What you’ll do

This 3-day waterfall itinerary is designed for travelers who love lush trails, easy-to-moderate walks, photogenic spots, and refreshing natural pools — all without needing to be an expert hiker. You’ll experience the sound of falling water in some of the island’s most scenic locations: the jungle-lined coast of Anse des Cascades, the dramatic plunge of Cascade Niagara, and a peaceful forest route to a safe alternative to Bassin des Aigrettes.

Each day offers a blend of walks, waterfalls, and food stops — with optional upgrades for stronger hikers or photo lovers. Whether you’re traveling solo, as a couple, or with kids in tow, this itinerary balances relaxation, nature, and local flavor.

Includes step-by-step directions, accessibility notes, photo spots, swimming safety tips, restaurant recs, and local bonus stops along the way.
