Original Mayfield Falls Jamaica, Pennycooke

One of the best experiences we had on our vacation!! The falls were beautiful and peaceful, tucked away in an isolated slice of the forest. Our tour guide, Dave, did a phenomenal job of taking us through the falls, while capturing stunning photos of nature and our family using my personal camera. We felt safe the whole time there, and would recommend going here over Dunn’s River Falls (we did both) if you are looking for a more personalized experience. We drove a rental car there from the north, and we STRONGLY recommend to not use the roads north of the falls because they are rugged, unpaved, and in some parts dangerous. Hire a driver for this or drive up from the south.

Literally top three favorite places to visit in Jamaica. I have visited with family and have taken Campers on tours there. Pristine beautiful no hassle service, professional tour guides an almost magical place.

Mayfield Falls About 30 km /1hour 15 from Negril at Little London through the Cockpit Country and the SugarCane fields up one of the countless Cockpit Country Mountain bump uphill. Be sure to bring good navigation with you. Sometimes it’s like…. Is this really the route. Adventurous. There are at least 3 different tour guides: The Original, Chukka and Reggae Mayfield Falls tour Chukka and Reggae are a tiny stand next to the road, these offer another part of the waterfall. It is a wonderful adventure experience. Climbing on waterfalls through the jungle. The freshwater is cool and very refreshing. It’s a wet experience, watershoes, swimminggear, underwaterhouse for the camera or phone. You can jump into deep water holes. Hide in secret places underneath the waterfall or get romantic. Our tour guide was Dave. We drove our own car, 20$ petrol and 70$ for 2 adults, 1 child. Resorts charge 120$ pp.

I had a fantastic day, our guide Shane was awesome! Very knowledgeable of the space around him. Great photographer and personality. I ordered the coconut shrimp meal for after the hike. It was 20usd and honestly I had one Bite and thought it was the best coconut shrimp I ever had, until I saw a cockroach, which freaked me out. It was pretty large so I picked it out and then saw another small one. I must say I was pretty grossed out but I figured, hey, the cook outside and were in a jungle, no big deal. However I continued sifting through it just to make sure and I actually ended up pulling out 13 cockroaches. That was enough to ruin the entire meal. Was really disappointed because the one bite did taste good, I think 1 or 2 would be normal or OK, but 13, I mean, are we adding those in for protein at this point ?

Beautiful place to walk in the forest and enjoy the water. The walk down is very quick and easy, can be done with kids. They give you a guide which is very nice. It is free but they’d expect a tip. Entrance was $20/adult and $12 /kid
