This unforgettable afternoon excursion showcases two of Dominica’s most beloved natural attractions Emerald Pool and Trafalgar Falls ,timed perfectly to avoid the morning crowds from cruise ships.
Your journey begins with a scenic drive to Trois Pitons National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where you’ll visit the stunning Emerald Pool. A guided 20-minute walk along packed dirt paths with gentle inclines leads you to this tranquil oasis. Once there, you can admire the 40-foot waterfall, take photos, enjoy a refreshing swim, or simply relax amid the lush rainforest surroundings.
From Emerald Pool, travel through Dominica’s verdant countryside to the village of Trafalgar. Your first glimpse of Trafalgar Falls reveals twin cascades plunging dramatically into deep gorges. A guided 20-minute walk over uneven and occasionally steep terrain passing ginger plants and vanilla orchids brings you to the main viewing platform, where you’ll have time to soak in the scenery and capture memorable photos.
After leaving Trafalgar Falls, continue on to the Botanical Gardens for excellent photo opportunities. With a bit of luck, you may even spot Dominica’s national bird, the rare Sisserou Parrot, found nowhere else in the world.
At the conclusion of the tour, you’ll be comfortably returned to your ship.
