About this hike
Kwame Falls is a picturesque, off-the-beaten-path waterfall tucked away in the rural community of Robin's Bay in St. Mary parish. It carries deep historical significance, being named after Kwame, a warrior who fought alongside the legendary Tacky in Jamaica's most notable pre-emancipation rebellion of 1760. To reach the falls, visitors embark on a roughly four-hour round-trip hike through lush tropical rainforest, crossing the Kwame River multiple times and taking in sweeping views of St. Mary's rugged coastline along the way. At the journey's end, a graceful cascade tumbles into a deep, refreshing pool, known for having warm spring-fed spots, surrounded by towering trees and vibrant foliage, making the trek well worth the effort for nature lovers and adventure seekers alike.
Is this hike right for you?

Arrive on time, bring water, and wear footwear suited to the terrain. Conditions can change quickly in the Jamaican hills — check the forecast the night before.
