The Seven Sisters waterfalls are a series of cascades in the rainforest of Grenada's interior, reached by a trail of about five kilometers that starts near Grand Etang. The hike runs through shaded forest and down into a valley, with rocky, muddy sections that make good footwear essential. At the end you can swim in the pool at the base of the falls, which is the reward after the climb back up. The guided tour collects you from your hotel or the cruise port at around 9am, drives to Grand Etang, and leads the hike with a local guide who points out plants and wildlife along the way. Entrance fees, gratuities, food and drinks are included. It earns a 4.8 rating from more than 80 travelers, and it is the best choice if you want waterfalls with some effort behind them.
What to expect: this is a moderate hike, not a stroll. The trail is steep, rocky and often muddy or slippery, especially after rain, and many travelers recommend sturdy shoes and a walking stick. The listing recommends a moderate level of fitness and notes it is not suitable for people with back or heart conditions, for pregnant travelers or for wheelchair users. Guides have advised against swimming after heavy rain, so be ready for conditions to change the plan.
What is included: the tour covers transport in an air-conditioned van, entrance fees, a professional local guide, gratuities, food and drinks, and the swim at the base of the falls. The listing shows about five hours in total, with the hike itself taking a couple of hours, so it is a half-day outing that can still work on a cruise day with a comfortable return buffer.
Tips for a good day: bring a swimsuit and towel, a change of dry clothes, insect repellent and a small bag for valuables. Carry water and take your time on the descent, because the climb back up is the harder part. Free cancellation applies up to 24 hours before the start.
