About this hike
Nonsuch Falls, tucked away in the rural community of Nonsuch in Portland, is Jamaica's tallest waterfall at 291 feet — standing even higher than Niagara Falls. It's a hidden gem managed by a local family, offering guided hikes through lush rainforest down to the base, where natural pools await. The trek is challenging but well worth it.
Is this hike right for you?
Ask about the expected pace, steep climbs, uneven ground, water crossings and rest stops. Difficulty labels describe the route broadly; they do not replace the specific itinerary.
Arrive on time, bring water, and wear footwear suited to the terrain. Conditions can change quickly in the Jamaican hills — check the forecast the night before.
Places shown here are the numbers published by the organizer. Confirm your place directly before travelling.
