THE 3 RIVERS FALLS
This incredible waterfall can be reached following
a really simple half hour walk from 3 Rivers .
The trail is both beauttiful
and extremely easy, and involves a well made track and a little river
walking.
You can bath under this 100
foot high cold shower and hear the sound of your screams echoing all
around.
The water drops close to a massive
tree which forms a junction between 3 rivers, completely different
from the 3 rivers meeting at 3 Rivers itself!!
We tell no-one how to find this
little gem unless they are our guests.
THE SPACE MOUNTAIN FALLS
|
This cascade of five
totally different waterfalls, gushing ferociously from great
heights, lies hidden deep in the mountains directly behind 3
Rivers. After a two or three hour hike through the awe-inspiring
forest, you arrive at the lowest of the five falls. To reach
the rest you must climb the rocks at the edge of falls. Not
too easy, but well worth the effort. A good way to get the most
from these falls is to camp overnight in the forest and return
slowly the next afternoon. We can supply you with food, a guide,
and camping equipment, if you so wish.
|
GRAND FOND - DERNIERE FALLS
|
Only a half hour walk
from 3 Rivers, up and down windy mountain trails, brings you
to a beautiful little waterfall in a rock covered canopy cave,
with a cathedral like shelter of trees overhead. Quiet and cool
- not on most maps.
|
|
SPANNY'S TWIN FALLS
|
|
A two hour walk, or
twenty minutes drive, followed by a short twenty minute trail
on a slippery track, leads you to two amazing little falls,
hidden away in the forest and rarely visited. Both of them have
excellent pools for bathing and it is a cool place to relax
the day away.
|
SECRET BEACH - RIVIERE CYRIQUE
|
|
After a forty-five minute
walk, or ten minute drive, followed by a difficult tree root
descent of a cliff, you will reach the Secret Beach. Here you
will see a magnificent waterfall cascading from 100 feet up
the cliff directly into the ocean. The beach can also be reached
by boat, and, again, you will not find this special place on
the general tourist maps
|
|
THE EMERALD POOL
|
The Emerald Pool is
not far from 3 Rivers and involves nothing difficult at all.
A simple walk to a small, pleasant waterfall and pool. It is
not advisable to visit when a cruise ship is in town, as you
will find bus loads of tourists there, due to the very easy
access.
|
|
TRAFALGAR FALLS
|
|
These two stunning waterfalls
can be reached by taking a three hour hike from 3 Rivers, passing
by the Freshwater
Lake, or by taking an hour's
drive to the village of Trafalgar, followed by a five minute,
very easy, walk. Each is incredible and unique, and there are
quite a few different pools for bathing.
|
SARI SARI AND VICTORIA FALLS
|
|
These are two of Dominica's
most famous falls. Reached after hiking for about an hour from
La Plain and Delices, both of which are a short drive or bus
ride from 3 Rivers. The actual trails involve quite a lot of
river walking, and are prone to wet and slippery stones! As
long as you take your time you will be fine, and both of these
gorgeous places will leave you with fond, lasting memories.

BOLI
FALLS
|
A hike for advanced hikers
which lasts about 5 hours in total. The walk begins in the beautiful
village of La Plaine, and is one of the most spectacular and lesser
known sites of Dominica, passing through unspoilt rainforest you
arrive at 3 stunning waterfalls and some gorgeous natural pools.
According to local legend, you may get the chance to see a mermaid
or two.

|
MIDDLEHAM FALLS
|
|
One of Dominica's tallest waterfalls
is reached after a two hour hike through the rainforest, passing
through an ancient coffee plantation, and then the Tou Santi ( stinking
hole ), a collapsed lava tube emitting warm gasses, where you will
see a few bats in the crevices on the sides. The return journey
is another two hours. |
