Dark View Falls

Nature and outdoor places in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines

Explore rainforest trails, waterfalls, botanic gardens, volcanic landscapes and a protected marine park across Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.

These places bring together hikes, forest, gardens, wildlife and waterside nature across Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. Some offer easy walks and picnic areas, while others involve a steep trail or a boat trip.

  1. Dark View Falls

    Parks & Nature, Saint David Parish

    A short rainforest walk crosses a bamboo bridge to two waterfalls. The lower fall drops into a natural pool, and the site also has picnic areas and changing rooms.

  2. La Soufrière Volcano

    Parks & Nature, Saint David Parish

    A steep trail climbs through rainforest and old lava flows to the crater rim of the country’s active volcano. Guided hikes take most of a day, with views over the crater and both coasts from the summit.

  3. Owia Salt Pond

    Parks & Nature, Charlotte Parish

    This natural ocean-fed pool is enclosed by volcanic rock that breaks the Atlantic swell. A stairway leads from a recreation site with gazebos and picnic spots to the calm pool, where reef fish can be seen.

  4. Saint Vincent Botanic Gardens

    Things to do, Saint George Parish

    Paths wind through twenty acres of tropical trees and flowering plants in Kingstown’s botanic gardens. The grounds also contain an aviary that breeds the endemic Saint Vincent parrot, and local guides offer short walking tours.

  5. Tobago Cays Marine Park

    Parks & Nature, Grenadines Parish

    Five uninhabited cays sit behind Horseshoe Reef in this protected marine park. Snorkellers can swim with green turtles in the seagrass around Baradal, and local boat operators run day trips from nearby islands.

  6. Vermont Nature Trail

    Parks & Nature, Saint Andrew Parish

    This looping rainforest trail climbs through mature forest to a lookout over the parrot reserve. Interpretive stops explain the forest, and the shaded walk is popular with birders and families.

  7. Wallilabou Bay (Pirates of the Caribbean Anchorage)

    Things to do, Saint Patrick Parish

    A walk of about fifteen minutes up the valley from the bay leads to the small Wallilabou Falls and heritage park. The bay itself is a sheltered anchorage on Saint Vincent’s leeward coast.
