You can swim in the natural water or climb higher if you want to explore further up the falls. The waterfall sits 54 meters (175 feet) tall, making it the highest on the island.

After time at the waterfall, the tour moves to a tropical garden in Plymouth, a 12-acre working organic estate and nature reserve. Over 50 bird species live here, with various types of hummingbirds among the most visible. You'll walk through the garden at a relaxed pace, watch the hummingbirds at their feeders, and photograph them as they move through the space.
