The 50 best things to do in Dominica

Beautiful space. I couldn't climb up because I didn't have water shoes and I couldn't get through the rocks. Bought the most amazing cookies I've ever had and a guava cherry juice. Delicious

It’s a pretty good waterfall with an easy enough hike (15-20 minutes) but they changed the price to $20 USD per person, for only one site. You can only pay in cash on site and they are very misleading about what the passes apply to. I’ve been to better waterfalls for free

Trafalgar Falls is absolutely beautiful! I visited during the off-season, and there was only one other person there — it was so peaceful. The scenery is incredible, and it’s the perfect place to just sit and watch the waterfalls. It honestly feels like you’ve stepped into another world… almost like Jurassic Park! It was only like $5 USD. The view is stunning and definitely a great spot for photos. The walk from the entrance is super easy — only about 5 minutes on a well-maintained path. There are restrooms near the front where you purchase your ticket. A must-see while visiting Dominica!

Only a short 10 minute hike to get to the slice of heaven. You can also hike to under the falls of course at your own risk.

Fun short walk through the jungle with a bunch of lizards. You can boulder your way to the base of the falls, but it isn't easy. Great view of the falls for those not wanting to climb. We were there for 45 mins and enjoyed climbing around and playing in the river. $5 entry fee.

Beautiful waterfall attraction. There us a 10 to 15 minutes light intensity hiking trail from the main parking area to the falls.. then you need to trek up some boulders and small pools to get closer to the actual falls. Breathtaking and spectacular

Beautiful must see waterfalls in Dominica.

We normally don't hire guides for day hikes, but we'd heard Boiling Lake requires it, so based on prior reviews here, Chadi Symes sounded like the obvious choice for the job. He was timely, knowledgeable, fun, and let us take our time getting there and back. We completed the whole hike in about 7 hours. This is definitely a Type 2 fun kind of adventure where you're going to work for it, but you'll feel accomplished afterwards. When Chadi says this is the most extreme hike in the Caribbean, he's not exaggerating. The scenery is like nothing I've ever seen before and I'm grateful to have been able to make it here before the cable car is operational.

DANGEROUS! Very dangerous hike. Technical and pretty traitorous conditions but ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL. The terrain is steep and slippery. You are either scrambling rocks or walking on logs. You definitely need to hire a guide as the trail is not marked. NO CELL SERVICE in most of the hike and NO search and rescue in the country if you fall and get hurt. (Someone slipped and died the day we did the hike) The route is about 8miles round trip and 2,600 ft elevation gain total but it will take around 5 or 6 hrs due to the conditions (ours was 7.5hrs because of the accident) With that said, it is well worth it. Absolutely beautiful views along the way with lots of hot water crossings which felt amazing to dip my feet in. Wear shoes that can be soaking wet and muddy for the entire hike. I wore reef shoes with socks and I was comfortable. Some people wear bathing suits and swim in the hot water from the volcano. The actual lake is not worth the hike because it’s steamy and you can barely see the water boiling 300 ft from the edge where you stand but the scenery to it is unbelievable. You can even see the lava flows from previous eruptions when you hike down into the crater. This is like no other hike and I would highly recommend it, but don’t hike it if you have balance issues.

I did the hike on Nov 4 2024. Was the most amazing hike ever. Took us 7 hours to complete. I went with the best Tour Guide. His name was Peter (Bushman Tours). He made me take a lot of pictures/videos, and he also knows a lot about plants. He charged me $120ec. It was tough. Started to had cramps in my legs in my way back. But it was worthy. There are plenty of beautiful plants on the road. Beautiful fresh rivers in the beginning and then hot rivers the closer you get.

The Boiling Lake hike in Dominica is a challenging but unforgettable experience with stunning scenery that takes you through rainforest, cloud forest, and the surreal Valley of Desolation. A guide is required—we went with Chadi, who expertly led our group of six, even navigating around a recent landslide. As seasoned hikers, we were a bit nervous from the reviews, but the hike is very doable for anyone in decent shape who’s comfortable climbing rocks, crossing rivers, and getting muddy—it’s ankle-deep in spots and definitely messy. We took about 8 hours with plenty of stops, and while there’s a lot of up and down both ways, the adventure and views make it 100% worth the effort!

YOU DO NOT NEED A GUIDE FOR THIS HIKE - and here’s why (with caveats). You may be told you need a guide for the hike to Boiling Lake: to find and follow the trail, or for reasons of safety, or because it’s compulsory. None of these is valid - and with the price running at c. $75 per person even in a group, it’s worth making an informed decision. The trail is very easy to follow. It is a single track through forest for the majority of the way, with literally no opportunity to turn off the route at all. There is a short section through the Valley of Desolation that requires you to use your eyes to follow the trail but as long as at least one of them works, you cannot get lost. That’s not to say it’s an easy trail to walk, as there are a fair few ups and downs and perhaps 60m total of potential scrambling, but it’s certainly dead easy to follow. You do not need a guide to find and follow the trail. It is also a safe trail. There are some scare stores about distinguishing between scalding or cool streams or pools - but the hot ones have giveaways such as steaming or indeed feeling warm. If you use your common sense, and wear stout boots, you’ll be absolutely fine. It is also worth considering whether the guides could do much for your safety anyway - given none of them carry rucksacks, they clearly don’t carry medical kits, and I seriously doubt any of them are trained first aiders. You do not need a guide to be safe on this trail as long as you take your own common-sense precautions: wear boots, take wet weather gear, carry water and snacks, perhaps take a hiking pole, take a med kit, download the AllTrails map beforehand and have a look at it to plan segments and timings, let people know where you are going. If you are used to hiking in the much bigger, much more dangerous, and much more serious mountainous conditions of Europe or North America, you’ll be absolutely fine. At the time of writing, it is absolutely not compulsory or ‘the law’ to take a guide. Nor are there plans to make it so. The guides will tell you this, but ask yourself: if it’s the law, how come the guides are unlicensed? How come the officials who check your site permits at the entrance don’t ask whether you have a guide? How come the official websites and tourist office don’t agree with them? And why would it be compulsory for this one hike but not for any others on the whole island (including the much more challenging Waitukubuli Trail)? It is not compulsory to take a guide. All that said, you may still want to take a guide, to show you interesting things, answer questions, and explain the geology and nature to you. There is absolutely merit in this. But it should be an informed choice made for your own reasons. That said - great hike and well-worth doing. Stunning scenery and fascinating geological points of interest.

A tough but epic hike! I did it solo, but I’d recommend a guide unless you’re confident in your survival skills. The first half is super muddy but manageable, while the second half is steep, slippery, and demanding—proper hiking shoes are a must! 🥾 Nike sneakers won’t cut it—your feet will be soaked within a kilometer. Took me 3hrs 5mins for 10km (996 HM) in one direction and starting below Trafalgar Falls. No internet connection about halfway to the lake, so if you twist an ankle, you won’t be able to call for help. A local guide told me that hiring a guide may soon be mandatory, so if you want to experience this wild beauty with fewer tourists, now’s the time—before the cable car arrives! 🚠 Other than that, the place is breathtaking! Safety first!

Boiling Lake on the island of Dominica is a place well worth visiting. The hike to it is an experience in itself, but it’s physically demanding, with steep elevations, and the return trip can be exhausting. It’s important to consider your fitness level before setting out. I chose to go with a local guide, and I recommend it to others – not only for safety reasons but also for the interesting insights about the area and to support the local community. If you enjoy adventure, Boiling Lake won’t disappoint. The view of the lake and the surrounding nature is definitely worth the effort!

Emerald Pool is one of the island’s true natural treasures. The site is absolutely beautiful, with lush surroundings and crystal-clear water that make the short hike totally worth it. It’s well maintained, and the path is designed for a self-guided tour, with informative signs that make the experience smooth and enjoyable. That said, it’s a bit bittersweet to know that such a national beauty has been privatized. Places like this should ideally benefit the government and the local people directly, not just private companies. Still, the care taken to preserve and showcase the site is undeniable. The water is stunning!! though definitely on the cold side! At the end of the visit, you’ll find several small shops, but most of them offer the same limited selection of items, and prices are on the higher end! something to keep in mind if you’re hoping to shop for souvenirs.

Beautiful view, well worth the short hike and the hundred or so stairs you'll need to climb. My understanding is that it will rain more days than not (it did when we visited), so bring rain gear. May be challenging for those with mobility issues.

Amazing site in Dominica. You can enter with a day pass or 7-day pass which is valid at other sites (like the Indian River). The water is cool and fresh. The path to the pool has been made way more accessible than in prior years but those with mobility issues might struggle.

The Emerald Pool is absolutely magical! What a beautiful waterfall and such a peaceful spot. I visited at the beginning of October, during the off-season, and it was perfect — hardly any tourists around and no cruise ships in port. I actually had the entire place to myself, which made it even more special. The walk to the pool takes about 10 minutes. The path is well-paved with steps, so it’s not difficult at all. There are restrooms located near the entrance where you get your ticket. Definitely a must-do when visiting Dominica!

Excepcional! Thea road is'ts perfect! And the environment is just amazing, the view points are worthy!! I'll come back

What a beautiful experience! Not to mention the Banana Leaf restaurant serving up great local bites! But back to Emerald Pool... I wish I could visit everyday! The water is a clear bluish green and the waterfall is breath taking. The cove next to the deeper pool is spectacular. One thing I thought was cool were the orange crabs seemingly hiding and basking in the sun. The short hike to the falls and pool was perfection because of the canopy coverage. This was just a spectacular moment of our trip. Emerald Pool is a must see in DA

Viewing terrace from top of the trail, short steep decent to the pool. Crystal clear water .

Titou Gorge was a highlight in Dominica! The water is cold but refreshing, and swimming through the narrow gorge surrounded by lush greenery is unforgettable. Not too crowded, fun, and the waterfall at the end makes it worth the trip. Dominica truly surprised me in the best way!

I stopped at Titou Gorge after visiting Trafalgar Falls, and I’m so glad I did — it’s absolutely breathtaking! The water is cold and crystal clear. We didn’t go all the way to the waterfall, but we went far enough back to see it deep in the canyon. Fun fact: a scene from Pirates of the Caribbean was filmed here! They charge you for a life vest that is required but it's only like $5 us and there was no charge to actually get into the gorge, just the rental of the Life fest. There are warm water fountains coming out as you walk in so if you're coming out of the gorge and you're cold you can go under there and warm up. It’s such a unique and amazing spot. I visited during the off-season at the beginning of October, and there was only one other person there besides me, so I basically had the whole place to myself. Definitely recommend a visit if you’re in Dominica!

Very nice excursion...they gave u lifejacket for extra pay...everytime they are taking care of u. They can take pictures...water is not cold and they have fitting room if need it. You can see very nice places all the way.

So so incredible. Amazing water attraction. Be sure to get a guide to traverse this attraction, it is beautiful but can be dangerous. Tube rentals and life jackets costed 10EC each and rental of a waterproof phone case was 10 EC. The tour guide is tipped at your discretion but they work hard so please leave a tip !

Really cool experience! Safer with a guide if you struggle with balance in rough waters. Doable without the guide. The guide provides a better experience with some history and fun facts along with tons of photos and videos of your experience.

100% worth the swim. We went as an excursion with Jungle Bay, and we were blown away. The whole activity takes around 30 minutes but the views from inside the gorge are amazing. I ended up using the phone case that I rented (5 USD) for photos. Must see attraction.

Great fun for everyone. They have everything you need. Yes, you need your own swimsuit. Short swim in to see the falls. It is not a cave, nothing to freak out about, the kids will love it. 100% safe.

Rocky beach 15 min drive from Roseau known for bubbling water. $EC entrance fee. Small bar and limited food options.. Rocky shore means water shoes would be beneficial. Easy snorkeling off beach, but to see the bubbling water you need to swim further out.

The reef is OK to visit, cost us 10euros per person return in a taxi from the harbour. Take your own snorkel gear and it's just the cost of the entry to get in. The beach is very stoney. Once in the water swim to the left and see the coral around the big rock. Benches and a small shop onsite, a few changing cubicles and plenty of people to take you diving or rent you gear.

Really special place, not just the bubbles, but also a lot of special marine lifes here, I saw at least five small rays on the sandy seabed and some Sea slugs that I've never see before ( I dive and snorkel quite a lot). Many fish, huge group of bluestripe snapper, my friend saw a huge sea turtle , although no beautiful corals, but I can still snorkel here for whole day by seeing the bubbles and creatures underwater 🫧 🫧 🫧.

Interesting, but not worth the distance if you have little time on the island. The beach is not good to hang out and the only attraction is the reef.

For snorkeling it's remarkable place. If you are coming by car, parking is arranged along the main road. Once you find the beach, reefs for snorkeling are all along the southern part (left if you are facing the sea). You can spend there hours. I was there roughly 2 hours before sunset and the beach was almost empty. I highly recommend shoes for swimming/diving because the stone really painful to walk on.

Not what they make it seem. The "beach" is nothing but rocks and the hike to see the bubbles is not worth the trip. I didn't even waste time taking pictures.

Highly recommend this place. The name champagne came from the phenomenon that tiny bubbles comes out from the bottom of the seat, which was cool to see that! Also the fish between the two sea rock has beautiful reefs and fish. If you don’t have snorkeling gears, no problem , It’s only 15 ec to rent, or shall I say donation to make. The rock beach reminds me of French Riviera’s rock beach, except here the rocks are bigger.

Fantastic national park on a peninsula consisting of two peaks. Great for hiking, several points of historical interest (Fort Shirley and the east and west batteries, as well as the ruins of the commandant’s residence and other buildings). Lovely nature. Beautiful views. And a cafe at the parking area. Highly recommended as a highlight of Dominica, where nature and views are plentiful but well-preserved historical sites are often not.

The restored Fort Shirley is very nice and a good history lesson. The short hike to the Commanders Quarters was worth it, seeing the forest absorbing the ruins. Take a guess what the golf ball sized spheres are in the lower barrel ceiling storage area. Pretty cool.

We had a wonderful private tour of the fort, learned a lot. Fort has been restored and is well worth the visit

Beautiful and historic location to bring the family on a DA vacation or for locals to reminisce on Dominica’s past. Well maintained, very walkable, and a tremendous view.

Do walk the trails! The fort is absolutely worth the visit, and the trails are simply "very natural". The view from the trails are absolutely breathtaking. After you do the trails and visit the fort, do enjoy the beaches close by!

Really loved this park! The fort was a neat piece of history to explore and the hikes around the park were a lot of fun with some great views! We bought our park pass here and I suggest getting one if you are doing a lot of exploring around the island.

Beautiful historic site.

Incredible hike! Easy for regular hikers, a good beginner climb for new hikers tjay are looking got a mini challenge. It takes anywhere from 1.5hrs to 2.5hrs total. When wet, the climb down to the falls is a bit precarious, so it is recommended to wear good hiking shoes. The view of the falls is well worth the trip!

Very beautiful trail. The water fall is the tallest we saw in the island. However, you can only view it from a platform.

Nice hike in, roughly 45mins but not difficult. If you have knee/ankle issues take it slowly as the ground is muddy/slippy and with lots of steps. The bird songs are beautiful as you hike and there are crabs and lizards around.The waterfall itself is beautiful,.one to the nicest we have ever seen with a nice pool you can swim in.

The hike in to the falls is moderate, but the last descent down to the falls is very slippery. Use caution and wear good hiking shoes. The falls are beautiful! Definitely worth the effort.

It’s a medium difficulty hike overall, but with some boulders to climb over towards the end. Worth it though!

Well maintained trail through mature rainforest with impressive buttress roots on huge kapok trees. Many birds including Jaco parrots, also saw land crabs and lizards. Note: at gazebo trail junction turn left to go down to falls.

The Middleham Falls are really a magic place! It's not just the Falls, it's the way to get there. It's amazing to step up the hill and having all these stunning and different views over the jungle. You got to be a bit trained to do the way with the countless wooden steps, but it's worth it!

This was an experience to remember the tour guide is very educational about the surrounding. Best part of my trip

A trip on the Indian river is highly recommendable and you will have a lovely time on the water in an amazing jungle. It’s definitely worth the trip and the money! Once you get there, you would need to buy a government pass at the gas station to be allowed on the river. In addition to that, you would need to pay for the boat ride. Be aware, lots of the men offering a boat ride are intoxicated and quite aggressive in selling their services. Just talk with them and you will smell whether or not they are intoxicated. We found in the end a nice guy to take the trip with (he goes by the name ‘Superman’ ;-)) and we enjoyed ourselves a lot! Have fun!

Azah was a great guide. Along with the river, he took us on many hikes. He kept all 6 of us prepared and safe on some challenging hikes. He knows the ecology and history of the island. It's worth it to hire a trained guide like Azah, especially for your first visit. Some trails are not well marked, and a guide really is necessary.

Surprisingly interesting boat trip up the lovely Indian River with Aza, a guide recommended to us and I know why. He was knowledgable and had a great eye for the abundant wildlife we saw: several species of birds, three species of crabs, mating iguanas and more species of plants than we could count. The trip exceeded our expectations and was a lovely, quiet, yet very interesting way to spend a couple of hours.

Totaly worthy it ! The guide Leon was very nice and the river is very beautiful. The little punch at the end of the river trip is perfect !

Very nice if you get a local guide from p.a.y.s they are very well informed about the history and surrounding nature

Was fun experience to get to see more of Dominica the guides were very friendly

Amazing!! There is some rough terrain but so worth the hike. We had a 10 hour day hiking and it was unforgettable! Prepare to be hot & wet! Must put this on your TO DO list while in Dominica!

Morne Trois Pitons was the first national park to be established in Dominica (in 1975). In 1997 it became a UNESCO World Heritage Site. At an elevation of 762 meters, Freshwater Lake in the park is the largest lake on Dominica and the source of the Roseau River. The lake sits in an old volcanic crater at the foot of Morne Macaque.

This place was absolutely stunning. One of the most beautiful things I’ve ever experienced. The guides were awesome. Definitely a bucket list adventure for everyone.

Incredible place, feels like you’re on an episode of National Geographic. I explored with tour guide Peter Green and he was amazing! Find him on Facebook at Peter Green Bushman Tours or get his info at the Discover Dominica office in Roseau.

Untouched rainforest, well built paths. Only for experienced hikers. Gorgeous viewpoints along the path. Lots of mud due to the daily rain.

Speaking of hiking, this is an unforgettable hike. We were all adventurously dirty but only an exciting and memorable hike will do such. When you make it to the tallest peak, the view is BREATHTAKINGLY AMAZING (If i am allowed to say it that way) Its a must for all who loves hiking.

Absolutely amazing and challenging hike to boiling lake. Totally worth the 6 hour hike

Wasn’t much of a Gardens. Was more like a park. Was sort of kept up. Few flowers or special plants. Had some old beautiful trees. Interesting walk up from the Cruise ship pier. No ticket required.

Large variety of trees and flowering shrubs from Caribbean and elsewhere. Some are labelled. While not highly manicured or a fancy design with formal gardens or statues and fountains, this is a free admission nice place to relax and explore. While uncrowded and spacious, we saw a good number of people enjoying the park, Moms with kids sitting on benches (wish I could sit here with my dear Mom), people recreating, etc. We enjoyed this park and checking out the fine trees young and old. It’s easy to walk here from your lodging in downtown Roseau. Dominica thanks for providing this nice garden.

I had an absolutely fantastic time on my excursion during my Carnival Cruise! Exploring Dominica was an incredible experience, filled with stunning views and fun moments. I wholeheartedly recommend this adventure to anyone seeking a memorable and exciting vacation experience!

This was an excursion from the cruise terminal in Roseau Dominica. the drive there was very interesting with busy narrow roads and some steep hills. Lovely trees and a parrot compound but not much of gardens with flowers, more of a park than anything, and of course the bus under a tree. The view from the Morne Bruce above was beautiful as was the view from the cruise ship.

We enjoyed the trail from the botanical gardens up to the top of Morne Bruce known as Jack’s Walk. See scan code in pics.Beautiful view of the whole city and ocean. Walk took us about 30 mins. with lots of stops to rest as it is quite steep ( we are in our 60’s ).

Our tour guide gave us great information about many of the plants. It is very interesting and worth a visit. It was so lucky there weren't any school children on the bus at the time the tree fell during a hurricane 😳

An array of beautiful plants. It's a most visit on your trip to Dominica. Nice place to have a picnic in the middle of town. Try it! Get some local food and just vibe out amo g the trees. Yes! It's free!

Dominica largest fresh water lake, perfect for cloud forest Hiking, there beautiful scenic trail around the lake.

Very cool, relaxing and amazing service food in the bar also the kayaking made the experience even better 😁

Very cold but other than that a great experience

A place where you feel more connected to nature than normal.

Wonderful scenery 👌

(Translated by Google) Superb lake accessible by car. Don’t hesitate to rent a kayak from Claudette, it costs $10 USD and it’s a magical experience. There is a magical calm that reigns on the lake. (Original) Superbe lac accessible en voiture. N’hésitez pas à louer un kayak auprès de Claudette, cela coûte 10$ USD et c’est une expérience magique. C’est un calme féerique qui règne sur le lac.

(Translated by Google) Great hike full of adventure at Fresh Water Lake! Located about 40 minutes from Roseau, the lake is easily accessible by car with ample parking available. Little advice: bring warm clothes, a waterproof windbreaker and good hiking shoes. The higher you go, the colder it gets, with wind and sometimes rain. The hike takes about 2 hours and the ground can be very slippery due to the mud. There are a few sections where you have to hold on to a rope to move forward, but with soil erosion, some poles have fallen, making these sections a little more technical. It is better to be used to hiking to fully enjoy it. But the effort is worth it! The scenery is magnificent, with lush vegetation all along the trail. We pass through a dense tropical forest where you can hear frogs and observe superb tree ferns, various palm trees and a great diversity of endemic plants. The view of the lake from above is impressive. A must-see hike for nature and adventure lovers 🥾! ‐---------------------------- Great adventure hike at Fresh Water Lake!

This was a great whale-watching trip! We saw eight whales. It was easy to book, in a convenient location in Roseau, and well worth the price. Thank you for a great whale adventure in Dominica!

Jerry and Jaden are amazing! We had a great time cruising and fishing. The boat has everything you need and Jerry has a wealth of knowledge about whales, fishing, and local history. I highly recommend booking a charter with Jerry if you’re in the area!

Captain Jerry is the absolute best boat captain, and definitely the whale whisperer. He can certainly find the whales and the fish. His knowledge of Dominica is second to none, both on the sea, and on the island. I have been on several trips with Jerry, ranging from an afternoon on the water, to much longer trips, and I'm always amazed at his level of experience and knowledge. If you want personalized service, on a great boat, with an amazing captain and crew, definitely choose Island Style Fishing and Jerry Daway.

Jerry and Jaden are amazing and lovely and we saw two gorgeous whales and dolphins jumping in the wake of the boat. We also saw turtles and went swimming in hot springs. A+!!! 10 out of 10.

SUCH an INCREDIBLE experience with Jerry and his crew swimming with Sperm whales. We only had a day unfortunately and we were super lucky to pick the best team out there because Jerry worked tirelessly to find us a whale. After 2.5 hours on the water we were able to jump in with a juvenile TWICE. The young whale was very curious and swam right up to us both times and the second time dove down and pooped at us on the way down :) Jerry uses a hydrophone to detect where the whales are and be able to pinpoint their location. Such an incredible once in a lifetime experience. I HIGHLY recommend this operation!

We spent $1400 to go swim with the sperm whales and all we did was drive up and down the island! The whales were further out and the captain did not want to take us out and even if we couldn’t find sperm whales he could have at least taken us snorkeling at Scott’s head since we were right there! He wasn’t friendly and didn’t seem like he had experience especially since everyone we spoke to on the island saw sperm whales! Plus he cut our tour short by two hours! So upset we came all the way here and didn’t see anything! A waste of $1400 and not worth your time! I definitely do not recommend! Plus saw his boat in harbor for the following four days we were at Fort Young so he definitely doesn’t have whale experience!

My family had THE most amazing afternoon with Jerry and his son Jayden on their boat. They were kind and respectful and showed us their beautiful island. We saw whales, dolphins, turtles and were taken all around the island. We felt safe and had a beautiful time. I highly recommend using this company.

I visited Champaigne Beach at the beginning of October, stopping by after Scott’s Head Point. I had heard this beach has amazing snorkeling, but unfortunately the waves were too rough, so no snorkeling was possible that day. Parking is along the side of the road, and you take stairs down to the beach. The beach itself has a cool little vibe, but everything was closed when I visited. Still worth a quick stop if you’re in the area, but check conditions for snorkeling first!

We came here as part of an excursion and it was great. The champagne bubbles effect is wonderful to look at, and it's a very nice snorkeling spot, where you can see lots of marine life (underwater photos still on my action cam). Totally worth it!

Unique spot to go snorkeling. it was a little rough getting in and out of the water as there are lots of rocks on the beach at the waters edge. However, the guides were very helpful in getting you in and out of the water and for pointing out the wildlife such as the stingrays in the water. The bubbles were amazing and very warm something you won't see anywhere else. but for the length of time it took getting in and out of the water and swimming to the actual champagne portion of the water, not sure it was worth it. The excursion included a drink on the beach and the weather was very accommodating, hot and sunny. There are 2 clean port-a-potties at the top of the hill. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone with mobility issues just getting down the steps to the beach was an issue.

Did this with our 8 year old and 10 year old and they loved it. Need to go a little past the jetty of rocks to see the bubbles. Very rocky beach, so bring proper footwear to walk on the rocks. Once you are in the water, no issue with the rocks. Decent amount of coral and fish, which the kids loved, but the bubbles are the real attraction here.

One of my favorite snorkeling spots!! The thermal bubbles or “champagne effect” were breathtaking. Unique coral/reefs and teaming with life. Owners of the little beach bar are so welcoming and friendly. The only downside are all the rocks! In response to past reviews there are currently 2 port-a-potties at the top of the hill now.

Champagne Beach itself is rocky. There is no bathroom and the changing area is fairly primitive. That said, Donny is great!! It was overcast & sprinkling the day we went out, but Donny was fun and knowledgeable. The reef was beautiful and there was a lot of sea life! Also- try the spiced rum!! (4 stars for lack of bathroom) This is a fun, laid back adventure!

A hidden treasure. Pam & Harry are fantastic hosts and really look after your every need. Lots a snorkeling to be had and plenty of sea life.

One of the few sandy beaches in Dominica but was lovely. Rented a Sun bed/lounger for $10 each. Great food on sale and fresh fruits also available. The shower facilities were not available when we were there as they had turned off the water but still lovely experience

Definitely visit Mero Beach! The black sand is stunning (wear water shoes—it gets hot), and the water is the perfect temperature and beautifully calm. Plenty of shaded lounge chairs, friendly local shops with fair prices, and such a relaxing vibe. We went twice and will absolutely return!

The beach is clean The sand is sugar fine. It’s hot. On a sunny day, you walk on the sand as if you’re waking on a scalding hot iron plate. The water is oil it the current is strong. Comparing with established beach destination in Asia, the amenities here are too basic. 2024.11.15

Larger beach, a lot to huts to shelter from the sun. I chose to come when it was raining because my time is pretty short. I recommend it, looks lovely and the coconut tree covered shaded would be awesome.

Nice clean beach, great sunset if you stay until the late afternoon, couple of bars serving drink and one serving food. Popular but never too packed, so definitely worth visiting

I think the volcanic sand was cool to see. The beach was nice but not breath taking. Overall still worth it

A fantastic friendly beach with a great chilled vibe, it's got a couple of different bars to get drinks and food. You can park easily and get beach loungers with parasols for shade, the sea is warm with a sandy bottom and the sunset is amazing. Absolute paradise.

Papillote botanical garden is the most special, artistic place we visited on our entire 7 day trip to Dominica. Through decades of love and devotion, Anne has created a magical environment where her passion for floral design in this incredible rainforest landscape creates a soothing and awesome vibe.

The gardens are gorgeous, and the baths are lovely, but Cuthbert and Anne are what truly make this place magical. I’m so glad they and their piece or paradise was part of our vacation.

Nice view of the waterfalls

A beautiful and large garden arranged on a hillside with a wide variety of native and non-native plants. There are two pools for bathing fed by geothermally sourced warm water.

The base facility was clean and nice. The walk up the steps I would call steep and uneven height. It's a beautiful spot, dense foliage.

The most beautiful thing I have ever seen!!! Pictures do not capture the full beauty of both the Mother and Father Falls! A must see and awesome place to visit

Beautiful! Definitely worth a visit if you are on the island. The two waterfalls and stream are picturesque. Local vendors at the entrance to experience the culture and food. One of my favorite stops.

Because it's a beautiful place to be

The trail needs some work and clearing. Please look out for the markings and watch your step.

It was epiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiic

One of the best culinary experiences in Dominica. The Batibou beach is beautiful with few visitors especially in the morning. You have to pay a 5 US$ per person entrance fee which is used for cleaning the beach and maintenance (the area is private land). Around midday they open the grill bar where they prepare on the spot some awsome rich tasting food (be prepared for some wait preparation time). Don't miss out the homemade ice-cream!

Wow! We came to Batibou expecting to only spend an hour here before going to a restaurant to eat. We ended up staying for 5 hours. A short drive down a rough 4x4 road allows you to park right on the beach. The clearly marked fee of $5 usd can be paid to the security people where you park. They provide a rundown of safety considerations like where to swim, and to avoid falling coconuts. Apparently it was a super busy day on Easter Sunday so we shared the beach with about 12 other people LOL. How is this beach so uncrowded? The people maintaining the beach and the women working the beach bar are all super friendly, and they do a great job maintaining the beach. Incredible beach, I'm not sure it can get much better. Clear water, great sand, shady palm trees. To top it all off, the food is good too. They cook using a coconut husk fire, which provides the ribs, fish, and pork with a great sweet Smokey flavor. It's served on wooden plates and banana leaves. They also have a good selection of drinks and rum concoctions. This was a great way to spend our last full day in Dominica.

The most beautiful beach I have ever been too!!!!! The restaurant and bar were never open. It's a $5 American dollar charge per person. If you park at the top it's about a 15min walk on rocks or if your car can make it down I recommend that. They have a shower and the toilets were pretty nasty.

Beautiful beach with an awesome meal ! You can access by car to the front, don’t need to park your car on the top of the hill. The access of the beach is about 13 EC per pers because is a private territory, but believe be, it worth it ! You can eat on the beach, freely with your own food or at the restaurant of the beach.

This is a beautiful beach and you can drive down if you have a off road capable vehicle. It's $5 each for the day. I loved the cheeky sisters beach BBQ and cocktails. They may not rock up until after 12 but lovely mix of food with smoky baby ribs or fish is worth waiting for. Thank you ladies 😊

In my opinion, this is the nicest beach on the island. It's secluded, with crystal clear clam water and a palm trees shade the beach. A few things to note. It costs $5 per person to access the road to go to the beach, you can drive down or you can walk, but you might as well drive since you have to pay regardless. Like most Caribbean island beaches at the moment, Batibou is covered in sargassum, no big deal, you just need to hop over it to get into the water. One issue though, is there is some still flowing in the water and small jellyfish like organisms do live in them so you may feel a light sting or two while you swim but its harmless and honestly, the beach is worth it.

This is just a really nice beach. When I went there was not any food there, just an attendant that would crack open a coconut for you to drink. You must walk about a mile down a dirt road or have a vehicle that can handle the drive.

Awesome view of Roseau. Great picnic area, with some slight upgrades it will be perfect!

Family enjoyed. 👪

Beautiful view of the South of the island

Amazing community

❤🙏

Great view of Roseau

Great viewww

If you like history this is a nice place. The fort itself has been restored beautifuly, but we love it mainly for the entire surroundings with plenty of paths to Explorer, ruins and nice views on Dominica and the sea

This is within the National park well worth a visit. Several interesting buildings with great views across the bay. When we visitee it was quiet. There is a function room/bar but it was quiet when we attended.

Fort Shirley is an absolute must-visit in Dominica! The historic site is beautifully restored and offers a fascinating glimpse into the island’s rich past. Walking through the fort, you really get a sense of the history and the role it played in the Caribbean. The views are breathtaking — overlooking Prince Rupert Bay and the surrounding hills, it’s one of the best vantage points on the island. The grounds are well kept, and there are plenty of spots to stop, take photos, and simply enjoy the scenery. What makes the experience even better is the tranquil atmosphere. Unlike many tourist attractions, Fort Shirley feels peaceful and authentic, allowing you to explore at your own pace. Whether you’re a history lover, a nature enthusiast, or just looking for a stunning place to spend a few hours, Fort Shirley will not disappoint. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Dominica!

Looks more modern building than a fort. The informational signs appears to have more history than the actual buildings. I would still recommend visiting, you get a nice water view. A cute cat, probably a descendant of one of the former fort inhabitant. Some pretty birds, a lot of lizzards, beautiful trees, and thankfully on my way out, I saw one of the signs that said there are snakes around. I walked briskly outside.

Very nice place for easy hike with interesting historical and biological facts. Some view points were covered by high trees, so there was no view at all, but that's the nature.

A Great historical site that dates back to the days of Christopher Columbus. Well taken care of and just a great place to visit. Cost per day entry is $5 U.S. per person or $12 for a weeks pass which gets you into all the other National Parks including the famous Trafalgar Falls.

Pretty good hike up the hill towards the fort. The fort is very interesting on how the past handled war.

It's worth the entry fee if you plan on spending a longer time swimming here. It's a very short walk to the falls, with several steps. Minimal roadside parking

Jacko Falls is another beautiful waterfall in Dominica! It’s super close and an easy, short walk with just a few stairs up and down. The waterfall itself is stunning, and while the water is definitely cold, it’s still such a refreshing and peaceful spot to visit. This was the third waterfall I stopped at during my time in Dominica, and I enjoyed every single one. Each has its own charm, and Jacko Falls is no exception — definitely worth the quick stop only $5 USD to get in!

Beautiful. Concrete steps and railings...about 76 steps down to falls. Large flat uneven rocks from bottom of stairs about 25' to the falls. You can swim. Not an easy ingress or egress, but refreshing. Worth the effort! Recommended.

Very beautiful waterfall just a few minutes walk from the roadside. The falls are private so you must pay a fee to enter, believe it was EC$7. Follow a set of steep steps down to the falls, super easy and quick. A bit rocky at the bottom but clear gorgeous water.

Was amazing place. It's very safe place. Take your water shoes and your comfortable clothes to enjoy it.

Beautiful spot, it’s secluded but free for everyone to go to. A lot of steps to go down, but at the end it is stunning, you can swim there, we saw young school kids chilling with music that was good to see.

Beautiful waterfall short path

I wanted to visit this small "factory" as I was very interested in finding out how chocolate is made! They charge 20EC per group for a brief 10 minute tour. Very reasonable if there's ten of you but as a solo traveller it seemed a little steep. I felt that the lady showing me round was rather bored of saying the same thing, but she was precise and informative. The choclate bars for sale are expensive at 20EC (£5.80). However I can appreciate why, due to the lengthy process involved and it is good chocolate. I would have bought more if the entrance fee hadn't been so much!

A must -visit for Chocolate Lovers! I learned so much from Julia, the owner of the chocolate factory. After a quick tour of the facility, you’ll get to taste their products—not just chocolate bars, but also chocolate herbal tea and even vinegar made from cocoa! Yes, they use every part of the cocoa bean to minimize waste, which speaks to Julia and her partner’s commitment to sustainability. Don’t hesitate to ask questions—Julia is incredibly knowledgeable about the chocolate-making process and the industry as a whole. The visit costs 20 EC, and each chocolate bar is also 20 EC. Payment by card is accepted. I’ve seen some reviews mentioning the prices, but instead of focusing on getting the cheapest option, think about the quality and craftsmanship behind each product. This factory operates on a small scale to protect forests and wildlife, follows environmentally friendly, low-waste practices, and uses 100% natural ingredients in their flavored chocolates. The biggest challenge? Choosing which chocolates to take home! My favorite was the 70% dark chocolate with fleur de sel from Brittany, France—a true testament to quality! Highly recommend this experience for anyone who appreciates fine chocolate and ethical production.

Really wonderful experience! Very inexpensive for 2 of us to tour the facility and chocolate making process, as well as sample as much chocolate as we wanted. Very cool to see the process from fermentation to drying to mixing with sugar and flavorings. I imagine the tours are seasonally dependent - in late March they were producing lots of chocolate! Locally sourced chocolate is typically expensive, I felt that the prices here were completely reasonable considering how locally sourced all of the ingredients were. This is a must try while in Dominica, especially if you're a chocolate lover!

Great spot and toured then bought chocolate. Family concern with settled French generations running it with local help. Fascinating and informative. What’s not to like after a trek into wilds of a beautiful Caribbean island nation and sampling local fare.

Great pit stop on the way to the airport. We picked up a ton of the chocolate bars to sample each flavor. Great place

The European owner/chocolate maker was only interested in acknowledging the huge cruise ship tour groups. He saw me, and glanced quickly, then looked away. No hello, or any greeting whatsoever. Not at all welcoming for the independent traveller. Shame. Anyways, sampled sorts I presumed I might like. Bought cocoa powder, mint chocolate, and milk chocolate. Extremely expensive for what it is. $45 EC. Almost like Fortnum & Mason prices. Not the best chocolate I have tried, but pleasant enough. The flavours of the variants I tried shone through. Unfortunately did not see the actual making, but did see the steps of how its processed, and the workshop. A very long journey by local buses to get to Calabishi, and then a fair walk.

I've had chocolate from different countries all over the world, but THIS chocolate was some of the best I have ever had abroad! The lemongrass chocolate bar was divine, and the chocolate covered dried fruits definitely make great souvenirs (I got the chocolate covered ginger). The lady who was working there was very friendly, letting us try all the chocolates and gave us a small tour of the factory. The owner was also there and talked to us. Definitely would recommend stopping by, especially if you have a sweet tooth!

The day we went, it was raining and a bit chilly, so we didn't swim, but should have loved to on a warmer day. We parked in front of Spanny's shop and paid $5/ person. We could've driven in and parked in the small parking lot, but preferred to walk- it's only about a 15 min walk from his shop. The walk in is really pretty, lots of flowers and beautiful greens. Several stairs take you down to the Falls, where there's a nice viewing area, and it's easy to get down into the water. We were lucky- there was only 1 family when we arrived. On our way out though, 2 for tour busses arrived, which would've been a miserable experience to be a part of. I would suggest checking Cruise ship port days and scheduling your most popular destinations for small ship days.

A short 10 min walk to the falls. If you travel by van, it can go in a bit and then you start the walk. Be sure to purchase tickets at the shop on the main road. If you are lucky enough to be the only folks there, it's a beautiful place for a bath.

Spanny Falls was a fun little hike. We did the extended hike to Penrice Falls and as long as you were appropriate footwear and don't mind using the rope to get up the embankment I suggest going to see it as well. Also stop in and see Linda at the little gift shop! She was the sweetest lady and had a ton of suggestions for things for us to do around the island!

Breath-taking sight and rephreshing water. There is also a rope that leads to a second water fall.

Short and easy walk after you pay 5usd/person entry fee, really worth it! Magical place with amazing emergy, wild and calm at the same time. And as a bonus you may probably be there alone, as it is not very frequently visited.

Walking distance is easy .the walk to the location is very relaxing hearing the birds the water is so clear and clean and cold too but uts worth it

Really beautiful waterfall. A 3min drive off the main road up a single lane driveway. Parking for around 5-8 vehicles. An easy walk of less than 5mins to get to the falls. Water was clear. I was told I had to pay EC$10 to enter because to access the falls I had to use private land. Something i was unaware of before hand.

Don’t be like the folks we encountered wearing sandals and flip-flops, tripping and sliding out of their footwear. This is a good hike with a rock-heavy, slick trail. Bridges also tend to be slippery. Good elevation gains, fantastic views, and a breathtaking destination. Always prepare for rain and be mindful of expected trail & weather conditions. The streams can rise extremely fast and flow over the trail. Some trashy folks had left litter at the viewing platform that we cleaned up - just pack out what you pack in! The viewing platform was in disrepair as of February 2025 with broken through boards and some more ready to give way, so exercise caution if attempting to use it.

One the most remarkable breathtaking sites in Dominica. Very beautiful and mysterious!

The trail took about an hour, but the great view and pristine water made it worth it.

Beautiful lake, a bit challenging path

The hike to this lake Is magnificent and not difficult to do. The hike is moderate and there are so many beautiful view of the mountains and valleys. The lake is almost mysterious like as if it's resembles a place in prehistoric times. It's a wonderful place to take a swim but the lake is very deep. A wonderful and tranquil place to relax at peace and chill.

What an amazing cloud forest hike, hearing the mountain Whistler Bird. The hike is about 45 minutes one way.

Fresh clean peaceful

When we came here, the restaurant was out of most of the items on the menu. A question would be answered with "let me find out" and a disappearance of 15-20 minutes. When the food arrived, it was decent, some parts edible and some parts better. Serving sizes are generous. Service is standard Caribbean time slow / relaxing pace. Room is simple, not decorated nor elaborate.

Great place. Name of restaurant did not match but we found it. Food choices were varied but a few of the menu items were unavailable. Everything was fantastic. I would highly recommend and would most definitely return. The staff were super friendly and provided excellent service.

Third time trying to eat at this restaurant and we succeeded First time it was closed when it was supposed to be open, yesterday we called and they said they are open and when we got here we were told that they are not serving any food because they don't have any waiters...so finally we made it. The waiter seems to be doing most of the work whilst the waitress seems to sit around a lot and rolls her eyes when asked by her colleague to do something. Many of the items on the menu were missing. We had the fish cakes to start and goat curry for main, both very good. The card machine was out of order apparently, so we had to pay cash. Very interesting experience.

Don't go here. Tons of reviews say they will tell you they "don't have that" from the menu. That's true. They didn't have at least 5 things and it's a SLIM menu to begin with. I had to disagree with my bill and have it corrected 3 times. First- they charged me for sides that the waitress stated were part of the meal I picked (I asked to make sure before I ordered them because I didn't need any sides) Then- they told me that the bill was higher because the prices on the menu had increased. They told me AFTER I ordered AND ate the food. Then- they tried to charge me for alcohol in my fruit punch when there wasn't any. Being told the "prices are higher than the menu shows" after eating the food was absolutely UNEXPECTABLE. They corrected the bill, after I made it clear I was paying the printed menu price and only for food that I had ordered based on the menu. The food was mediocre and the service was less than mediocre, and I'm not picky with either of those items.

I’m not sure if I should be posting to the Old Stone Grill and Bar or The Great Old House (same place). The name has no effect —the food is lovely, the balcony gets the perfect breeze, and the service is helpful and friendly. Some folks note that they are often out of things on the menu. It’s an island and the food is fresh. You get what’s good, and it is. Be prepared for large portions. The mains come with two sides and that would be plenty for me. That said, the appetizers were also very good and plentiful. Love the fish cakes! Spicy fries are a treat too.

This place is by far one of the best restaurants I have eaten at on the island. You will not be disappointed. I mean service is great, the food exceptional. It is not a fast food restaurant so if you are looking for a quick meal, this is not the place for you. If you are looking for culinary experience--you have found a gem in this place. Friendly staff and that goes for the owner Steve as well. I ate here for the 1st time in March and knew that when I visited again I would return. Tonight I did with my mom and brother. We were not disappointed.

We had mixed bag, the curried goat was good the shrimp was ok but nothing special, they added a 25% service charge, which was crazy

We didn't eat, the rum drinks were amazing 😍 what a way to end our day from an amazing tour through your beautiful Island . The guys singing were so good. Loved this little place.

One of the best bars and very close to port. Live music. Plenty of seats. Great atmosphere. Very laid back approach to serving drinks. Advise to drink bottles as seems to be quicker to be served if they know that other than cocktails

Independence Day in Dominica! Actually, a burned out building converted into a bar. Very nice place for a beer and getting out of the rain. LOTS of different spirits for the adventurous! You should stop by!

Spent a week in Dominica. Had to eat here as it’s one of the only places in Roseau open on Sunday. Prices not transparent, and even with the overcharging that was not clear (sides are extra and all charged in random amounts on each meal; i.e., fries cost 5EC more on some meals but 10EC more on others?!), we were still overcharged in the final bill. Waitress just shrugged when her math was off by 50 EC ($20 USD) from the USD total. Wouldn’t have chosen it since it’s right next to the cruise port, but trusted our hotel guide. Should not have and can’t recommend for you unless you can’t do simple math or don’t care about being hosed by untrained staff.

Ambience, drinks, food and service is A+.

Excellent interior. I have been a couple of times there. Don't miss it. Coming to Dominica/Roseau without drinking something there is wasted travel. Unique building without upper level, semi damaged but very charming. 10+

Surprising breakfast spot! Excellent coffee (fresh roasted here) and breakfast sandwiches (egg, cheese, cucumber, tomato, lettuce, sauce, fresh bun) and fresh juice smoothies! Everything is really clean in the morning so you wouldn’t know it is a busy bar in the afternoons.

That’s place is known no locals! Food is very delicious and cheap! Do not expect nothing fancy inside but I came there for good food and I got it! I liked the service provide by nice woman - fast and nice! We took chicken curry 🍛 plus drink and we spent 21 dollars for all!! Highly recommend !

Best local restaurant in Roseau. Come during breakfast for their “Creole Breakfast”. The codfish fritters (accras) are also my favorite and only $1ECD each! Kind staff and great value. Will definitely return!!

Best breakfast spot in town !!!! Will definitely eat there again. I'm really upset I found this place sooo late. To update: I came back for lunch. This spot is a keeper. Plus they have barons pepper 💃

Friendly staff. Good local fruit juices and meals.

Cool ac plus awesome smoked chicken callalou. This is a must on a Saturday. They also make and sell a rum punch that does not disappoint.

Good local food. Cash only no AC on or fan. Plan to wait. As has been common during our stay even a short menu will have selections that aren’t available. The main pork was tender with flavorful gravy. Rice had beans salad and vegetables.

My go to place for lunch these days. I usually call to order and usually my order is ready by the time communicated to me. The food is always tasty and never disappoints. I would like to see payment cards being accepted and perhaps some parking (reserved) for patrons. All in all a fantastic place for food.

DETAILED DIRECTIONS: park before the big concrete water tank, walk up the road past the water tank u will see a faint trail it curves to the right pretty soon after that u will walk past a green gate covered in vines and there will be a fork in the trail, go to the right there is a small garden, straight thru the garden the trail picks up again to the left of the big coconut tree. The trail is barely visible, and it goes into the bush. It becomes a little more visible once u enter the bush, but you have to walk thru a "bush" first. This is the most difficult stretch. It is very steep downhill until it hits the river. Once the trail runs into the river, straight across the river, the trail picks up again. At this point, we marked the trail by stacking rocks so we could find it on our way back, which turned out to be helpful. You will walk on the right side of the river in the forest. This trail will get closer to the river at the end, follow it until you are walking on the river rocks, and then when u reach the water, straight across, the trail picks up again. Stack some rocks to mark it. You will walk in the forest to the left of the river. This part is also difficult. This trail will end with a steep decline into the river where there is a small pool and a big fallen tree hanging over the river with vines dangling from it. This is maybe 3/4 of the way, and the river now becomes the trail. Just follow it upstream and enjoy. I recommend a guide to support the locals, and they can spot early signs of flooding. You can't escape this place quickly.

NOT SKETCHY (see previous review) unless you happen to be a scared white person who should probably not venture outside of the resorts or cruise ships anyway. Difficult hike but beautiful like the rest of the island. We had to turn back (being unfortunately a bit out of shape) but had no trouble finding the trail. As another reviewer mentioned, turn right after the water tank.

Beautiful waterfall, the access is difficult, but with a little effort you will find the way. we went down from the left, and then along the riverbed. The road outside the water was very overgrown.beautiful waterfall, the access is difficult, but with a little effort you will find the way. we went down from the left, and then along the riverbed. The trip took aproxmerely an hour and a half.

Easy to moderate hike to another one of Dominica's finest waterfalls👍👍

Walk to sari sari waterfall was very challenging, but onces at the top we were proud to do it . Be careful , don't swim close to the waterfall .

We are/were inexperienced. The hurricane has turned this into a boulder puzzlers delight, or nightmare. Took us two hours to get to the falls. Bring someone taller than 5'5" foot to help pull the others up. Look for stacked rocks and footprints for clues to the "path".

Tough hike but such natural beauty you will be glad you did it!

Off the beaten track, a lovely quite remote bay front peppered with small bars and a dive center, working fishing village, if you want to relax and enjoy fantastic scenary this is the place to come

Enjoyed staying here during a scuba trip. The staff were friendly. Food service was very slow at the bar and sometimes the restaurant, but you have the option of ordering lunch and dinner ahead of time. The breakfast buffet had plentiful choices and was very good. There are a lot of stairs, but elevator service covers much of it. The scuba shop was excellent. Good safety, dive site briefings, and divemasters.

I stayed here last week, 8th through the 13th. The staff was so professionly warm and friendly. My room was beautiful, in the newer building. The room cleaners did a fantastic job. All hotel staff were polite and warm, so I would say Fort Young has a great professional training program. Great location that is close to everything, walking distance to a lot in town. There is the pier access for diving and just sitting on a chair at the hotel front is pretty relaxing!

Great location — just a short walk to the ferry station, markets, and town, which makes it very convenient. The recent renovations are well done and give the property a fresh, inviting feel. The staff is also friendly and welcoming. On the downside, breakfast is $25 for a continental-style selection, which feels a bit steep for what’s offered. We also waited about an hour and a half for food ordered at the bar (tacos and quesadillas), and when it finally arrived it was only average. For this type of food, faster service would be expected. Overall, the location and renovations stand out, but the food pricing and wait times could definitely improve.

My husband and I visited Dominica with friends and stayed near Fort Young Hotel — we ended up eating here for brunch, lunch, and dinner multiple times during our stay in Roseau. The food was consistently excellent and beautifully presented. We also treated ourselves to massages — HIGHLY recommend! We requested firm pressure and actually received firm, which was amazing. To top it off, we attended a solo art exhibition at the hotel, and the space and artwork were both stunning. Everything about our experience was relaxing, polished, and memorable. Absolutely worth visiting!

My best friend and I stayed there and we loved it so much! The staff at the front desk, breakfast area, and bar were all very welcoming and helpful. Everything at breakfast was amazing, especially the hot bakes and hot cocoa tea! 😍 We’ll definitely be coming back. 🤏🏾

Absolutely wonderful location for access to everything and prime location for the WCMF. The rooms have been renovated and are comfortable and spotless. Amenities include a pool with an ocean view, a gym with sunset yoga classes, ping pong and foosball table, and complimentary welcome drinks. My only disappointment was with the food. The room service was pretty inconsistent and the food was bland. I wish they offered local food options on the menu.

Stayed here for 4 nights and had the best time! The room was clean, quiet, and cold with a beautiful view of the ocean. The hotel has a very open air layout while providing plenty of protection from the elements. The location sits nicely close to town and within walking distance of a couple of markets and restaurants. The staff were extremely friendly. I've never met such nice people. My favorite part about this hotel was the piña coladas. Hands down the best I've ever had....and I've been a lot of places. This hotel had all the comforts while still maintaining that touch of luxury. The dive crew is also exceptional. The dive master was very skilled at his job and the best guide I've had to this date...and I've been on a lot of dives. The captain was also very accomplished, and we had the pleasure of getting to see whales thanks to him. The only thing slightly negative about our stay was that the toilet in our room would run about every 15 minutes or so. Kept us up the first night, but we figured out how to quiet it by closing the water valve next to the tank. Despite that, it was a magical stay. I would recommend.

I booked a short trip for my solo wellness retreat to celebrate my 29th birthday here. I’ve traveled to many special places around the world, but Jungle Bay stands out as one of the most extraordinary experiences I’ve ever had. This resort is more than just beautiful, it’s deeply magical and spiritual. From the moment I arrived, I felt peace, warmth, and genuine care in every interaction. The staff are exceptional, not just professional, but truly personal. I had a private one-on-one yoga session with the general manager Laura and that was incredibly grounding and relaxing. Joanne and her team went above and beyond to make my birthday celebration so special. They decorated my table beautifully and made me feel so cared for. And Stacey was an absolute delight, I met her by chance while exploring the property, and she generously gave me a spontaneous garden tour, sharing so much knowledge and passion for the land. Besides the beautiful ocean suite and delicious daily fresh food, everything here feels intentional, from the lush surroundings to the kind hearts behind the scenes. Jungle Bay isn’t just a resort, it’s a sanctuary for the soul. You will leave this place feeling like a different person, it moves you in ways that are hard to put into words. It reminds you of humanity, connection, joy, and kindness in this world. Jungle Bay is the prime example of what hospitality should be and I cannot wait to come back! 🌿

The service was exceptional. The food was delicious. The ginger and lime juice was oh my God so refreshing. I had 3 glasses. This place is just fantastic. Will definitely visit again

Jungle Bay was an excellent value! We stayed in one of the villas facing the ocean — the view was absolutely spectacular and offered wonderful privacy. The room was simple yet very comfortable and beautifully maintained. The restaurant was great; we enjoyed both breakfast and dinner, and everything was fresh and flavorful. We also visited the spa and each had a fantastic massage — the perfect way to end our stay. We’ll definitely return to Jungle Bay, and next time we plan to stay longer. Highly recommend this peaceful, rejuvenating escape!

Absolutely amazing stay at Jungle Bay! The views from BOTH pools are incredible, the rooms are cozy, everywhere smells and looks and feels fantastic, and the food is tasty too. Plus, all the staff are exceptional and make you feel so welcomed from the start. Couldn’t have asked for a better stay. Thank you!!

Laura the manager, and the entire staff are some of the kindest and most attentive people I've ever met. The place is super beautiful and has a view of the ocean with beautiful sunsets. I recommend everyone to stay here.

Tucked into the lush, emerald hills of Dominica’s southern coast, Jungle Bay is more than a resort—it’s a full-body immersion into nature’s wild elegance. The eco-luxury villas, perched on stilts and connected by winding stone paths, feel like treehouse sanctuaries, each with sweeping views of the Atlantic and the rainforest canopy. Mornings begin with birdsong and the scent of tropical blooms, and the rhythm of the day is set by the rustle of palm fronds and the distant crash of waves. The staff radiates warmth and authenticity, making every guest feel like part of the island’s heartbeat. Adventure pulses through Jungle Bay’s daily offerings. Guided hikes lead you deep into Dominica’s volcanic interior, where trails wind through fern-covered ravines and across bubbling streams. One standout is the trek to Middleham Falls, a towering cascade that rewards your effort with a cool, misty plunge pool at its base. Another favorite is the hike to Sari Sari Falls, where you scramble over boulders and wade through rivers to reach a hidden waterfall thundering into a jade basin—raw, exhilarating, and unforgettable. For a gentler pace, the resort’s own nature trails offer botanical wonders and panoramic lookouts without leaving the grounds. Water lovers are spoiled for choice. Jungle Bay organizes canyoning adventures through narrow gorges, where you rappel beside waterfalls and leap into crystal-clear pools. Kayaking along the Rosalie River offers a serene counterpoint, gliding past mangroves and herons. After a day of exploration, nothing compares to soaking in the resort’s cliffside infinity pool or indulging in a volcanic mud wrap at the spa 🧖‍♂️. Jungle Bay isn’t just a place to stay—it’s a place to awaken. Whether you're chasing waterfalls, trekking through cloud forests, or simply watching the stars from your private terrace, every moment here feels like a rediscovery of wonder 🌿.

Visited for Creole day lunch. It was raining and was thankful they had golf carts to take you from parking lot to dinning area. Greeters upon entry were very pleasant. Decor is gorgeous - definitely keeping on island theme. Food was good but wasn’t hot (note: we did arrive at the last 1/2hr of the buffet lunch but as long as there is food left it should be kept at temperature). Table service was not great, had to get the attention of at least two servers to get something to drink. One person in my party never received her juice. Mind blowing view of our beautiful island.

Small but functional airport. Limited number of flights and destinations. We used the online pre-entry immigration and customs declaration which was easy to do and we experienced relatively short wait immigration times for entry and professional and friendly service. There is no immigration check when departing (like the USA), just the usual security screening which seemed thorough and quick. Some shops available in departure waiting area. Departure gate seats were available and typical. Only negative here is having to pay $80 US per couple to go to or from Roseau and most everywhere else, due to very limited public bus van service (unlike some other islands where you can catch the public bus). Having time, we walked the 10 to 15 minute walk outside the airport to the main highway (got some fun incredulous looks from people as we strolled out) where buses sometimes pick up people, as evidenced by locals and airport workers waiting and confirming yep you can catch a bus here sometime. The walk was pleasant and easy, but we stood with locals waiting for about an hour with no bus passing by in the late afternoon, so due to some looming rain and no shelter and my desire to stay happily married, we caved in and paid the $80 for private taxi bus. We jokingly wondered whether the public bus was asked to stand by hidden and waiting for the crazy tourists to cave in so the locals could get where they needed? 😂 Probably not, think it was the later hour that reduced the bus frequency. Anyways we enjoyed conversing with nice folks as we waited, worth a try I guess. Anyways all good here and no surprises. My last video here shows the construction of the new airport well underway a bit north of current airport.

The staff are so kind and helpful! I’d say the friendliest airport staffs I’ve ever met in the Caribbean! And not because I’m from there 😉

If I could give this place 0 stars I wouldn’t hesitate. The airport is functional I suppose so it can have the star for that. The security staff are the most despicable bunch of airport staff I’ve ever encountered after over 20 years of travelling across the world - these are the WORST by a clear mile. They try to intimidate you and enforce ridiculous rules that they have clearly made up. There were three of us in the ‘queue’ and we were all one travelling party. The man put on his shades and tried to act like an army sergeant demanding we stand in a straight line in a specific place or he won’t look at our passports. I was then told I had to remove my headscarf. I asked for a female to search me and was refused. He asked if I wear it for faith reasons to which I responded yes and he berated me mockingly saying ‘what religion is that then?!’ Which is NONE of his business. He clearly made an assumption based on the fact I was in shorts and a t shirt because he was far too ignorant to understand that multiple faiths wear a headscarf. I had been through passport checks and everything with the scarf on, so my identity was nowhere close to concealed yet this man MICKEY MARTIN decided he would embarrass me to prove a point. This is only one incident that happened here at this airport There are about 12 security officers in a security area the size of a bathroom all staring and standing about doing nothing while MICKEY MARTIN and the other guy with his shades bullies people. They are all inconsistent too. My mum wasn’t asked for her boarding pass but I was. My friend had to unpack her entire bag for no reason, no reason was given. This was clearly another pathetic bullying tactic. When asked how to complain about Mr Martin, I was told smugly that I can complain to his supervisor who was standing there watching the whole thing. That’s good considering I’ll be complaining to the Dominica Air and Sea Ports Authority about him and the others. Multiple airport staff told me these people get complained about all the time. I’ll make sure that I go as high as possible to complain. Absolutely DISGUSTING!!!!!!!!!!!!

Officials are treating you as if you were a thug if you are a man and traveling solo : luggage was every time fully checked and you bet it’s a mess when it’s over. Seemed like they would have loved to find some illegal stuff in it. Keep that in mind, been there for more than ten check ins and outs, seemed like bribe is what everyone over there is waiting for… Not only at the airport thou, must be the government setting the trend. They should live by the rule that it’s the visitor they’re supposed to be welcoming in that still so beautiful country.

The airport is small but everything seemed to work efficiently. Selection of dining options and shops are very, very limited.

There is no good connection to Roseau, the capital city. Pretty much the only choice is to get there by taxi which can be really costly, is about an hour far. They mentioned something about a bus, but they told me I was too late to get one (I arrived at 3pm). I understand that there are not many people coming to that airport, so they cannot serve you by regular public transport, but there is definitely room for progress regardless that.

Cute airport but Be careful with the security checks on your way out. They had a terrible attitude and They seized our liquids for no reason. This is not representative of the island and a poor impression to give visitors on their way out.

Morne Bruce Viewpoint is a beautiful spot overlooking Roseau. We hiked here from the cruise port—about 40 minutes, passing through the botanical gardens. It’s hot, so bring water and sunscreen. With maps and internet it was easy to navigate. Stunning views, and we met cruise passengers who came by paid tour.

Awesome view of the city from here. Take the jacks walk trail from the botanical gardens instead of the tour bus!

Very good (and high ) viewpoint to look down on the Capital City of Dominica - Roseau. Lots of vendors selling their wares and lots of tourists taking pictures with their cruise ship. Good for the view - just keep your visit short . Or go here for sunset !

This is my favorite spot on the island --easily accessible, natural, scenic, quiet (most times) and just a place I enjoy going to be alone, pray and relax.

Last stop before we left for the airport! Great view, wonderful island. Planning on returning.

Great place to visit, with some very hospitable people. And the view was amazing. Nature at it's finest...

On a trip to the Botanical Gardens, I decided to venture to the Jack's Walk Trail. The trail started off great, however the higher up you go, the harder it is. It's about a 20 minute hike. The view was fantastic all the way up. At the top you would see the details about the fort on a sign and the very beautiful religious monument. At the top, you could choose to go down the trail or you can walk past the monument about 5 minutes from the fort and you would see a road that takes you back down to Roseau.

As many have already said Red Rocks is worth a visit for the stunning views. Park at Red Rock cuisine with its decidedly pirate theme, who charge a small 5EC entrance fee. Its definitely worth stopping off for a drink afterwards. There's also a restroom.

Don’t miss this unique formation along the ocean near Calibishie. It is a short walk to the Red Rocks from the parking/entrance. Well worth the small fee charged to access. Beautiful views of the rocks, nearby Calibishie and points eastward. Don’t miss! Highly suggest a stop at Red Rock Cuisine before or after for delicious food and fun & friendly atmosphere!

Red Rocks was a gorgeous lookout and photo opportunity. The viewpoint is a quick 5 minute walk down from the restaurant bar and a charge of 2USD or 5ECD is required per person. We were the only ones there and it was amazing - it was the kind of surface that could’ve been slippery if wet so wear appropriate footwear if necessary!

One of the best spots on the entire island. Humbling and awe inspiring. It's a fairly easy drive, eventually you get to a gravel road through the trees to get to the cute eating spot, the a walk to the rocks. If you're lucky you'll meet Roxy the dog of the red rocks.

The Red Rocks in Dominica are a very cool and unique natural attraction. The soft, rust-colored ground creates a striking landscape, and there's even a small cave you can explore. The views are absolutely beautiful! There is an entrance fee, which you pay at the restaurant near the entrance, but it's well worth it for the experience. We spent about 20 minutes there

Nice view from the rocks. 2 us entrance fee to use the well maintained path. Less than a 5 minute walk.

Beautiful place with great views of the water. Access is very easy not a lot of walking to get there. I loved that it wasn’t very touristy, I was the only one there and basically had the whole place for me to enjoy! Awesome place to watch the sunset in Dominica.

Amazing place, we took our dinghy there & had a couple beers & enjoyed the healing waters & bubbles. Owner was super friendly & explained how he dug out the “pool” area & there was a volcanic crater which was responsible for the bubbles.

Mr bubbles! What a find!! Took the local bus here from rousea- rented some snorkels (saw turtles!!) and had many beers! Could spend days here. The hot bath water is so fun! Thanks mister bubbles!!!

We came here as a stop on a tour. As part of that tour this was a fine quick stop for a drink at the beach and dip toes into hot water exiting at the beach thus “Bubble Beach spa”.

Mr Bubbles is such a welcoming and kind man, whenever you go you feel like family. He gave us a brief background on the natural phenomenon that happens on the beach and gives you instructions on how to enter and be safe in the water because it does get hot. It's a very therapeutic and relaxing place and a must visit if you're in Dominica. Relax, have two drinks, take a dip and enjoy the sunset while you're there.

Nice little hot springs. The tide was low, so we didn't get the full effects

Great simple place created by Mr. Bubble with a lot of care. Especially when you stay in Jungle Bay and want a days of rest after many activities this is a good place to go. Beach had great snorkeling bubbles and a bit of reaf and fish. It also has a bar with ice cold beers.

Awesome!! Naturally occurring hot tub in the ocean heated by volcanic activity under the ocean floor! Small bar on the beach. Lounge chairs. Kids can snorkel in the actually beach nearby and see bubbles like Champagne Beach. Worth a visit. Took our 8 and 10 year olds.

Secret Bay is on a different level. It’s not easy to find a place that gets luxury, privacy, and sustainability all right — but somehow, this place does. Waking up surrounded by rainforest, hearing the ocean in the background, completely off the grid... it’s hard to compare it to anywhere else in the Caribbean. The villas are flawless. The food is next level. And the staff make the whole experience feel effortless. One of the best stays I’ve ever had. Highly recommend.

We had a fabulous stay at Secret Bay. The villa is crazy amazing and the location feels… well, secret. It was extremely quiet and well appointed. The beach and pool were not crowded; they were clean. The food and drinks made with care from natural ingredients (Dane is the guy you want to see) and were generally really tasty. Where the resort fell from 5 to 4 stars was in the service. We had many issues with scheduling things (meals to go, carts to take us places) that just literally never happened despite us reconfirming multiple times. Additionally, the restaurant service, especially at dinner was inconsistent. One night: amazing and quick. Another night: undercooked fish and 30 min inbetween courses. If those things can be improved upon, this is as close to 5 star as it gets.

Secret bay was the biggest disappointment ever. The location is truly spectacular. it is fully immersed in nature and there is no question the natural site is quite unique. Now the infrastructure, the terrible service and the average food made it just a bad experience. I don't know how a resort can claim itself being 6 star but this one is not even worth 3 stars. The villas are outdated and the design is super budget. I really wonder how Relais & Chateaux ended up onboarding this property that is completely overpriced for the low level of customer service and the lack good management.

Secret Bay is a beautiful property — stunning views, elegant villas, excellent food, and fun, thoughtful artwork throughout. Our room was gorgeous, and the staff were exceptional. Our villa host, Keldon, went above and beyond; breakfast cooked in our room the morning we left was outstanding. I recommend sharing preferences in advance — everything was perfectly tailored, and everyone wanted seconds! The only disappointment was the spa. Four of us booked massages; only one person had a good experience. Two of us requested firm to very firm pressure and, despite asking multiple times, received almost no pressure at all — more like finger tapping. It was, unfortunately, one of the worst massages I’ve ever had (I get weekly massages). Paying $300 USD for 90 minutes and leaving more tense than when I arrived was frustrating. I’d absolutely stay here again for the property, staff, and dining — all top-tier — but I would skip the spa next time.

Didn’t stay the night but restaurant experience is beyond mediocre for usd 180 per head for a fixed 5 courses meal. The supermarket quality bread is counted as one course. Small, not very fresh plates and non attentive staff with an attitude of not wanting to be there, just stand around chatting and impossible to get attention for 10-15 mins that I actually need to walk up to them. Wood and steel banister by the table are flaking / rusting. Very few staff around the hotel to help with direction and buggy so 15 mins wait each way to get back to the car park. I’m so glad I didn’t book that hotel, and so surprised people will accept such low quality experience with this price compare to other Caribbean countries. So ashamed to have suggested this place for dinner which left everyone disappointed , out of pocket and still hungry.

This was an amazing couples vacation. To have a villa nestled in the middle of a rainforest is a truly unique experience especially with the way Secret Bay incorporates luxury and great service. All food and beverage was amazing. Service from airport transfer to concierge to host (Shout out Materina for the extra help) was amazing. The villa pool can be heated to give you a warn plunge pool. Special requests can always be made

I visited secret Bay from March 22 to March 29, traveling on the nonstop United flight from Newark to Dominica. Upon arrival, Tyrone from Secret Bay was waiting to drive me to the resort. Airport transfers were included they were private. Never being to Dominica, Ty gave me a brief overview on the way to the resort, including a quick drive-through Portsmouth, the closest town to the resort. Great driver, warm and welcoming. Without going through a play-by-play of every moment of every day, which I very easily could do, I’ll state a few aspects of my visit. I’ve been very fortunate to have traveled to several islands in the Pacific, including Hawaii. I’ve been to the People’s Republic twice and some tropical areas in Asia. The week at Secret Bay, was simply spectacular. I do not believe in all my travels. I had a more relaxing week away. Secret Bay, with no cliché, is a secret solitude that is unmatched in the Caribbean probably let alone in the Western Hemisphere. I believe there are more employees than guests. The grounds are so meticulously maintained. I’m a single traveler, I had Ylang Ylang One Villa. Martina was my villa host. I cannot speak more highly of her. She was so incredibly gracious, it’s beyond words. Yet unimposing. Tina made sure that I had fresh fruit, local snacks. Tina as well arranged my schedule to service the villa both morning and evening. Things I didn’t even ask for and I really didn’t request anything, I had anyway. There was nothing to request. The villa was spotless. The outdoor living area with the breeze off the mountains, it’s hard to explain unless you experience it yourself. Bath facilities were immaculate. A large soaking tub. I did not use the tub per say, however it was incorporated into the shower. Which had a rainfall head which was refreshing. The plunge pool outside, completely private was, again just spectacular. I was in and out of the pool several times a day. Private lounge chairs were adjacent. I cannot stress enough regarding privacy. This is delicate to mention, I am not a “naturalist” nor is this resort intended to be represented as such, however you needn’t be concerned whatsoever if you chose to not wear swim attire on your villa property to sunbathe, etc. Wildlife, unbelievable. I was fortunate on three occasions at dusk to see several parrots fly by. There were no mosquitoes, or insects of any kind, at least that I saw. The whole property is built onto the mountainside. It was a great walk back-and-forth from my location to the main building where the restaurant is. Although if you’re staying out farther away, there are golf carts and drivers at your disposal. Anywhere on the vast resort you’d like to go. The restaurant from breakfast through dinner with Chef Aurelien at the helm along with Josefani, who is the food and beverage manager operates a meticulously well-oiled machine. I dined with them six of the seven evenings and each night was again, marvelous to say the least. There were three fine dining events scattered throughout the week, one featuring local creole cuisine, one Italian, and one Asian. I can’t say enough about the quality and meticulous presentation. A true gem at the restaurant is Curvlyn, professional, and charismatic beyond compare. As well, the entire staff from breakfast through dinner, including the beach bar service area, second to none. You did not ask for anything at Secret Bay, between Jessica and her staff and concierge, they almost anticipated your needs. The activities that they also provide off property, even though I did not experience any, interacting with other guests from what I understand, again our top notch to say the least. The morning after I arrived, I was greeted by Craig Sands, the general manager of the resort. Craig treats the resort as if it is his own. By the end of my visit I gained a great friend. Charismatic gentleman who cares deeply for his guests, and as well treats his staff with the upmost respect. I will return to Secret Bay sooner than later.

Wonderful gem! Please visit and enjoy the lovely experience: beautiful gardens, fun hike on a nicely maintained trail, and the reward of gorgeous falls! Nic at the Little Zion Cafe will make you fantastic refreshments afterwards. Bring cash for the modest fee and for the cafe. Google directions aren't exactly correct, turn right where you see beautiful botanical flowering plants and the sign indicating the Little Zion Cafe. I've included a photo.

Super easy and very fun hike. Cafe was wonderful and our lovely tender Nick made the BEST cocktails!

Easy hike with a gorgeous view. Bring good water shoes and a bathing suit. You pay an entrance fee of $5 USD, separate from the eco tourism pass. However it’s a great hike with water crossings (accompanied with ropes to hold) then you get to the waterfall. Great place to bird.

The waterfall was too loud and pristine. The rum drinks were too plentiful and delicious and the proprietor was too fun and knowledgeable. Cannot recommend.

The Falls itself is beautiful and breathtaking. The hike is short, however the people are the bar cheated us and made the experience afterwards questionable.

In order to reach the waterfall, you must go through a private property and pay an entrance fee. However I need to admit that I was impressed by the excellent condition of the short trail with a few educational placards. It's a popular stop by tour buses so it can get very crowded.

Really fun experience, not too difficult of a walk. Bring wet shoes with a good grip, as you will cross water several times and the rocks are very slippery. The falls are gorgeous. We were able to drive all the way to where you pay/start, without a 4 wheel drive. The day we were there, they closed at 4pm but still let us enter at 3:40. The water was not suitable for swimming, but wading during the walk and the cool breeze coming off the falls made for a very nice experience.

After reading about how amazing the hike and site is, we decided to hire a guide. Our hotel concierge had trouble finding a guide, but succeeded at about 530pm the night before. Our guide was 10 min late to pick us up, and when we got to the entrance point, he turned us over to another guide. The guide we got was NOT helpful at all. He barely spoke to us. On difficult areas, he did not assist at all, nor did he volunteer to show us the best way over rocky walls or passing close to rivers ' edge. It rained about half the time, the guide walked ahead, didn't wait for us. When we got to the lake, the view was nice, but not worth the strenuous path, heavy rain or rude guide. We had read other reviews which praised their guide- we had one of the worse. The driver's name was Nathan and the guide was Peter- insist on a good guide or get your own in advance- apparently many of the good ones can be reached on Instagram.

Loved this hike! Went with a guide, Chadi Symes, who I contacted via Instagram and who led a fantastic trip with lots of additional information about the plants, animals, geology, and history of the island that added tremendously to the natural beauty of the hike. I debated for some time about getting a guide as an experienced and fit hiker, and I would recommend it for both enrichment and safety. While the hike is not very strenuous in terms of elevation gain or distance, there are several technical spots with high-consequence drops that benefitted from a guide’s advice on how to best navigate. In addition, in the area of mineral mud leading to the boiling lake, it is not obvious which places are and are not stable and which pools are pleasantly warm (great for soaking feet) or scalding. All in all, a very pleasant day and a great way to see a lot of the island’s natural beauty!

I brought my fiancé on this hike and she threatened to break up with me twice on the way up. Still engaged. Amazing views!

I am an experienced hike and I suggest you get a guide. The trail is not always obvious, I Hired Omar and he got us there and was a great guide.

Great place to go to! But I recommend being super fit and taking a guide there, the trail changes sometimes and you can get hurt.

What an amazing hike, the best our family of 4 has ever done!! Chadi Syme ( find him on instagram) is an excellent guide, lots of interesting info, knowledge, chat and surprises! And really well prepared and organised! We loved it that he was able to.accomodate our different speeds and abilities. Not an easy hike but we loved every minute of it!

This was a great hike! It took us about 5 hours roundtrip with stops for water and photographs. It's very steep in some places but overall a very manageable hike if you're in decent shape. We had a guide, Jason from Extreme Dominica (we'd highly recommend him), because we read online that the trail is hard to find in places and dangerous. We really enjoyed having a guide and it is not easy to find your way, but we didn't find it dangerous in at all. If you have an up to date map, you should be able to go yourself.

Awesome. I live near this airport and I can say it has improved in flights. It is now operating fine. Commercial Cargo and Private flights also operate like Coastal Air Airawak ViAirlink Air Antilles and others.

If one more person calls my home for the canefield airport. I am taking legal action against this website and the person who keeps setting the number back. The number for the airport is NOT 448-2176. This number belong to Richard Letang 45 Great George Street ROSEAU. Please call 445-7242.

Conveniently close to work space and also has atm which makes it easier for a few

Delicious food n drinks

New Google maps is real cool. More features n more accurate. Love it

had a stop here last year, Beautiful...

Airport used mainly for cargo flights.

This beach is currently CLOSED and there is no access, either by vehicle or by foot. Really disappointing as I hoped to visit while on holiday in Dominica

Nice beach and with a little luck you have it all to yourself. When you walk to the far west end of the beach, you get to a beautiful and serene place where the river flows into the sea. Not a perfect beach for swimming, but a perfect one for exploring

A nice hike leads to an amazing black sand beach with palm trees and a river flowing into the ocean. I highly recommend this beach!

Disaster! Looks more like a Number One Hundred Beach in Dominica. Go at your own risk :-)

Big sign says you have to pay to enter the beach which put us off it.

Stunning. Had beach completely to ourselves.

Never seen this in my live before!! The Hempstead River flows a 20 yards of the shore line parallel over the whole length of the beach. That's amazing, felt like first man on this island, normally there are no tourists. They are all at batibou beach and have to pay a fee to get there. Here it's free but swimming in the rough Atlantic is not recommended.

Unreal place, very beautiful. It’s on the east coast so the black sand beach gets a lot of seaweed and thrash of the Atlantic but the place remains beautiful. If you can go on a day with no wind and swell it’s the best. As for the hike, it is short but very challenging. You will have to go down using a ladder and ropes and there’s moment in between where you have to use the roots or trees. If you are afraid of heights, even the slightest, this is not for you. Do not attempt if it’s muddy or raining as well.

Just went today (January 23 2020). Ladders have been replaced since hurricane Maria. One of our favorite adventures yet! Definitely need to be very careful, and in relatively good shape. You traverse the side of the mountain using ladders and ropes put up by a local resident. Beautiful views the entire way and the waterfall flowing into the Atlantic Ocean was surreal. The pin actually stopped us a bit before the “parking area” continue on a bit farther and take the next left all the way to the second green house where you can park and donate a few dollars (we donated 10 EC) to the man that maintains the trail and lives in the green house.

I haven't been to the falls recently, but it's an amazing site once you reach the falls. The hike is difficult. Rope ladders and tree roots are used to gain footing as you descend a steep cliff. Once you get to the bottom you will see a waterfall cascading from the top of a cliff into the Atlantic. There's usually a black sand beach, but this changes based on the tide and whether waves have battered the beach recently. Definitely get a guide or trusted local to take you to the falls. I definitely would not visit the falls on a rainy day or if there are any tropical weather systems, since waves may reach further up the beach and the hike would be more difficult. Update 12/28/19: Since Maria the area has changed a bit. Very few trees are available to form a canopy or allow climbing using roots. If you have a fear of heights this will be a difficult hike. If you own safety harnesses take them with you, since it may help you feel safer. The final part of the hike will definitely be easier for people used to rock climbing etc (since it's really steep). The site is currently being updated. One can view the falls from the top, if he or she isn't up to climbing down the ladders.

The ladder that used to go down to the beach is gone and the only thing you can visit now is the top of the falls where they come out of the cliff, but it is a steep hike down an unmarked trail, we weren't comfortable making it there

I was here 2006, walking from three rivers eco lodge. Amazing place, not easy to reach, specially the last part of the hikking.... But, once you are there, is really really beautiful.

Terrifying experience getting there, bring a guide

Tough location, well worth the time it takes to climb down to it. Be sure you are in very good shape to attempt this site it will work your body and your mind!

Visit here occasionally for a pool-day pass. Always a pleasure, the pool is stunning and so refreshing. And the drinks are 10/10, food is satisfactory.

I've visited this beach since I was a toddler. Whether there is sand (black) or stones is dependent on many factors. It can change from day to day. It's also affected badly by sargassum. Sea bathers should be cautious as the sea currents can make the area dangerous. Most people do not bathe in the area anymore. Turtles nest on the beach and it can be arranged to go view them. The Rosalie river flows into the ocean, so it creates a nice environment. The surrounding land is poorly maintained. It can be a great place to hang out if the old mill was maintained and visitors kept the area clean.

(Translated by Google) Maybe it was a nice beach before the hurricane, but now it's nothing special (Original) Może przed huraganem była to ładna plaża teraz niestety nic specjalnego
