The road lifts and folds through sugarcane and spice farms until the rainforest closes like a green room and the sky narrows to a strip above the falls. You step out of the air‑conditioned vehicle into humidity and a chorus of leaves — insects humming, distant water drumming over rock. At Annandale a shallow pool waits beneath a glossy curtain; at Concord the falls widen into stepped terraces that reflect fragments of sky; and at Mount Carmel, two plunges drop clean into a pool deep enough to swim.

Adventure Tips
Wear grippy shoes
Trails are short but wet and rooty; closed‑toe shoes with good tread reduce slips on rock and muddy sections.
Bring a dry bag
Waterfalls mean cameras and phones will get splashed—carry a small dry bag or waterproof phone case for gear.
Use reef‑safe sunscreen
Avoid soaps or lotions in freshwater pools to protect native aquatic life and downstream streams.
Confirm pickup if on a cruise
Operators require cruise details at booking—give ship name and docking time to ensure timely pickup.
