    Great Moderate Hike — No Guide Needed
    Beautiful and great hike! Very easy to explore without a guide. Paths were very clearly marked, though the hike to second and third pools do require a bit more agility. They also had notes on trees to describe what they are. It was a relatively short hike -20 mins- and felt like the perfect amount of challenge for a relaxing vacation. Give yourself time to swim and enjoy the pools and waterfall. Bar and restaurant also at site, though we did not partake.

    Beautiful falls
    Beautiful falls and very reasonable entrance fee that includes a guide. Drove from Scarborough in about 40 mins along a lovely coast road, albeit with some tight turns and potholes. Ignore the so called guides before you enter and use the official one included. Good idea to get there early as I hear it can get very busy.

    Be prepared to stop at first pool or climb a rock face to reach the second ❤️🥰❤️🙌🏻
    We visited in the late morning, it was quiet and easy to reach the first pool - the second pool looked like you need rock climbing skills with a rope provided to scramble up. We are 3 fit adults but didn’t fancy the climb up to the next pool. If it were easier to access all the pools I would give 5 stars. We were made aware of snakes nearby too by another family visiting. This wouldn’t put me off as they are not venomous. The climbing was a put off though! 🥰❤️🥰❤️

Lovely waterfall!
Jun 2022
A taxi driver, Mr. Mervyn McKnight took us to the falls. If you need a good taxi driver when you visit Tobago I would strongly recommend him. The gentleman was quite friendly, knowledgeable about Tobago’s history and very helpful. This was our third visit to the falls. We paid 50TT dollars entrance fee per person and this included a tour guide. Ask for Lennon Moore when you visit, he is an excellent and experienced tour guide. Rain had fallen that morning so the trail was a bit muddy, he assisted my friend on the trail and even helped her to clean mud off her shoes when we came back. They are also in the process of building a water park on the compound. The Fall is very beautiful and serene and it is worth a visit!

Underwhelmed
Jan 2020
We made our own way to the entrance to the falls, paid the entrance fee (around £7) and set off. Overall we found the falls underwhelming, certainly for £7! If you live in the UK you will see much better falls in the Yorkshire Dales and Lake District for nothing. It may depend on the time of year but take a look at the images on Google before you make the journey to see if you think it is worthwhile.

Lovely waterfall with extras
Oct 2019
TT60 per person. Very wet day so the path was very slippery in parts and the pools had a lot of runoff making things pretty murky. Tony was our guide and realised we really like wildlife so he pointed out the birds that were of interest. Near the guy who carves bamboo souvenirs were a number of mot mots. Dark area of trees so not great photos but at least we saw them. We only went as far as the first pool because of the conditions and our mobility issues. Good walking shoes with a decent tread would be helpful.
We really enjoyed it despite the damp conditions and we tipped TT60 at the end.
There are washroom facilities, drinks and snacks available as well as local made trinkets for sale.

Argyle Falls walk to the bottom of the falls, do not drive to the top.
Feb 2022
Argyle Falls is a lovely little nature trail, that leads to the first level of the falls and a lovely 18 foot deep swimming lagoon. You pay a very reasonable 60 TT per person to enter. There are washrooms and a snack bar. As part of your entry fee, you are assigned a lovely guide. In our case it was Lenin who is a very well informed person, knowledgeable about the local plants and how they can be used as herbal remedies.

Lenin walked us to the falls, and then we let him know we were going to swim and hang out for a couple of hours, and it was ok with us if he wanted to get back to guide the next set of clients. The trail is very easy to follow so you cannot get lost going back. However, having a guide is well worth it, because you learn about the local plants. Please tip your guide well. It has been a tough time being in tourism during Covid.

We swam, ate some snacks and had a great time. We could have walked up to the next level of the falls and the one after that, on a steep trail with a hand rope but we were too chicken!

Once we left, we got a good lunch from a little grilled burger and chicken place up the road.

There are a couple bad reviews of these falls, but it is clear the people writing them drove their cars to the top of the falls and were disappointed. The swimming area and the biggest falls are at the bottom and you must walk, you cannot drive.

Hike and explore
Apr 2021 • Family
The Argyle waterfall is accessible after a 65 minute drive from Crown Point. After parking and payment, the washrooms, snack bar can be accessed. Afters short 20 minute walk along the well maintained trail, the waterfall can be viewed.

If you wish to access the higher levels, the trail is accessible from the right of the falls. This moderate intensity hike of approximately 20- 30minutes duration.

Certainly a natural treasure!

A beautiful Place to Visit - Argyle Waterfall
May 2022
The Argyle Waterfall is very beautiful. There is a short trail that is well kept and safe for children, leading to the beautiful falls. It is about 15 to 20 minutes walk depending on your speed. A $50 TTD entrance fee for locals and $60 TTD for foreigners is required. They have toilet facilities but no shower or changing facilities. There is also a Bar where you an get cold drinks and snacks. There are beautiful cotton trees, cocoa and poui trees along the way that creates a shady cool path to walk. There are three levels to reach the top of the Falls. Each level has a very beautiful pool surrounded by rocks. Children must be supervised as the pools goes from a small shallow end to a deep 18 ft pool. (this is just the first pool). The others are very similar. The clear cut safe trail for kids is up to the first pool. The trail to the other two levels require upper body strength to use the ropes to get up certain areas. Also a shoe with good grip is also required since it is a climb uphill and there are a lot of bamboo leaves which can cause one to slip very easily. the trail to the second level, is easy to hike up. The third level is not to bad but a bit more slippery but once you reach the top the view is beautiful and everything below looks so tiny. It is a nice trail for adventurers.

A little touch of nature
Feb 2020 • Couples
Went to check out these falls and we were not disappointed. Is more in the north part of Tobago so a bit of a drive if you are staying close to the airport.

The falls is beautiful. There is a pool at the bottom where you are allowed to swim. Pool has alot of fish so I personally chose not to swim.

It's about a 15 Min clear trail from the parking area where you also see some trees with names and information attached to them.

There is a little restaurant and bar where you can get snacks and drinks before or after your hike.

Would definitely recommend.

Guided walk to waterfalls
Feb 2020 • Couples
We arrived on a very warm day. Asked for a guide to take us to the waterfall. It’s worthwhile doing as they can explain the trees/ plants and birds to you on the way . It’s a bit up and down and uneven so if you aren’t good on your legs just take it easy. Waterfalls are lovely . Not gigantic and the bottom pool has mullet in it but harmless to you. You can walk up to the top of the falls but the guide will not take you and it’s slippy. You can get a drink and sit undercover afterwards . The lady will even try and sell you sone cocoa . If you use this type of ingredient then it’s worthwhile buying some .

Peaceful and serene!
Jul 2020 • Family
A 20 minute easy hike to the waterfalls. I suggest you go in sneakers with good grip and with the Waterfall tour guide (Tony). If you are adventureous, you can hike further up the falls but advise that you do that in groups with more than 5 persons. Very peaceful and serene.

Great hike and swim
Mar 2020 • Couples
A beautiful walk through large bamboo filled rainforest. Lots of birds to greet you along the way. You can do the easy 10-15 walk to the falls or go all the way up - which we did. Took about 45 min to get to the top and you work up a sweat so bring some water. I went for a lovely dip in the waterfall pool before walking down. The hike/climb is easy enough for anyone that is regularny active. You can always stop half way and come down if it’s to challenging.
You pay 60tt a person when You arrive in the parking lot. You can also get a guide if you like.
