Caves And Whirlpool Under Waterfalls

Reach Falls is an exotic waterfall flowing down a rock face into an emerald river pool with lush greenery all around.  This falls is a lovely cool spot that is out-of-the-way for most tourist but should not be missed.  There are caves under the falls that were probably used by runaway slaves.  And of special interest is the healing whirlpool to be found in the Mandingo Cave.

Some twenty-three species of Ferns are nestled along the embankment, home to black and yellow-billed parrots and also to a variety of birds. You can take a guided tour upstream where you'll find a picnic area for your enjoyment.
