OVERVIEW

Experience the natural beauty of Tobago with a short hike through a forest reserve to Argyle Waterfalls, where you may swim in the cool pools. You will first follow a naturalist guide through a low-mountain landscape that makes up the oldest forest reserve in the Western Hemisphere. Established in 1776, it contains an abundance of unusual flora and fauna. You may see hummingbirds, butterflies, red squirrels and more, happily flitting and scurrying about. The flourishing bamboo and mix of trees such as mango, avocado and breadfruit make for an inviting backdrop that the naturalist will describe in detail. Before long, you will reach Argyle Waterfalls, a series of stepped cascades that rise 175 feet into the dense forest. Feel free to take a refreshing dip in the serene pools at the bottom. What a pleasure to float effortlessly on your back and gaze up into the tropical landscape, the waterfalls cascading down behind you.
