Trinity Falls

Come and explore Trinity Falls in the Wallilabou River

This tour takes you on the Leeward Highway out of Kingstown passing the Botanic Gardens and over the ridge overlooking Kingstown and Camden Park Bay. Drive through exotic coves and fishing villages, like the village of Layou where the Ruthland Vale Sugar Works gives you a good idea of just how profitable sugar was during the early history of the country.

As is evident in the names of towns and villages (Troumaca, Petit Bordel and Chateaubelair), the flavour of the French is still here as a reminder of historic times. As we approach Richmond, the Leeward Highway ends forcing us to turn inland on Trinity Road, capturing tropical ferns, trees and cultivated land. Further inland we come to a rugged road that crosses small streams before we reach our point of hiking.

A 45-minute hike through lush rainforest brings us to one of the natural wonders of the island. A 40 ft. waterfall descends in three cascades into a circular pool, then falls another 10 ft. into a second pool, which is used for swimming. You can swim in one of the warmest and cleanest rivers in St. Vincent. The hike back out is a bit challenging for about 10 minutes but gradually levels out. You can relax or take a nap on the drive back.

Climate And Clothing

The climate at Trinity Falls is tropical, with occasional refreshing rain showers; therefore, a change of clothing is advisable. For hiking-shorts and t-shirts, ordinary outdoor shoes or sneakers are required. Please do not forget to bring along your swimsuit and towels.
