Dunns River Falls

When doing the Falls excursion off of the ship, how do you dress? Do you need
to wear a bathing suit? Or should you wear it under your shorts? How bout the
watershoes--do you just wear them off the ship or bring them along to change?
Is there anyplace to change? I hear you get wet so there must be some kind of
changing facility?

We wore our swimsuits under our clothing and changed there. A locker
costs $5 (you pay 8 and get 3 back when you return the key) You can buy
water shoes on the boat or rent them there. We bought ours at CVS before
leaving on the cruise.

Make sure you bring a towel and a ziplock bag for your wallet.

also it would be a good idea to bring a disposable underwater camera

We took a boat to DRF, wearing our suits under shorts & shirts and were
"loaned" water shoes (blech) by the tour guide. We left everything on
the boat which was "watched".

Candy -- thinks DRF is a don't-miss attraction

We wore our bathing suite's under our shorts, left everything on the bus &
wore out wet suits back to the ship. We just wore our water shoes & didn't
bother to change. Don't take much money (just enough for t shirts & a tip
for the guide (in a zip lock). Get a underwater disposable camera.

Aqua Socks (aka water shoes) are on sale right now at most sporting good
stores. Just bought a new pair at the Sports Authority for $6 and they
have a good sole on them. I have seen them range in price up to $25. I
have one pair that have lasted me well over 10 years.

I wore a blue pair on our first formal night. Everyone thought it was a
riot! haha

Aqua socks are great to have, but I really prefer to climb the falls
in watersports sandals, like Tevas or Chacos. The first time I
climbed, my shoes got so full of silt that they became uncomfortable
(unless you like walking and climbing with sand in your shoes). With
the water sandals, there's no where for the silt to collect, so you
stay comfy. They have very grippy rubber bottoms and can be worn as
regular sandals, whereas aqua socks are really only comfortable in
water environments (like, you couldn't take a hike into the woods with
aqua socks, but I could, and do, with my Tevas.

Just my 2¢

Hi Lee, I also have the Tevas but prefer the Aqua Socks. Like anything
I think its just a matter of Preference. I would suggest anyone buying
Aqua Socks look for the ones that are made of the same material as a wet
suit. They are very comfortable and form to your foot very nicely.
They also don't allow sand to get in. Also look for a good sole. Some
of the really cheap ones ($2.99 - $5.00 reg. price) are not good a
quality. If you have a dive shop near by check them out. They usually
carry a quality product. But for climbing the falls either will do
nicely. Just a matter of personal choice.

Once again—since I notice this happens with great regularity—I have to
agree with Lee.

It's Tevas for me.
