Answered by maria arnold , Montego Bay, Jamaica
yes you can
Answered by Yanique ameir , Kingston, Jamaica
Dunns River Falls is located in Ocho Rios and not Montego Bay. It is better to have a guide climb the falls with you instead of doing it alone although it can be done. this is advised as they know the places to walk in order to climb the falls, we must remember the falls is running water on rocks at all time so the places we put our foot can sometimes get slippery which is not safe for us but with a tour guide he/she will know where is the best places to walk and will also assist if having problems climbing up.

It has been done by those who are very skilled in climbing but I would suggest you always climb with a guide or things can happen to you and no one will know until it is too late.
Answered by Robert Walker , Oracabessa, Jamaica
Yes it can be done. But i would advise you that it would be more better doing it with a guide as there are some slippery places there.
