Argyle Falls
Argyle Waterfall
Tobago’s tallest waterfall, with a total drop of about 50 metres over three tiers. A rainforest trail takes 15–20 minutes to reach it, and you can swim in the pools.
The falls are located near Roxborough on the southeast coast, with a visitor centre at the entrance where tickets are sold. You can hire a guide to show you cocoa trees, bamboo groves and birds along the way. The lower pool is the easiest to reach. If you are fit, you can climb over the rocks to the quieter pools higher up. The rocks are slippery, so wear non-slip sandals, and bring a swimsuit and insect repellent. It takes about 40 minutes to drive from Scarborough, and the falls are often combined with Speyside and the Main Ridge in a one-day island loop.
