A hidden gem, Reach Falls are among Jamaica’s prettiest and most peaceful falls. They lie tucked in the Montane Forest of the John Crow Mountain Range, near Port Antonio. A gentle hike through tropical rain forest takes you to the top of the falls where a lifeguard patrols.

You can stand under the streaming cascades, explore underwater caves, and swim in the fern-fringed waters surrounded by rainforest – more than 20 different species of ferns grow in this emerald forest. Keep an eye out, too, for some of the many species of birds here, including yellow-billed parrots. It’s also a good idea to bring water shoes.
