Nice place if you manage to get there before the tourist groups 🤭 We walked here from the ferry pier. It was tiring but absolutely doable 🤩

We toured the falls as part of a shore excursion. The guide was very knowledgeable and kind. We enjoyed learning about the local plants and the history of the area. Our guide even sang some of a Bob Marley song to us. She had a lovely voice! The facilities and grounds themselves could use some maintenance and TLC.
