Hiking Sept Cascades (Tamarind Falls) - Half Day
Description
The Tamarind Falls, also called the 7 cascades, is an enjoyable hike in the heart of the island. Our 3 hours guided hike is a highlight of the best waterfalls on the spot. Surrounded by lush green forests and dark volcanic rocks, we progress on single tracks and open areas offering astonishing views upon the falls and the canyons. During the walk, we have the possibility to enjoy a nice swim in the natural pool that water has carved in the rock, and appreciate a natural massage under the cascades. Please note that this is not a flat hike; it involves traversing varied terrain with both ascents and descents over rocky surfaces and steep sections with roots. You may encounter challenging and technical parts along the trail. In some instances, you may need to rely on your hands for support, using branches or tree roots to navigate through these sections.

Wonderful experience, adventurous and fun. Our guide Rowin was amazing, keeping us motivated and excited about the trip through entire hike. Few important tips however... this route is for in-shape hikers. You need to make sure that you have proper equipment, especially hiking shoes since the path is steep and slippery.
Gilles was a fantastic guide who made sure we were all okay throughout the hike. The waterfalls were incredible. The trip is well worth the money and it is definitely a good idea to have a guide.
Superb experience! Our guide, Paj, was very nice and very professional. He gave us information about the wildlife and plants throughout the hike, it was great! I recommend it!
The hike was superb, small group (7 people) and the possibility to swim at 2 different times. Our guide, Paj, was great. He brought good humor to the group and explanations about nature throughout the walk. Thanks again to him!
it was a super hike. We were lucky that we were alone. Because of that, we were able to do everything at our own pace. Yudish was a super tour guide. He told us a lot about the history of the waterfalls and their surroundings. He kept showing us photo spots. It was simply top
Excellent hike accompanied by Yudish and Cédric! The walk is magnificent and really a must-do. We were very well taken care of by the guides who were concerned about our well-being and safety! Thank you very much!
Superb landscapes, though with a bit of exercise: we scramble around for our greatest pleasure! 😉 Special mention to our 2 guides, Yudish and Cédric, who were both funny and very professional: I recommend them to you! 🕶️
Had the best hiking experience with gilles as our guide.. the hike it self is a beautiful mix of forest and waterfalls.. the guide made it extra special with his knowledge and kindness
Rowin was top-notch! Best guide for the 7 waterfalls. Attentive and interesting, we had an excellent time as a family! And we have memorable memories! I highly recommend the excursion and if you have Rowin you will have a good time ;-)
Magnificent hike with Paj who helped us discover the 7 waterfalls. He is passionate about nature and shares his knowledge while ensuring everyone's safety! Great
