A rainforest hike up into the Basse-Terre hills to Trois Cornes waterfall, a cool freshwater swimming hole few cruise excursions bother reaching.
What to expect
You climb through dense tropical forest on a marked but quiet trail, crossing a couple of stream fords, before reaching a waterfall that drops into a clear, cold pool. Guides point out local flora like heliconia and wild ginger along the way. Swimming in the pool afterward is the reward for the climb.

Good to know
Moderate fitness required; wear real hiking shoes, not sandals. Roughly 3 hours round trip — schedule as a morning excursion to leave buffer before reboarding.
