Boiling Lake Hike

5.00Junior was an amazing guide. Very knowledgeable about Dominica and the trail and quite personable. We did the boiling lake hike. It’s a challenging 6hr round trip hike. He safely guided the team through it. I would recommend Junior as a guide.
Incredible experience and great guide!

5.00The Boiling Lake hike was an incredible experience. I feel lucky to have had Junior as a guide. He was so knowledgeable about Dominica, the local plants and wildlife, and was just an all around fun and helpful guy to hike with. The hike itself is very challenging - slippery, very steep in spots, and many ups and downs - but it is definitely worth it to see all of the different forests, the views into the valley and of course the Boiling Lake. If you plan to do the hike I would highly recommend booking with Junior.
You’re in good hands with Junior

5.00Junior was a fantastic guide and was very patient with me - I could not go nearly as fast as him and the other people in our group who were younger than me. I turned back at the “midpoint” - at the peak halfway to the boiling lake itself. I was afraid of getting to the lake but then not being able to scale the peak again to get back. It’s a great hike but if you cannot do 30-40 minutes of continuous climb up tall steps (I’m 6’3” and some of them were thigh-high) you will struggle to complete it.
The hike was no joke!...

5.00The hike was no joke! Even as experienced hikers having done Havasupai and Kilimanjaro, our legs definitely felt it by the end. But it was absolutely well worth it and Junior was fantastic. We ended up with folks at all different speeds (we were the slowest) and one guy doing drone videos, and Junior accommodated everyone and he ended up doing the hike twice to make sure no one felt rushed and no one felt held back. Great coordination on his part. We had a great time and felt well looked after on the muddy and tricky parts. Got to enjoy swimming in the hot waterfalls and then Titou Gorge (wish I had packed my waterproof camera for that). It was very cold but felt good after the long hike. Junior is an awesome guide - highly recommend! Great communication leading up to the trip so we knew what to expect.
Whoaaah 🤩

5.00Had a great time with Junior on this all day adventure. He is a great guy, watched out for us on the trail, helped spot us as needed, and was great company. He knows the route very, very well, and his quiet confidence put me at ease. There are some really, really steep parts of the trail that are sometimes hand over hand, slippery, muddy, and wet. And while it may be obvious, don’t forget that you have to go “up” and “down” the steep parts. If any of that sounds uncomfortable, this might not be the trail for you. But the views are incredible. And the lush forest is breathtaking. Despite being terribly exhausted (and muddy) by the end, I had a great time! And don’t pass on swimming Titou Gorge at the end. Otherworldly!
Good experience

5.00We really lucked out booking our hike with Junior. He was an awesome guide. From the beginning, the communication was great, with Junior following up after a few days to introduce himself and to see if we had any questions or needed additional info. I'm a local, and he arranged to just join us at the trailhead which was more convenient for us. He also allowed us to change the time of our hike to the earlier time. The hike expereince was a good one, though physcially challenging. Junior was patient, and we felt comfortable and not rushed throughout. We especially appreciated that Junior was knoweldgeable not just about the trail but in botany and history of Dominica and the area in general, so it was very informative, even for me being a local. We noticed Junior was also well equipped with ropes and other gear which made us feel safe. He provided us poles to use for walking, which came in handy. I plan on using Junior again next time I do the Boliling Lake and highly recommend him . You won't regret it.
Beautiful adventure
