The driver cuts through the coastal road just as the island exhales—humidity rising, the hills ahead dark with forest. Within thirty minutes of St. George’s you’re off the main road, boots meeting a narrow trail where the canopy tightens and the sound of water gets closer, insistently calling. The first plunge pool opens like a private theater: a vertical sheet of water, a stone lip rimed with moss, and a cool bowl below that dares you to jump.
