St Vincent is a volcanic island that offers a lot of sights that should not be missed. One of the incredible sight not be missed , is the falls of Baleine accessible only by boat is nested snugly in the rain forest on the extreme north end of St Vincent.
The falls can be reached by overland trek but the best and most popular way is to take a power boat trip from Kingstown or one of the fishing villages on the island's west coast.
Fresh mountain water plunges 60 feet into a natural cool pool, before running down towards the sea. Standing beneath the fall is pure exhilaration; a long way to go for a shower but well worth it.
