Excursion Eco trek at bamboo falls tour at St. George's Island

Experience the natural splendour of Grenada on-foot during this hiking excursion at the Bamboo Waterfall.

Grand Etang

Depart the pier for the scenic, approximately 45-minute drive to Grand Etang. Located high up in the mountains of the island's interior, Grand Etang's varied elevations and terrains boast several different ecological subsystems, culminating in the elfin woodlands high up the slopes of the reserve's central mountains. At an altitude of 1,476 feet (450 meters), this small mountainous territory is rooted in sheer rock, with towering mahogany and giant gommier trees of up to 131 feet (40 meters) in height. Grand Etang's flora also includes a multitude of ferns, tropical flowers and other indigenous plants. The lush vegetation provides shelter for a wide variety of animal, reptile and bird species.

Private Plantation and Bamboo Waterfall

Next, begin your guided trek through the heart of the tropical rainforest. Your trek will involve a challenging hike over muddy terrain and river crossing before reaching the idyllic Bamboo Waterfall. En route, pass through a private plantation with cocoa, nutmeg and banana trees. Upon arrival at the Bamboo Waterfall, you may opt to take a relaxing soak. Afterward, your eco-trek concludes with a refreshment stop at Grand Etang before commencing the approximately 40-minute drive back to the pier.
