EASY HIKESTrafalgar FallsStarting four miles northeast of Roseau, in Trafalgar, this hike leads you to a pair of adjacent waterfalls. The taller of the two is referred to as the Father (or Papa) and the shorter, the Mother (or Mama).A ten to fifteen minute walk along a well-maintained path brings you to a viewing platform where you can photograph and see both falls. For a closer look, a path leads to the base of the falls. Climb over the boulders to enjoy a swim in the pool at the base of the Mother Falls.
Ti-Tou GorgeStarting five-and-a-half miles northeast of Roseau in Laudat, the trip to Ti-Tou Gorge, also knows as 'Little Throat' Gorge in Carib, is actually a five minute swim to the base of a waterfall through a series of natural 'rooms and ponds' formed by high cliff walls canopied by interlaced trees.The canopied light filtering down the mountainside within the gorge is spectacular. Ti-Tou Gorge also features a hot spring just outside the entrance of the gorge. The gorge was used as a filming location for Pirates of the Caribbean II.
Emerald PoolStarting eight miles northeast of Roseau, off the Canefield – Castle Bruce Road, Emerald Pool is a beautiful waterfall in a grotto and the perfect place to enjoy a swim.The 40-foot waterfall is Dominica’s most accessible, reached along a natural wooden walkway.
Freshwater LakeDominica's largest lake, Freshwater Lake, rests at the end of a two-and-a-half mile stone road beginning in the town of Laudat. The road is suitable for walking, otherwise it is possible to drive within a fifteen minute walk of the lake.Although on 55 feet deep, legend has it that the lake is bottomless and a one-eyed denizen of the deep resides there. The elevated areas around the lake offer a magnificent view of the east coast, Grand Fond and Rosalie.
STRENUOUS HIKESBoiling LakeThe Boiling Lake hike ranks as one of Dominica's most demanding trails, taking approximately six hours for the round-trip over some very challenging terrain. It is recommended to talk with a local guide.
Starting from the village of Laudat, hikers venture through rainforests filled with rare exotic birds, and the Valley of Desolation, a moss-covered valley littered with brightly coloured hot springs, boiling mud and mini-geysers, before reaching the Boiling Lake. This lake is the second largest of its kind in the world, with water temperatures around the edges ranging from 180-197 degrees Fahrenheit. Beginning at approximately 1,600 feet, the trail starts out flat but quickly grows steeper.
Morne DiablotinDominica’s most challenging trek, and one that is rarely conquered, is a very steep hike up to the peak of Morne Diablotin (Devil’s Mountain). Located in the Northern Forest Reserve and towering u to 4,747 feet.This is the island’s highest peak and also the natural habitat of the two endemic parrots found in Dominica – The Sisserou Amazone Imperialis and the Jacquot or red-necked Amazona parrot. It is also a great place to spot many of the other 170 species of birds in Dominica. This hike should be reserved for the most energetic hikers and only with a local guide. Bird watches need not despair – the Sisserou and Jacquot can also be seen along the less strenuous Syndicate Nature Trail in the foothills of Morne Diablotin. |
ADVENTUREThis stunning island of Dominica is a hikers and nature lover's paradise. The island is home to nearly 300 miles of footpaths open up to some of Dominica's most spectacular sceneries.Whatever you're level of fitness there is a trail just right for you, each with a spectacular attraction at its conclusion.
MODERATE HIKESSari-Sari FallsMuch of the appeal of this trail comes from its location on the remote Atlantic side of Dominica, with its starting point in La Plaine on the southeast coast.The trail descends a steep incline to the bed of the Sari-Sari River, crossing it several times as the exact path depends on the flow of the river. The hike is about one mile in each direction, and can be slippery when wet.
Boeri LakeThe one-and-a-quarter mile path to Boeri Lake begins at Freshwater Lake. The path is rocky and can be slippery, especially in the rain.The lake sits at an elevation of 2,800 ft. covering some four acres. Fed by rainfall and runoff, the water level varies seasonally.
Middleham FallsStarting five miles northeast of Roseau in Laudat, the long and sometimes hilly trek to Middleham Falls leads into the heart of the fern and orchid-filled rainforest and takes about three hours.The striking falls – Dominica’s highest – are highlighted by a narrow stream that drops approximately 200 feet from a keyhole notch in the lip of the cliff. A shallow cave to the left of the falls makes a great place to relax. Two trails lead to Middleham Falls, the more popular of which begins just off the Roseau-Laudat road.
Victoria FallsVictoria Falls is fed by the White River, named because of its white colour due to mineral content.The waterfalls are the same white colour as the river, whilst the cliff face and boulders at the base of the falls are a rich rust colour due to mineral deposits. The hike is actually more of a scramble – it involves crossing rivers and climbing over some rocks, so walkers should be prepared to wade in water up to their knees. There is the opportunity to swim under the waterfall. The trip usually takes less that 45 minutes each way and can be started at Delices on the southeast coast, or from the east coast. This trip can be combined with the Sari-Sari Falls hike, as the trailheads are close together. |
