Beach Horseback Ride And Falls
Horseback Riding & Dunn’s River Falls Tour from Falmouth
Take our Dunn’s River Falls and Beach Horseback Riding Tour and two things are certain: you’ll have the time of your life, and you’ll never want to return to civilization!
Embark on your Beach Horseback Ride and Swim adventure as you’re welcomed by your driver/tour guide. Upon your arrival at the Horseback Ride facility, you’ll be greeted by friendly staff members who will warmly welcome you and ensure you’re ready for an enjoyable experience. Prior to commencing your journey, you’ll receive a safety briefing to ensure a secure and enjoyable experience. Helmets will be provided for your safety. All participants will be riding in a single file formation. Since most participants are inexperienced, the ride will proceed at a slow pace along the trail.
The horses will have the opportunity to trot briefly at certain spots along the route. Embark on a ride through the woodland areas where the Taino Indians once hunted for food. While passing through a natural wetland shaded by almond, coconut, and various other tree species, take note of the ongoing excavations being carried out by archaeologists eager to uncover the region’s rich past.
Seize this unique opportunity to swim with your horse in paradise, an experience of a lifetime. You will enjoy riding the horse for around 70 minutes during this excursion, which also includes a swim portion in the water for at least 10 minutes.
You will then drive to Dunn’s River Falls. The falls drop in a cascade (or steps) from a height of 600 feet down to sea level. They are constantly fed by beautiful, crystal-clear water running down from the nearby mountains and rainforest. It takes about 1 hour and 30 minutes to make the entire climb. There are places along the way to slide down into pools of water, take a swim and climb again. There are local “guides” at the falls who will lead you up. These guides are separate from your Falmouth port tour and will expect a gratuity when you reach the top.
Please Note: Children must be at least 6 years old. Strick weight limit of 240 pounds. General weight checks are done and anyone over 240 pounds will NOT be able to do the ride and your cost is nonrefundable. Sandals are not recommended. Big bags like backpacks are not allowed on the ride. We suggest a fanny pack or small bag that can go across your shoulder in front of you (nothing bulky), in case you would like to carry your phone/camera. Climbing the falls is not recommended to guests with back or hip/knee concerns. Pictures and video are available for purchase through an independent videographer. Please note that if you decide to purchase pictures or a video, it is at your own risk as we cannot guarantee their quality and is non-refundable. Feel free to bring your own camera to capture your own memories during the excursion.

Falmouth, a charming port town on Jamaica’s north coast, offers a delightful mix of history, culture, and natural beauty.

Visitors can explore the historic town center, where streets are lined with colorful buildings and the Falmouth Historical District provides a glimpse into the area's rich colonial past. In addition to its historical allure, Falmouth is a gateway to natural wonders. Just a short drive away is the famous Martha Brae River, where visitors can enjoy a relaxing bamboo raft ride along the lush, scenic river. This tranquil experience is perfect for those looking to connect with Jamaica’s natural beauty while learning about local flora and fauna. More details can be found at the Martha Brae River Rafting website. Falmouth also boasts a vibrant cultural scene. The town hosts the annual Trelawny Yam Festival, a celebration of local cuisine and culture, highlighting the importance of yam in Jamaican dishes.
