    @alle,
    falls noch jemand Lust hat, mit uns einen der höchsten Wasserfälle in Kleingruppe zu besuchen, anbei under Tread aus anderen Forum...

    Roseau Valley Best hike (wet tour)

    Middleham Falls: One of the tallest waterfalls on the Island. The hike to this waterfall is about 45 minutes to1 hour one way (1.5 -1.8 miles each way), walking through part of the Island lush rain forest (trail gets muddy when it rains a day or two before). For the first 20- 25 minutes you would be climbing up steps (steep), which is the most difficult part of the hike/tour. From then it is mainly flat and downhill, with a little uphill until you get to the waterfall. There are some rocky and slippery areas on your way to the waterfall. There is a huge pool at the base of the waterfall with fresh, clean, cold water which will be tempting you to get in. (not the easiest pool to get into). Trail is a bit strenuous, rugged and slippery in some areas. Must be in good shape to do this hike.

    Titou Gorge: One of the most unique areas on the Island and it's also a spot where part of Pirates Of The Caribbean 2 was filmed. Like just about all fresh water swimming areas on the Island, The water at Titou Gorge is cold. To enjoy the gorge you would have to take the short swim (about 2 minutes) up a cave like area (opened top, you can see the sky while swimming, you do not swim under water). The swim is about 200 feet and the water is about 15 feet deep at its deepest point. Once you get to the middle of the cave-Like area ere is a ledge you can stand on. That’s the only place you will be able to stand before you get to the end of your swim. There is a small waterfall one can swim to, if the water is not flowing too heavy (Optional). If you are athletic you can climb the waterfall (4-5 feet) to get to another waterfall but anyone jumping has to be very athletic since you have to jump about 6 feet out into the water on your way down to avoid a ledge in the water. This part is not for everyone and is optional even if you can make the jump. (There is 5-7 minutes rocky walk to Titou Gorge). We provide swim belts to all our guests.

    Trafalgar Falls: (two waterfalls in the same area) 10 minutes walk one way up a few steps. The walk is not too difficult but can be a bit challenging if one has any major problems with their backs, legs, hips or if one is short in breath due to lungs or heart condition. After the ten minutes walk, you get to a platform where you and view the waterfalls and take photos. There is an optional extra two minutes walk where you can soak in the HOT mineral water (natural hot spring). There are steps leading down to the water but the rock around the hot spring can be slippery when wet. Visitors should take their time walking around the hot spring since the area can be a little slippery and there are a few steps to climb. Climbing to the base of the waterfall should be avoided as much as possible because of the danger involved.

    Champagne reef can be added to this tour but doing so will make the tour $5.00us more and about 1 hour longer. We will only do it if time permits which depends on how long hikers take to hike to and from Middleham falls.

    This is a great tour/hike (my personal favorite) but can be a bit challenging if one has any difficulty with their backs, legs, hips or if one is short in breath due to lungs or heart condition and not in good physical shape, they should not attempt this tour.

    The duration of this tour is about 6 to 7 hours and cost $65.00us per person (adult) and $55.00us children 14 and under. This tour is not suitable for children under the age of 10.

    NB: There will be a maximum of 12 people per group.

    You pay for the tour after it has been completed, with cash or travellers cheques (US dollars).

    Site passes will be provided, you do not have to go stand in line to purchase site passes.


    There will be complementary local (kubuli) beers, soft-drinks and local bottled water on the tour.

    Recommendations:

    Wear a good pair of waterproof strapped sandals. (eg. Keens)

    Swim suits and towels
    Bring along snacks/Sandwiches and or some fruits (we do not provide lunch)

    Waterproof camera would be great for this tour
