We had an incredible day with Junior! 🤩 He guided our family safely along the breathtakingly beautiful trail to Boiling Lake, including our two children aged 8 and 10. Communication beforehand was excellent, which was especially important for us as we were visiting Dominica on a cruise ship.🛳️ After the hike, we were able to cool our tired legs in Titou Gorge. Overall, it was an experience that truly could not have been better.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is an INCREDIBLE tour. Junior was an amazing guide. This was a very technical and long hike with amazing rewards. When the hike got challenging, Junior was there all the time to help make things easier, telling us where we needed to step and making sure that we were enjoying the experience. I would 10 out of 10 take this hike with Junior every time

Must do in Dominica! Junior is the best, immaculate communication, excellent arrangement, great attention and took good care of all ages and all experience levels. Small group, ideal for cruise passengers too.

Great hike and made even better with our excellent guide, Junior. There were some challenging parts and some easier to make it balanced. Had a really great day.

This hike with Junior exceeded our expectations. The hike itself is litterally incredible, through the rainforest, rivers, waterfalls and fumaroles, until you reach the boiling lake which is pretty unique also. It is hard but Junior made us feel safe all the time and gave us lots of information about our surroundings as well as his country. He is also very friendly, a great guy!

The hardest hike of my life and my most favorite day of the cruise excursions. Learned a lot about the island and saw incredible views and experienced a little bit of the hot springs in addition to viewing the boiling lake. Then the swimming in the gorge at the end was the perfect way to finish the day. Definitely be aware that this hike does not allow for a lot of rest or break time!

This was such an amazing hike and we couldn't have asked for a better guide than Junior. He is super professional and knowledgeable.

Amazing hike through incredible landscapes, first through jungle, then through Desolation Valley with beautiful rock formations, boiling hot pools, fumaroles and steaming sulphur and then up to the boiling lake. And Julian was the best guide, he looks after you and is so knowledgable, not only about the wildlife and flora and forna of Dominica but also the history and its people. Probably one of my favourite hikes I’ve done yet, literally feels like you’re on another planet for parts of it. Doing this tour with Julian is definitely a must when visiting Dominica!

Incredibly challenging hike but the guides absolutely make sure you’re safe and okay the whole time. 100% worth it with otherworldly views and an amazing atmosphere. Just make sure you’re experienced and fit enough that you don’t get injured or have to turn around midway
