Morne Trois Pitons National Park Hiking Tour to Boiling Lake
Roseau, Dominica
Join this 7-hour tour and get ready to hike! Visit the UNESCO World Heritage Site, Traverse Ti Tou Gorge, used as a location for the filming of Pirates of the Caribbean. Walk through the harsh Valley of Desolation (as the name suggests) and soak in the hot water pools before getting to one of the wonders of the World.
Your party will be picked up at the designated meeting point where the tour will begin. The drive will take you through the Botanic Gardens for a peek at some of the island's flora and fauna before you reach the trail head on Ti Tou Gorge.
At the trail head you will begin the trek of the Boiling Lake Trail. The steady climb is loaded with flora and fauna, birds singing from the top of the trees, a freshness that lingers, and a rushing river below that is a thrill to behold. At Breakfast River, you will pause for a light snack, then proceed upwards until you reach the first summit.
Back on the trek, through the Valley of Desolation, you will find a lot of volcanic features that give the valley an otherworldly feel. The last push takes you to the Famous Boiling lake, your reward, one of the most visited sights on Island. This is the perfect opportunity for rare pictures. Test your endurance on this full-day hike and see the natural wonders of Dominica!
First of all, I want to thank Simon, our guide, for pushing us relentlessly so we could go all the way and make it back on time to board our ship. So beware, that hike is hard, potentially dangerous due to the steepness and slippery parts and everyone should be very aware of that, I highly recommend to wear some hiking shoes. Due to some misunderstanding and a road closure, we were almost one hour late starting our hike. With a time restriction to get back to our cruise ship, we ended up doing it in 5:45 as opposed to the 6-7 hours it would usually take at a more relax pace. The scenery is fantastic, we had a lucky breeze to cool us off and no rain. I didn't give 5 stars because we didn't get much in terms of commentary during the hike, it is not a loop so you come back the same way you went in and our lunch could have been a little more than 2 empenadas per person when you get charged 165 each. It was more a personal achievement for my wife and I than anything else.
