Somerset Falls

TIME : 2016/2/18 15:33:00

This dark waterfall is hidden in a deep gorge about 3km east of Hope Bay. The Daniels River cascades down through a lush garden of ferns, heliconias, lilies and crotons into glistening teardrop black pools. Visitors have to negotiate some steep, twisty steps to get here.

The site has a touristy restaurant, bar, ice-cream shop and small menagerie, but the falls themselves are unspoiled.

The entrance fee includes a guided tour through a grotto by boat to the Hidden Fall, which tumbles 10m into a jade-colored grotto. Bring a swimsuit to enjoy the large swimming area.
