Nine places, one island
Waterfalls hidden in rainforest, volcanic gorges, mountain lakes and quiet rivers. These are the places that stay with you long after you leave the Nature Island.
Interior Dominica
One of Dominica's most accessible waterfalls, Jacko Falls is a magnificent stop for travellers exploring the island's lush rainforest. A short walk leads from the roadside towards the waterfall, where water meets the surrounding rainforest.
It is an ideal place to pause, take in the scenery and experience the refreshing beauty of Dominica's natural landscape.
Delices, Southeast Dominica
For those looking for a more adventurous waterfall experience, Victoria Falls is worth the journey. Located near the village of Delices, this dramatic 165-foot waterfall is fed by water from Boiling Lake and flows into the White River.
The route involves crossing the river and navigating rocks along the trail, making the journey part of the adventure.
Roseau Valley
Just a short drive from Roseau, Trafalgar Falls offers two spectacular waterfalls in one unforgettable setting. A well-maintained trail takes visitors to the falls' viewing area, where the twin falls through the lush Roseau Valley.
For visitors who want to get closer to the water, the more adventurous route continues towards the base of the falls.
Morne Trois Pitons National Park, Central Dominica
Deep within the rainforest of Morne Trois Pitons National Park, Middleham Falls rewards hikers with one of Dominica's most impressive waterfalls. The trail takes around an hour and a half and leads through a rich rainforest filled with tropical plants and wildlife. As you approach, the sound and cool spray of the waterfall build anticipation before the narrow cascade drops approximately 200 feet into a refreshing pool below.
Morne Trois Pitons National Park, Central Dominica
One of Dominica's most iconic natural attractions, Emerald Pool lies at the northern edge of Morne Trois Pitons National Park. A short, well-maintained trail takes visitors through lush rainforest to a 40-foot waterfall cascading into a pool that appears emerald green beneath the filtered sunlight.
Its cool waters offer a refreshing escape, while its easy access makes it an ideal stop for families, day-trippers and visitors with limited time.
Laudat, Roseau Valley
High in the mountains of Laudat, Freshwater Lake is the largest of Dominica's lakes and sits more than 2,500 feet above sea level within the UNESCO-listed Morne Trois Pitons National Park.
A trail surrounds the lake, offering changing perspectives of the water, surrounding mountains and rainforest. Its elevated setting makes it a beautiful place to enjoy cooler air, mountain scenery and the quieter side of Dominica.
Laudat, Morne Trois Pitons National Park
Step into one of Dominica's most extraordinary volcanic landscapes at Titou Gorge. The experience begins with a short swim from the base of a waterfall into a series of natural pools and chambers enclosed by high rock walls and rainforest.
The gorge became internationally recognised after featuring in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, but its volcanic formations and intimate swimming experience make it an attraction in its own right. Titou Gorge is also one of the key attractions within Morne Trois Pitons National Park.
Portsmouth, Northwest Dominica
Flowing near Portsmouth and Cabrits National Park, Indian River is the widest river on Dominica and one of the island's most atmospheric waterways. Visitors can explore it by traditional hand-rowed boat, travelling quietly beneath a canopy of tropical vegetation and Bwa Mang trees.
Indian River was also used as a filming location for Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest.
Scotts Head, Southwest Dominica
At the southern end of the island, Scotts Head rises as a narrow volcanic peninsula surrounded by the Caribbean Sea and Atlantic Ocean. Known locally as the Isthmus, this dramatic landscape forms part of the Soufrière-Scotts Head Marine Reserve and reflects Dominica's volcanic origins both above and below the water.
Visitors can climb towards the headland for sweeping coastal views or explore the surrounding waters through diving and snorkelling.
the island is waiting
Every one of these places is within reach on a single trip. Plan your days around them and let Dominica do the rest.
