Your journey begins with a scenic drive into the island’s mountainous interior, where the air grows cooler and the forest thickens. First stop: Spanny Falls, a hidden gem tucked away in the rainforest. Choose to view from the upper trail or take a short but slightly adventurous hike down to the base for a rewarding swim beneath the cascading water.

Begin your adventure with a scenic coastal drive to Champagne Beach, located just south of Roseau.

The second largest of its kind in the world, Boiling Lake is in the Valley of Desolation — words that seem to describe life on another planet but which perfectly capture what you’ll find if you’re daring enough.

Rated the best tour in Dominica and among the top things to do in the Caribbean.
