About: Hiking the 7 Cascades (Upper)

Description

Located in the centre of the island, Tamarind Falls, also known as 7 Cascades, is a breathtaking series of waterfalls.

This half day hike explores the upper part of the series of 11 waterfalls.

We meet at 7 Cascades Lodges, where there is secure parking and proper toilet facilities available.

After a short safety briefing, we start the hike and head down into the gorge to reach the first of 5 waterfalls we will explore during the day.
