An incredible waterfall that flows into the sea. But little or NOT visible. Access to the viewpoint is slippery and at the end, steep. On our last visit we couldn't even see the waterfall. Access to the beach and the bottom of the waterfall in the current state of affairs is impossible, because it is not secure (rope and ladder on vertical wall without security). The situation must evolve in the future apparently... Access by sea by boat is to be tried.

Great destination! Enjoyed the open trail and peaceful outdoor atmosphere.

We could see the waterfall between the foliage. A danger sign is almost hidden to the right of the trail. A few meters further, pushing through the vegetation, you really can't go any further. Dangerous place, therefore not recommended.

There is no longer any access, a wild path will take you to the edge of the cliff, at your own risk. But you won't be able to see the waterfall

Caution, this site is no longer accessible; the ladder and the ropes are no longer in place! I took off my equipment because I saw on this Google page that some people took the risk of going there without any security, putting their lives in danger!!! This site was equipped to progress in safety, guided by a canyoning instructor, and all the technical equipment (harness, lanyards, gears, helmets, etc). Not wishing to feel responsible and to prevent the accident, I removed all my equipment since some people did not understand the beauty of life!?! For those who want to live this adventure safely and enjoy life contact me! #canyoningdominica
