Suggestions for all who visit Dunn's River Falls. We enjoyed the falls but here are a couple of things to keep in mind. We suggest you not take your expensive cameras if you intend to go up the falls. The guides at the falls are friendly and will offer to carry your cameras for you up the falls and hand them to you when you want to take pictures. Even though they are more sure footed that the average tourist, we saw one accidentally fall into the water with a guests camera and allthough he was very apologetic I doubt if that camera ever worked again. Take one of these inexpensive water proof cameras that you can buy on the boat ( or buy a few at your local Wal Mart store before you go ). Of course you can carry your own expensive camera with you as I did while you go up the falls. I had no problem keeping it out of the water, but had I slipped I probably would have ruined my camera. Even though I had no problem , I probably would have enjoyed my climb up the falls more if I wasn't worrying so much about my camera. Item 2: There is a large area near the falls and near the parking lot with lots of vendors. They have some wonderful things, but your tour guide will probably warn you to not stop and just go around this area all together.... or if you go through this area.... do not stop. This is a real shame, because there are items I saw that I would have loved to have looked at , but they are extremely agressive at the Dunns River falls vendor area. Such a shame. As we walked though there , they kept shoving stuff in our hands, trying to stear us into their booths etc... No problem, though if you just go around this entire area on a paved street. I am used to places where they bug you to death, but the vendor areas at Dunns River Falls is the absolute worst I have ever seen and we have been to many places in the Caribean. I still strongly suggest the Falls, just keep these couple of items in mind.
