Dominica

Things to do in Dominica

  1. Boiling Lake

    Dominica's pre-eminent trek is a rugged day-long hike to Boiling Lake, the world's second largest actively boiling lake. This strenuous hike will take three to three and a-half hours each way, beginning at Titou Gorge. It also requires a guide, which you can arrange in Laudat. Wear sturdy walking shoes and expect to get muddy along the way.

    Geologists believe the 63m/207ft-wide lake is a flooded fumarole - a crack in the earth that allows hot gasses to vent from the molten lava below. The eerie-looking lake sits inside a deep basin, its greyish waters veiled in steam, its centre emitting bubbly burps.

    En route to the lake the trail passes through the aptly named Valley of…

  2. Emerald Pool

    Emerald Pool takes its name from its lush green setting at the base of a 12m (40ft) waterfall. The pool, deep enough for a swim, is reached via a five-minute walk through a rain forest of ferns and tall trees.

    Emerald Pool is generally a serenely quiet area except on cruise-ship days, when one packed mini-van after another pulls up to the site.

    The road from Canefield is a nice winding drive with thick jungle vegetation, mountain views and lots of beep-as-you-go hairpin turns. The trailhead is marked with a roadside forestry sign.

  3. Trafalgar Falls

    The easily accessible and spectacular Trafalgar Falls on the eastern edge of Morne Trois Pitons National Park are worth a visit. Actually two adjacent waterfalls - the taller one is the Father, the lower, shorter falls is the Mother - they are accessed by a .4 mile (600m) walk along a well trodden trail that leads to a viewing platform. Bring your camera.

    At the base of the Mother, an inviting pool beckons you for an invigorating swim.
