There is a short and easy hike to the falls through rainforest and across the Richmond River via either a bamboo bridge or conventional bridge. You pass through a clearing in the middle of a pretty bamboo grove before reaching the first tall waterfall. Another short, but more difficult walk will take you up to the second waterfall, directly above the first. The waterfalls flow all year from a tributary of the Richmond River.

About Kingstown

Kingstown, capital of St Vincent and the Grenadines, is a harbour town on the south-west of St Vincent, with a hilltop fort and ferries to the Grenadines.

Kingstown lies on a curved bay on the south-west coast of St Vincent, with green mountains rising behind it and a harbour where inter-island ferries and cargo boats dock. Fort Charlotte, a British fort of the late 18th and early 19th centuries, stands on a ridge above the town with old cannon facing the sea and views along the coast to the Grenadines. In the centre, St George's Anglican cathedral and St Mary's Roman Catholic cathedral, in a mix of styles, stand close together.
