologies for the late response. Asking kindly if you are able to provide us with the following information.
The number on the back of the Tour Guide shirt, should you remember
- The date and time of your climb, should you remember
- The colour shirt the videographer was wearing, should you remember
- A photo of yourself for easy identification, preferably one taken at the Falls
We await your response for further action.

My boyfriend an I purchased a video of us going up the falls on Thursday and we still haven’t received it yet. It was 40 dollars. The videographer was wearing a red shirt and our guide was wearing either purple or blue. When should I expect to receive the video?
