 Twin Falls Dominica by Martin_S. The Twin Falls are in a beautiful tropical jungle setting, but to find them is difficult, there are NO signs, NO directions and NO maps. If you want to try and find the Twin Falls you can do it in one of two ways. Take a local guide, or drive from Marigot in the direction of Roseau. About a third of the way there you will find a small store on the right side of the road (that would be the north side). If you stop in and buy some drinks the owner of the store might direct you toward the path that is alongside his store. You will need to take that path into the jungle for about a kilometer before you come to the first of the two falls. Once again, there are no markers, no well made path or trail. This is a definite "Off The Beaten Path" site. Leave a Comment

 View of Soufriere by delphis Take a drive up to the village of Gallion, which overlooks Scott's Head/Soufriere Bay. The bay is beautiful enough, but this spot looks over it and has the most stunning views. The drive is a steep one but worth it. At the main junction in Soufriere, take a left up the hill (rahter than the left to the hot springs). Leave a Comment

The Twin Falls- one hour outside of Rosaeu, short, messy, fun hike. Well worth it! Remmeber the word TWIN! Leave a Comment

by hajin Don't forget to take note of all the beautiful flowers on the island and the inventive gardening--those are tires that these creative Dominicans used. Leave a Comment

by hajin This is a typical house outside of Roseau (the capital). This one was right next to Roxy's and were the owners of the tire garden. Leave a Comment

For organised tours try Ken's Hinterland Adventure Tours (KHATS) Ken and his crew are very pleasant and knowledgeable. The tour desk at the Fort Young Hotel is run by them, although they also offer some tours from other operators, such as Dive Dominica. At the end of our holiday Ken picked us up from our hotel very early to take us to the hotel. When we arrived at the airport there were no check-in staff to be seen. Ken did not abandon us; he searched the airport and would not leave until he saw us safely checked in - Thanks Ken. Leave a Comment

by BROOKS Dominica Botanical Gardens (off Bath Road), Roseau, Dominica, West Indies. The Botanical Gardens is similar to a large park, however, more tropical. There you can see a live exibition of one of the world's rarest endangered birds-the Sisserou Parrot. You can see live photos in my travelogue of this rare feathered friend. You will also have an opportunity to see plants and flowers indigeneous to Dominica and the Caribbean region. I'm actually there in this photo on my very last day on my favorite island. So amazing everytime. My last day here was April 21, 2000. Leave a Comment

by BROOKS The wildlife is wonderful. You do have to trek into the wilderness a bit-but not too far. This is a beautiful male peacock I so persistently took several photos of to get this one. Leave a Comment

If you stay at Three Rivers Eco Lodge or are around Rosalie...stop by the village of Grand Fond. Grand Fond is a fairly tough uphill walk from 3 Rivers or a long car ride up a mountain side. Not to many tourists visit this place, but it was great. See how local Dominicans live and go to a local bar. At the end of the village there is a little bar type thing were some cool, very nice people hang out. There is an opportunity to hike to a waterfall...called Denier Falls (spelling might be wrong). We asked a young local to show us how to get there. beware, the trail is small, may be slippery and can be steep...but it is generally safe. The waterfall is beautiful. Its fairly small and drains into a little pool area. It was AWESOME! Its not visited often...no signs of people ever being here. Great place to swim or river walk. if you don't want a guide...just ask locals how to get to it. You have to cross through some locals property, but they are ok with it. Its a great way to view a local Dominican village with a rewarding waterfall...just 20 minutes hiking!
