Leaving the port we take the scenic drive to the small village of Laudat in the interior of Dominica, the gateway to Titou Gorge.
Wear your swimsuit, to start your adventure begins with a swim in Titou Gorge, located some 2,000 feet above sea level. Here, you can swim up the throat of a mountain to a waterfall located inside the gorge. If you prefer, you can simply relax and be massaged by the hot water stream that empties into its cool, refreshing waters.
Located in Dominica’s Morne Trois Pitons National Park, for Pirates of the Caribbean Fans, many key scenes were filmed at this place on the island. More precisely, it was the location used for the shot where Will Turner and his crew mates are hung in suspending cages between cliffs and where Captain Jack Sparrow is seen rolling down into a gorge in a vine cage. While that does sound very exhilarating to fans of Captain Sparrow, the gorge is enchanting even without the presence of the Disney character.
Next we ride into the heart of Roseau Valley, an emerald haven, that leads to the awe-inspiring spectacle of Trafalgar Falls, twin cascades renowned for their majestic beauty and one of Dominica's most popular natural attractions.
A 10-minute walk will take the visitor to a viewing platform for a panoramic view of twin waterfalls which plunge about 125 ft and 75 ft respectively.
From here, we explore further into this extraordinary ecosystem encounteingr the Wotton Waven Sulphur Springs, where billowing plumes of steam rise from therapeutic hot springs. travel through serene landscapes to the wellness village of Wotten Waven. After a short introduction, you'll be escorted down natural steps to a series of open-air pools for the island-style hot mineral bath derived from an underground source. In this rustic outdoor setting, unwind in a natural pool for a leisurely soak. Wotten Waven is well-known for its natural hot sulfur springs and mud pools that are believed to have medicinal qualities.
Finally we take a picturesque drive through Roseau to Morne Bruce, an ideal location for a bird's-eye view of the entire town of Roseau below. After capturing the panoramic hilltop views, continue to the Botanical Gardens for a tour of the lush grounds and the exotic species of flora and fauna indigenous to the island.
