Destinations > North America > Caribbean > The Nature Island of Dominica: A Gem in the Caribbean

Ignoring the native Kalinago name of “Waitukubuli,” Christopher Columbus named it “Dominica” upon his arrival on the island. Visitors to Dominica will quickly see why it’s called the Nature Island.

Located in the Lesser Antilles between the Caribbean and the Atlantic Ocean, this island nation is home to all sorts of natural wonders, from lush rainforests to bubbling geothermal pools, and an incredible number of rivers for such a small island (365 rivers)!

The mountainous center of the island is largely undeveloped, offering unique landscapes and wildlife as a huge draw to this island paradise.

“Like many Caribbean islands, Dominica has been influenced by different cultures over the course of its history. Originally inhabited by Arawak and Kalinago people, colonised by the Europeans (the English and French in particular), injected with a strong African influence during the 18th century, then flooded with American television in recent years, Dominica’s culture is as multi-faceted as the madras fabric worn as traditional dress.” -AVirtualDominica

Where to Stay in Dominica

You are going to want to make yourself a little bit comfortable when you are staying in Dominica as most of the island is a tropical Caribbean forest. Thus, it is fairly important to make sure that you pick a place that will at least allow you to rest and relax at the end of your adventures. After spending nearly 7 months on Dominica and talking to a massive Medical School community there, it’s fairly clear that there are only a handful of really nice places to stay on the island as it is still fairly secluded.

Here are the best places to stay based on which part of the island you’ll be on - although we’d recommend traveling from one to the next as you explore the full island, it’s possible that you will only choose a few areas to explore. Make sure that you are picking these places to stay!

Roseau, Main City: Fort Young Hotel or Cocoa Cottages

Midwest Coast: The Tamarind Tree Hotel & Restaurant

Northwest Coast: Secret Bay Resort, The Champs, or Cabrits Resort & Spa

Northeast Side: Pagua Bay House or Aywasi Kalinago Retreat

East Coast Center: Rosalie Bay Eco Resort & Spa

Southwest Coast: Jungle Bay Resort & Spa

The Best Places to See in Dominica

Trafalgar Falls

One of the great waterfall vistas the island has to offer is Trafalgar Falls. Located in the Morne Trois Pitons National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the twin falls, Mama and Papa, are a gorgeous 20-minute drive from Roseau.

The base of the falls is easy to access, just a short 10-minute walk down a path with stairs, both well maintained. At the top there is a covered patio with a great view of the falls.

To get closer to the falls, you can take a trail that passes over a number of boulders. A lovely warm spring flows across the trail and if you’re feeling like a swim, you have a choice of the refreshing cool pool of the shorter Mama waterfall or the warm mineral pool of the taller Papa falls. The online entry ticket is so cheap that it’s practically free!

PRO TIP: There are many things to see and do in this area, namely Screw’s Spa, Extreme Dominica Canyoning, Titou Gorge, and the start to the Boiling Lake Hike (more on these below), as well as Middleham Falls – a one hour trail from Laudat that'll likely end up getting you a bit wet as you walk through the rainforest while navigating rocks and completing a few steep climbs, Freshwater Lake – Dominica’s largest lake located at 2500 feet above sea level which is great for a nice kayaking experience but the water is very cold, and Boeri Lake – The highest lake in Dominica that's an additional 45 minute hike from Freshwater Lake.

Titou Gorge

Located near Trafalgar Falls, Titou Gorge is another wonder that the volcanic formation of the island has left for us to enjoy. The cooling lava split open and the angled rocks and tropical canopy have created a series of “rooms” that you can swim through that are incredibly beautiful. Looking around you might recognize it from the second Pirates of the Caribbean movie.

There is a short 5-10 minute walk to arrive at the gorge and there are occasionally a few local vendors set up in front of the gorge selling water and souvenirs. There is also a small changing area with curtains.

Though it’s not a long swim to the base of the waterfall in the back, we’d recommend taking your time and enjoying the peaceful atmosphere. You will not be able to touch the bottom of the gorge past the entrance, but there is a rock that you can rest on about half way through and another shelf near the waterfall. The current will pick up as you get closer to the waterfall, so life vests are recommended for weak or moderate swimmers - as well as all children - because the current has been known to pull people under.

If you get chilled swimming in the cold waters of the gorge, there’s a hot spring back at the entrance where you can warm up.

PRO TIP: It’s a day trip that’s popular with the cruise ships, so to get that peace, avoid peak times if there’s a ship in dock.

Extreme Dominica Canyoning

As you may have guessed by now, Dominica is a prime location for outdoor adventures and a great one is the Extreme Dominica Canyoning Experience. This guided experience takes you on a hike through the rainforest to a hidden waterfall and canyon. They also have an out-of-this-world Night Canyoning Experience and an Advanced Waterfall Rappel!

The great thing about this experience is that it’s perfect for all skill levels – even if you’ve never rappelled before in your life. Just bring your bathing suit, a towel, and closed footwear and they’ll take care of the rest. You can even rent a waterproof camera if you don’t have one of your own.

PRO TIP: This experience is just next to the Cocoa Cottages, so if you're planning on doing many things in this area, the Cottages may be the best choice for accommodation if it's available.

Screw's Sulfur Spa

One of the places that locals and visitors alike agree is a must-visit is Screws Spa, a series of open-air geothermal pools built right in to the natural setting of the island by a local man with the nickname Screw. Extensively damaged in Hurricane Maria, the spa has reopened in a nearby location and still offers incredibly relaxing soaks in the naturally therapeutic mineral pools provided by the island’s volcanic activity.

PRO TIP: This is the last stop on the Roseau City Tour and for good reason - it’s the perfect place to relax and unwind. If you’d like to continue relaxing in this area, the Rainforest Shangri-La Resort next door is an excellent choice for an overnight stay.

Boiling Lake Hike

The Boiling Lake Hike gives visitor an up-close look at the still-active volcanic nature of the island. The lake is a flooded fumarole, and is the second largest hot lake in the world.

The hike to get there starts at Titou Gorge and is very challenging, taking you through the “Valley of Desolation” - with steam pockets, fumaroles, hot streams, and sulfur springs - and having you climb up and down a number of spots as you journey to the lake. While it is important to stay on the trail and out of danger, the eerie magic of the place is not to be missed. The trail eventually leads to an overlook above the flooded clay basin from the top of mountain.

However, it’s worth the 3-5 hours each way (6-10 hours total round trip) to take in this bubbling cauldron of grey-blue water, super-heated by the magma and gasses below.

Bring lots of water, food, sunscreen, and a camera! Wear appropriate footwear. This is not a kid friendly activity. Guide highly recommended.

River Tubing

If you’re looking for something a little more fast paced, try River Tubing at Hibiscus Valley or give Wacky Rollers River Tubing a try.

Hibiscus Valley will take you on an adventure down the beautiful Pagua River at the border of Kalinago Territory near Marigot, while Wacky Rollers will take you on a wild ride down the Layou River - Dominica’s longest and deepest river.

The guides at either location will provide instructions and set you up with your life vest and innertube (and a paddle at Wacky Rollers) to help you along. They’ll also likely treat you to a few delicious snacks, fruit juice, and/or some island-famous rum punch at the end of your ride!

Spaces on these tubing excursions fill up fast, so make sure you either book in advance or go as part of your 8-day Discover Dominica tour.

PRO TIP: If you're heading up the western coast from Roseau, it is worth stopping at Mero Beach - for great snorkeling and delicious food at Connie’s Beach Bar - and the Macoucherie Estate Distillery - one of Dominica’s two main rum distilleries where you can try some real Caribbean Rum (the only one using distilled from sugar cane grown on Dominica). A little further north is the Syndicate Nature Trail and Waterfall - which is a gorgeous 20 minute walk that crosses the Dublanc River a couple of times (shoes that can get wet are recommended) and you may even get lucky enough to see a few of Dominica’s indigenous birds: the Sisserou (Dominica’s National Bird), and the Jaco! Nearby is the trail to Morne Diablotins, Dominica’s tallest mountain and one of the hardest hikes in Dominica. This one requires a guide.

Indian River

With a long history of use by the native Kalinago Indians, the Indian River, located just before the entrance to Portsmouth, is the widest and most historically traveled of the island’s 365 rivers. The Indian River area is a coastal wetland that is dominated by buttressed Bwa Mang trees.

A great way to experience it is to take a slow peaceful, boat ride up the river. Many of the guides are full of fascinating information about the plants and wildlife, such as local birds, fish, and vegetation, as you row along the mangrove-covered banks of the river. They can also point out the places where scenes from the Pirates of the Caribbean movies have been filmed, including part of the famous Tia Dalma scene!

At the end of the river, you will be able to visit the Indian River Tiki Bar and tour the grounds. Try some fresh coconut, sugar cane, or enjoy a nice rum punch! Meals are also available.

The boat tour is approximately 35 minutes each way and it is a kid friendly activity.

Hidden Gem Nearby: Secret Beach – An amazing hidden beach that is only accessible by a 5-minute boat ride from the pier at Portsmouth Beach Hotel (PBH) - which is also easily arranged if staying at the amazing Secret Bay Resort just above on the cliffside. This beach is also a great snorkeling site as well!

PRO TIP: See the Indian River in full detail, and Fort Shirley at Cabrits National Park, as well as the Cold Soufriere, one of the only places in Dominica where you can view and put your fingers into the shallow bubbling cold sulfur pools that are associated with the nearby Morne Aux Diables volcano - passing local crops of dasheen and yams along the way - by getting a local guide to show you around (with the Northern Excursion).

Cabrits National Park and the Surrounding Area

A small peninsula jutting off to the western side of the northernend of the island, Cabrits National Park protects forests, wetlands, and coral reefs, demonstrating yet again the range of Nature Island’s landscapes. Once its own island, the extinct volcanos that are Cabrits were connected to the main island by tides bringing in ocean floor and rivers washing down debris. The low-lying plain is now home to protected wetlands and marshes. The park is also the last stop on the Wai’tukubuli Trail, which spans the west coast of island starting from Scott’s Head in the south.

“The national park is best known as the site of Fort Shirley, a large 18th-century British garrison which once housed 600 soldiers. Some of the fort's stone ruins have been partially reconstructed; others are half-hidden in the jungle and are fun to explore. There are fine views of Prince Rupert Bay from the ruins of the Officer's Quarters.
You can also hike either the East or West Cabrits trails. There is a lookout over Douglas Bay with breath taking views. Be prepared to see lots of historic ruins, hermit crabs, lizards, snakes (non-poisonous) and the different trees/wood of Dominica.” -AVirtualDominica

Just outside of Cabrits to the south is Purple Turtle Beach – a nice beach with a great bar and grill and an excellent view of the harbor and of Cabrits. There is horseback riding along this beach that will stop at Cabrits as well, or you can even take the horses through a nearby rainforest if you prefer!

Douglas Bay and beach, on the northern side of Cabrits, is a nice area for snorkeling, and a bit farther north is Toucari Bay, where you'll likely see a number of seahorses if you snorkel around the old boat pier! However, they don't have restrooms and you’ll need to bring your own snorkel gear, snacks, and water to these two locations as they also don’t have the options that are available at Purple Turtle Beach.

MY STORY: For my 30th birthday, I spent the early morning snorkeling the bays around Cabrits, then took the Northern Excursion to take a boat up the Indian River - to the Tiki Bar for lunch - and explore the trails and Fort Shirley in the afternoon. Next I took in the breathtaking pre-dusk views at the Calibishie Red Rocks, watching the sunset at Escape Beach and having dinner there at the “Escape Dominica” Beach Bar. It was a magical Caribbean day! -Bradley

Hidden Gem Nearby: A drive along the twisty Northern Link road will provide you with incredible vistas that the heights of the island have to offer. Clear days bring a view of the neighboring islands of Guadeloupe and Îles des Saintes in the north, and across much of the island of Dominica in the south!

Claudaire Pool, Bense

Located on the Hampstead River at the edge of the small community of Bense, Claudaire Pool is another lovely way to explore the natural wonders Dominica offers visitors. Off the beaten path, literally, this spot is a bit of challenge to access, so make sure you’ve got your hiking boots and solid directions before making the 15-minute hike down to the small pool area.

The gorgeous pool with its natural waterslide and crystal-clear water make meeting the challenge worth the effort. You can also jump off of a 15-20 foot cliff on either side of the pool into the water, but we recommend swimming in the pool first to know what spots are safe to jump in. The water is about 12 feet deep near the middle and along the steeper edge. This is one of the first stops on the 7-Day Ultimate Dominica Adventure.

NOTE: The waterfall at the end of the slide can disorient you. As you get sucked down toward the bottom of the pool with the current of waterfall, it’s possible that you may be flipped over. I have experienced it personally, and I have seen it happen to a few others. So, we recommend wearing a life jacket if you aren’t a strong swimmer and/or understand what to expect.

Calibishie Red Rocks

Another of Nature Island’s wonders lies near the sleepy fishing village of Calibishie on the northern shore. The fabulous Red Rocks shoreline was created when the iron-rich basalt weathered to a lovely reddish orange color.

Great for bouldering and climbing, these fabulous rock formations contrasting with the lush green forest and the deep blue ocean also provide a great backdrop for your vacation pics. A stop off at the nearby Pointe Baptiste Estate Chocolate is a great cap to your visit. See the Red Rocks on the 7-Day Ultimate Dominica Adventure.

Additionally, the “Escape Dominica” Beach Bar nearby is an absolute paradise location and perfect for sunsets and traditional Caribbean dinners! This is an incredibly relaxing environment with some beach chairs, a fire pit, and a private beach - although the ocean can have 3-6 ft swells with strong currents.

Hidden Gem Nearby: Batibou Beach, one of the most beautiful beaches on the Atlantic side of the island, but the undercurrent and swells can be quite strong at times and have been known to sweep people out to sea - never to be seen again - so bring life vests with lights just to be safe. Alternatively, “#1 Beach” - just around the corner - is great for sun bathing, but it doesn't have much shade. The Cloud9 Dominica Boutique Hotel and the Veranda View Guesthouse are both excellent options to stay overnight in this area as well.

Kalinago Barana Aute - Carib Territory

The Carib Territory, known locally as Kalinago Barana Aute is located on the Northeast side of the island. This is the only area on the island that has been set aside for the native Kalingo population. However, to help the native community, you can take a tour here and view the men’s and women’s quarters, observe their basket weaving techniques, learn how they craft their famous Cassava bread, or even see how they craft canoes. To support the local community even more, you could purchase some ornate jewelry, baskets, or other souvenirs that were handcrafted by members of their community.

There is a restroom and a snack shop if you need them, but we recommend bringing along some extra cash to purchase their famous Cassava bread, a few local juices, and a couple locally made souvenirs. Stay overnight at the Aywasi Kalinago Retreat for the best authentic Caribbean experience on the island!

Hidden Gem Nearby: The Pagua Bay House Oceanfront Cabanas sit above one of the best lookouts over the Atlantic Ocean just 15 minutes away from Kalinago Barana Aute. If you stay here, expect to be completely pampered with wine from all over the world while partaking in some of the best food on the island. Simply take a look at these photos to see how magnificent the views are and then imagine yourself reclining on the huge wooden beach chair, relaxing while listening to the sounds of the surf below and taking in the beauty of the magnificent mountains surrounding the area.

Aba Wavine Cyrique

One of these natural wonders is the Wavine Cyrique Falls. The falls tumble directly down to the ocean, or onto the top of a rock on the black sand beach that is revealed during low tide. It's a fun experience to stand on that rock while the waterfall is pouring directly on top of you!

Visiting this spectacular gem is not for the faint of heart, though, as the only access to the beach is a tricky climb down the side of the mountain. You start off the hike by walking down several steps for about 15 minutes. Then, you'll need to climb down a sturdy rope ladder. Thus, it’s highly recommended that you get a registered guide to take you to keep you safe and to locate help if it becomes necessary.

The ocean here is really rough with strong currents, so be prepared to be knocked over easily and frequently if you enter the water. We do not recommend swimming on the Atlantic side of the island! Only go during low tide. Be sure to bring plenty of water, a lunch, your camera, and wear good hiking shoes.

Note: You used to have to climb down a tangled web of tree roots and ropes to get to the beach, but that was destroyed in 2017 by Hurricane Maria.

Hidden Gems Nearby: Sari Sari is a beautiful, tall waterfall south of Wavine Cyrique that can be seen after crossing rivers and climbing over boulders during a slightly difficult 45-minute hike. A little farther south is Victoria Falls, which can be reached by hiking along the White River for about 1 hour. You will need to cross the river a few times and climb over some rocks during the hike so good water hiking shoes/boots, like Keen’s, are recommended. Both of these falls require guides.

PRO TIP: If you’re planning to see all of these 3 waterfalls, or even the Emerald Pool, Spanny Falls, or Jacko Falls listed below, then you’ll definitely need to stay overnight to see them all. The best hotel in the area for this waterfall adventure would be the Rosalie Bay Eco-Resort & Spa.

Emerald Pool

Located in Morne Trois Piton National Park, Emerald Pool is one of Dominica’s most popular attractions. Named for the light filtering through the treetop canopy, the stunning natural pool is just a short walk down a well-marked trail hidden in the rainforest. The very cool waters offer a break from the sometimes-intense Caribbean heat and humidity. It is a popular spot, so it’s a good idea to go early in the day to avoid crowds, especially when cruise ships are docked on the island.

While some day tours stop here, the 7-day and 8-day tours will also make sure you get to see this waterfall and pool.

More Info: Morne Trois Pitons National Park has several dormant volcanoes on the property including Morne Micotrin, Morne Watt, Morne Anglais, and Morne Trois Pitons - the highest volcano of the four. There is also a strenuous 2-3 hour hike through the park as well.

Spanny Falls

Spanny Falls, also known as Snappy and Penrice Falls, is an easy to access set of two waterfalls that are a 30-minute hike into the rainforest. It’s a short hike down a well-marked trail to this beautiful pool and falls; However, it is on private property, so there’s a small entrance fee that can be paid at the Spanny’s Shop nearby. If you’ve got your sturdy shoes on, you can take a little climb up a muddy part of the trail and see the second Penrice Falls, as well. Or just take a cool refreshing dip in the first pool.

This is a great hike to do along with the Jacko Falls hike as they are very close to each other.

Jacko Falls

Nearby, Jacko Falls is also an easily accessible waterfall, but it does require that you first climb up a decent number of steps to reach the Jacko Flats. A short walk along a well-maintained path and stairs brings you to this small, but stunning sight. Take a cooling dip in the pool, or just sit and be entertained by the sisserou parrots, only found on Dominica, in the trees above.

Hidden Gem Nearby: Heading back out toward Roseau from here, it’s worth considering the 7-Waterfalls Hike as well. This is an amazing 5-hour loop hike that starts at the small town of Campbell with many amazing waterfalls which you can swim in, and there’s even a cliff jumping spot along the way! The trail will require you to cross rivers a few times and the scenery is really beautiful. Be sure to wear good hiking shoes and bring plenty of water and snacks. This is not a kid friendly activity. Guide highly recommended.

Champagne Reef

At the south end of Nature Island, Champagne Reef - also known as Champagne Bay - offers a unique experience to snorkelers and boaters alike. Underwater volcanic springs bubble up, giving the reef its name and tickling swimmers as they explore. This mineral-rich environment is home to all sorts of colorful underwater wildlife, a big draw for divers. Additionally, as there is no spear fishing allowed here, you are also able to see creatures that you wouldn’t normally see.

PRO TIP: For an amazing snorkeling day, grab a guide to show you the best spots to explore in Champagne Reef and Scotts Head - the perfect snorkeling, or diving, combination!

Scott's Head

Tours are available both on land and by boat to show off the highlights of this fascinating spot. They continue down the coast, where you’ll come to Scott's Head, the southernmost point on the island. Here you can snorkel some more, or hike up Scott’s head itself for a view of the fishing village, the old fort, and a view of the neighboring Island of Martinique to the south. There are usually vendors selling merchandise near the end of the road - you might even find some authentic Dominican bush rum being sold there!

PRO TIP: Instead of snorkeling here and at Champagne Reef, really get involved with a scuba diving experience to both places. You’ll get to see much more of the amazing coral reefs and tropical fish from under the sea. Scuba diving is one of the BEST EXPERIENCES in Dominica!

NOTE: If you are snorkeling around here, stay on the Caribbean side as the Atlantic side is quite rough with strong currents. Additionally, the currents will start to pick up quite rapidly as you get closer to exiting the half-moon shaped bay that is Scott’s Head - so we recommend staying nearer to the beach, or inside the bay, if you aren’t using flippers or if you aren’t a strong swimmer (otherwise you could literally get swept out to sea!).
