Trafalgar Falls

Twin waterfalls, the “Father” and “Mother,” stand side by side in the rainforest. A walk of about 15 minutes reaches the viewing platform, and a natural hot-spring pool at the base invites a soak.

The falls are located near the village of Trafalgar, below Laudat. The taller “Father Falls” on the left is about 65 m high, and the “Mother Falls” on the right is about 38 m. Hot springs also flow nearby, forming small warm pools among the rocks. From the parking lot, a gentle trail takes about 10–15 minutes to reach the viewing platform. If you want to soak in the hot pools at the base of the falls, you'll need to clamber over slippery boulders, so take care and it's best to follow a guide. An Eco-Site Pass (about US$5) is required. The falls are about 8 km from Roseau. Cruise-ship days bring crowds, so go early in the morning or later in the afternoon.
