Getting There
-
Taxi
From Victoria, a taxi is the most direct way to reach the Rainbow Falls trailhead. Negotiate the fare with the driver beforehand, as prices are not fixed. A typical one-way fare to a suitable drop-off point near the trail could range from $15 to $25 USD. Ensure the driver knows the specific location of the Rainbow Falls trail entrance. Note that taxis generally only accept cash, and it's cheaper to pay in East Caribbean Dollars (XCD).
-
Public Transport
From Victoria, take a local bus heading towards Concord. These buses are independently operated vans with route numbers displayed. The fare will be between $2.50 XCD ($0.92 USD) to $6.50 XCD ($2.40 USD). Ask the driver to drop you off at the nearest accessible point to the Rainbow Falls trail. From there, it will be a walk to the trailhead. Be aware that bus service may be limited on Sundays.
-
Walking
From the center of Victoria, the walk to the Rainbow Falls trailhead is considerable and not recommended as a primary means of access due to distance and challenging terrain. If walking from accommodations closer to the trailhead, follow local roads and inquire about the best route. Be prepared for steep inclines and potential for muddy conditions.
