I had planned a day trip from Ochi to Port Antonio.Somerset Falls was on the top of my list to visit. The huge sign guiding you to Somerset Falls is clearly visible.Once we drove in, it was a disappointment to see a closed sign. The Falls will be closed until further notice. Hoping no on will make the same mistake as I did.
We were very disappointed to have driven all the way there to find out that it was closed. We even Google it before leaving home. There was nothing online to state that it had closed down
If you want to stand under a waterfall and climb up and jump off a waterfall... this is the place to do it. If not... you get paddled up a little river, look at the waterfall (including from inside a cave, which is cool, but not that special to me). Definitely a "tourist attraction"...
Beautiful falls. You must take the boat trip underneath the falls where the guide will put you right underneath the water which pounds against your body leaving you feeling invigorated.
beautiful watterfall, unfortunatly it was dry season and i could not see that many water but my quick visit was still perfect
Visited Somerset Falls today for the first time Emancipation Day Aug 2014. A fair skinned lady at the front, with a very bad red weave glued in, seeming like she's in charge was quite rude. Bad for business!!!! Jamaica is for all (locals and foreigners) so please don't treat the public like the locals are unable to pay their way into any location and that without an accent then you wont be deserving of any respect. If not for the actual natural beauty of the falls and the vibes from the boatsmen then it would have been a waste of time.
There arent better waterfalls than the ones in Jamaica. Somerset are great. Unfortunately we went off season so not much water. But a most due activity!
the water was beautiful, took a raft thur the caves, and to the back where there was a large pool like water, coming down from the rocks we could have stayed there all day, definitely going back
Very disappointed that they were closed for renovations and without any signage or indication on the website. All there was, was a poorly visible cartridge paper on the wall with no indication as to when it will re-open.
What an amazing day. You get so much for your money pool, boat ride to the falls and rafting. I love the staff there they spoke like Jamaicans an not Americans, which was refreshing to hear. I found the members helpfully and full of information about the parish. We ate at Little Portie the food was great and reasonably price. All in all good value for money.
