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.
