The Moreau Falls
Explore the breathtaking beauty of the Moreau Falls, a must-see experience during your stay in Goyave. Prepare for a approximately five-hour round-trip hike through the tropical forest along the Moreau River. Make sure to wear sturdy hiking shoes to navigate the riverbed with ease.
The four Moreau Falls will gradually reveal themselves as you progress. The most imposing, measuring about 100 meters in height, offers a majestic spectacle with its successive tiers cascading into a refreshing basin. Taking a plunge at its base will quickly make you forget the adventure of the journey.
This stunning landscape undoubtedly rivals the famous Carbet Falls. However, a valuable piece of advice: carefully check the weather forecast before your departure. In the event of heavy rainfall, the waters can rise rapidly, making the crossing challenging. It is strongly recommended to plan this hike during dry weather to avoid any inconvenience. Enjoy this natural gem to the fullest, but always exercise caution in the face of unpredictable weather.

Various operators offer excursions for an idyllic day on this preserved islet. During your visit, explore the Petit Cul-de-Sac-Marin and the mangrove, adding a touch of discovery to your stroll. Immerse yourself in the adventure amidst these translucent waters and cherish special moments at Îlet Fortune.
