What a great adventure!!! The hike to the waterfall was a little rough but well worth it once we got there. The gorge was very cool also. To end the day in the hot springs was just the icing on the cake to complete the day. Can’t forget the great local lunch we stopped to enjoy also. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking to enjoy the island! (Reviewed on 2025-02-03)
