Waterfalls & Rivers
Reach Falls
One of the more exquisitely beautiful waterfalls in Jamaica.
Located 15 miles into the hills it has a large swimming
hole and lush vegetation
Somerset Falls
Located 10 minutes drive west of Port Antonio ( 40 minutes
from Long Bay). This is a cool oasis with pretty gardens
and picnic tables. The water falls from high up through
a hole onto a rock far below. You can swim and dive in the
pools.
Bath Fountain
About 45 minutes drive into the hills of neighboring St
Thomas, this natural mineral Hot spring is well worth a
visit. Either take a healing bath in the hotel or walk along
the river and experience the hot water directly from the
rocks. The water is rich in minerals and has many healing
properties.

surf boards can be rented there or in Long Bay. Surfing
lessons are available at both locations.

The Rio Grande river is a beautiful place to spend the day.
Bamboo rafts take you through the lush valley. Approx. 45
minutes drive west of Long Bay.
