Tour Overview

Visit Dark View Falls, St. Vincent's iconic twin cascades located in a rich forest grove on the slopes of Richmond Peak. The journey starts with a drive up the scenic Leeward coast. At the site, we'll cross a exciting bamboo suspension bridge suspended over the Richmond River, followed by a light 15-minute forest walk to the lower falls. A slightly steeper path leads to the spectacular upper falls. Both sites feature clean, refreshing natural plunge pools perfect for swimming.

  • Cross a high bamboo suspension bridge over the Richmond River.
  • Bathe in the natural rock pools formed by two separate waterfalls.
  • Trek rainforest trails surrounded by wild bamboo and ginger lilies.
