Action packed from start to finish, this activity takes you to
four of the island's most beautiful waterfalls.
Twin Trafalgar Falls - Sari Sari Falls and Victoria falls.
From our base we travel up the picture perfect green clad
Roseau
Valley to the village of Trafalgar, then hike up to see two of the
island's most visited waterfalls.
If you are adventurous and inclined to swim in mountain rivers,
we will hike over gigantic boulders to the smaller of the two falls
where we will introduce you to nature's greatest life sustaining
force in the form of gorgeous river pool which creates its own
rainbows.
Then there are the hot springs, the awesome hot springs of
over104 degrees F'.
Time to lay back, relax and enjoy the warmth and natural
therapeutic properties of these rejuvenating springs that nature
provided for just such an occasion.
Well if you don't bathe you will be the one depriving yourself of
all the fun.
OK time to back for the vehicle and be on our way to the Sari
Sari Falls.
Through the city of Roseau we go and along the west coast then
head into the interior for the village of Lablaine in the south
east of the island.
Driving along the road is in itself a fascinating experience;
panoramic vistas, mountains, valleys, rivers and plantations will
be the norm.
When we arrive in Laplaine, the drama continues, we begin with
a hike through a banana plantation, then descend into a gorge,
through which the Sari Sari River runs.
We will now hike and scrabble up this gorge under the canopy of
lush rain forest, until the Sari Sari Falls dramatically appears
before us.
The pool at the base of this waterfall is mind blowing but you
won't know that unless you get in, when you do you will feel
the force of nature and you will love it.
Time to move on, we head back to the vehicle and begin the
drive to the village of Delices for our final waterfall, the Victoria
Falls.
The hike will be somewhat similar to Sari Sari but you will
notice that the colour of the river is different.
This is La Riviere Blanche "the White River" which originates in
the Valley of Desolation; it is fed by the Boiling Lake and many
volcanic streams.
Getting close the Victoria Falls will be more of challenge than
Sari Sari, but hey so what, this is your day for adventure.
Unlike the Sari Sari pool this one is not crystal clear, it is bluish
white, sorry that was a color I invented.
A last swim in one or many for great pools, (I usually call them
(swimming holes) to refresh ourselves for the hike and drive
back.
I am sure that if you have read this far your question will be
"what about lunch", yes that is a limitation we have, we must eat.
Pack a few sandwiches and some juice or water, saves time we
do
not want to spend in a restaurant when there is so much to do.
Beside there are not too many restaurants on our route.
Time 6 - 8 hours
