Hiking Trails
Gallion Loop Trail
A moderate 2.5 hour hike via Soufriere then with steep switchbacks up into the hills and leads to the village of Gallion. This small mountain community is home to the talented stonemasons who helped to develop both Jungle Bay as well as the stone walls you will see along the roadsides. The trail loops back behind the mountains and returns. Along the way, learn about star fruit (carambola), cashews, mangos, cocoa, lemongrass or whatever other fruits are in season.
Boiling Lake
Traversing dense rainforests, crossing bubbling streams and witnessing the raw power of nature, our guided expedition will lead you to the awe-inspiring Boiling Lake.
The Boiling Lake is the second largest of its kind in the world and was formed in an area known as the “Valley of Desolation”. Its located within the UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Perdu Temps Trail
This moderate 1.5-hour Dominica hiking trail is a guest favorite culminating in “the Garden of Eden.” Pick fresh fruits off the trees and explore Pump’s organic farm and healing garden.
Middleham Falls Hike &Trafalgar Falls
An easy to moderate hike to explore the misty mountain trail to Middleham Falls with a special treat down to the waterfall pool at the finish for an invigorating dip.
Traffalgar falls includes twin waterfalls, one flows with hot spring water and one is cold water.
Scott's Head
A short walk within the “tail” of Dominica in the kind village of scoots head where the Caribbean Sea meets the Atlantic oceans. After reaching the top of the peak you will be amazed with the breath taking view of south of island and communities. Scoots head is also known as Cashacrou - named by the Kalinagos; Dominica’s indigenous people.
