Your journey begins with a scenic drive into the island’s mountainous interior, where the air grows cooler and the forest thickens. First stop: Spanny Falls, a hidden gem tucked away in the rainforest. Choose to view from the upper trail or take a short but slightly adventurous hike down to the base for a rewarding swim beneath the cascading water.

See for yourself where scenes from Pirates of the Caribbean were filmed.

The second largest of its kind in the world, Boiling Lake is in the Valley of Desolation — words that seem to describe life on another planet but which perfectly capture what you’ll find if you’re daring enough.

Begin your journey at Titou Gorge, a narrow volcanic canyon with crystal clear water and towering rock walls. After a short swim upstream (life jackets provided), you’ll reach a hidden waterfall cascading into the gorge an unforgettable experience featured in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest.
