After visiting it for 1 hour during our western island tour we felt we needed to go back once more. We went by local bus service and made it a full day trip. Climbed to the top and back through the falls. Stopped at each tier and swam and frolicked. It was a beautiful day. Be sure to bring your... More

This is a pleasant stroll as far as the pool when the going gets tougher and the rocks can be quite slippery, If you want to swim make sure you are happy walking on stones or take suitable shoes that can get wet, It was too hot to climb all the way up but the guide also said our trainers... More

One word.....Breathtaking!!!!!! It was a nice experience for the first time and we plan to go back once we are in Tobago. We hiked to the top of the waterfall and then view was amazing. It has different levels while hiking up the waterfall where one can bathe. More

I loved the hike to the falls.. It cost only 30TT or 5US entry but is well worth it...The first part of the hike is easy and takes about 15 to 20mins..It brings you to a beautiful pool that ranges from 3feet to 15 feet of water.. If you choice to climb the fall you may...you will find great wonders... More

Had lots of other visitors when we were there as it was chill out day after the carnival. But worth a visit, we had a guide but not sure if this was needed, although he pointed out interesting plants and birds we could have missed along the path. The climb to the top of tthe falls required a reasonable level... More

I loved hiking to the waterfall, however, I didn't expect to climb so many rocks to get there. Must be in shape. More

You have to hire a guide to go up; and at first we were a little nervous. The guides are basically there to make sure you don't leave trash. Little else. Wear really good sneaker or hiking boots, the hike isn't bad, but when you get to the falls the it's all large rocks to climb over. You can go... More

We loved this place and rated it as one of the best spots in Tobago. You didn't need a guide as the walk up is very straightforward. Also our guide wasn't keen to take us to the top so we went on our own from the midpoint up to the top. Really glad we did because it was the best... More
