It's less touristy than other famous waterfalls, has a lot of things to do:
- climb waterfall,
- jump off waterfalls and various cliffs,
- swimming in the river,
- have waterfall massage
- hike through the rainforest.
Cost: 10 USD per person and you have a free guide. It's good to give tips to a guide after the visit. ATTENTION: don't hire guides in T-shirts "Tour Guide". They will be waiting for you before you reach the waterfall and they are scammers (!). Pay entrance fee and get a free guide instead!

Absolutely stunning with the little lake at the bottom and waterfalls not only over the cliff, but also inside the cave, which is hidden behind the waterfall! On top of the waterfall you can climb through some grotto and see moss, which looks very pre-historic. If you have the chance to visit this part of the island - don't miss this site! Only 10 USD entrance fee

Man-made waterfall and dam. Looks fantastic, but rather far from any touristic spots. This place is definitely off the beaten track. Must visit if you're an adventure

Walterfall. Exclusive place. Very secluded and you have the whole park and waterfall to yourself! You can even swim in a swimming pool, which is made of river water. Apart from this -they have wonderful guides who will tell you everything about plants in Jamaica. One of the best places to visit around Ocho Rios. If you are choosing between Dunn's River and this - well, Shaw Park is definitely the winner. 10 USD entrance fee per person
