We had an exhilarating experience canyoning with Jeffrey and Akeel. They are funny, knowledgeable and truly love what they do. We fell in love with canyoning on our first experience in Costa Rica but canyoning in Dominica was at another level. The canyons were exquisite and unlike anything we had seen before. We jumped into beautiful pools of emerald colored water that kept us refreshed and wanting more. Both Jeffrey and Akeel guided us through all the various adventure points making us feel very safe. Each cliff jump and rappel was different which made our excursion so much more exciting - we never knew what was coming. They joked, sang, took our pictures and made us laugh - memories that will be with us forever. It was an unforgettable experience and one that we highly recommend. Don’t shy away from this experience even if you are afraid of heights - it will be one of the top highlights of your vacation! We can’t wait to try the advanced canyoning and rappel down Trafalgar falls the next time we are in Dominica.
3. Emerald Pool & Trafalgar Falls Water Adventure
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 2 reviews
Guests will depart from Roseau to the Emerald Pool driving through Canefield arriving at the Emerald Pool. This wonderful waterfall grotto is located in the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Morne Trois Piton National Park. An easy 30-minute hike takes the guests through magnificent overhanging trees and lush vegetation to the pool, which appears green in the tree-filtered sunlight. Guests will be able to go for a dip, and swim right up to the waterfall! On the way back there are two view points where the Atlantic Coast and Morne Laurent can be seen to the left, rising to an elevation of 2,248 ft. Breathtaking! Following the visit of the Emerald Pool, guests will go to the Trafalgar Falls. It is a short 10 to 15 minute walk along a well-maintained path from the Visitor Reception centre, where you can photograph both falls from a viewing platform. The more daring can continue on to swim in the refreshing waters of the smaller waterfall or find the hot springs at the tallest falls.

jan 2018 i had an amazing trip booked with woody on my 50th birthday and as we were only in Dominica for a few hours woody planned to still accomodate us even though other cruise may have been there with all day passengers, we had great communication and felt woody to be a friend even though we had never met , sadley the hurricane irma arrived, our plans destroyed as was the whole of the island as the ships could not visit, more so it devestated woodys home and livleyhood with no tourists for a year, we still intend to hopefully go back one day and meet this wonderful man and friend as we like to call him

8. Roseau City Tour with Botanical Gardens & Trafalgar Falls
Overall Ratings
4.6 based on 8 reviews
Discover the best of the city of Roseau on a one and a half hour sightseeing tour with an expert guide. Traveling by comfortable coach or minivan, take in the city's top landmarks as you absorb the rustic Caribbean island atmosphere. Snap photos of the old slave market and the Victorian and Caribbean architectural era of buildings, venture into the local food and fruit market, view the entire city from above and on top the historic Morne Bruce and the highlight of any visit to Roseau: take a stroll through the Botanical Gardens to see the Caribbean and West African flora and the national bird of Dominica, the Sisserou parrot (Amazona imperalis). Due to popular demand, we included a visit one of the most famous waterfalls in the Caribbean, The Trafalgar Falls. Finally, a visit to one of the most remarkable geothermal wonders of the island in the small village of Watten Waven. This tour is much more than a just a Roseau city sightseeing.
Inclusions: Bottled water, Professional guide, Hotel or port pickup and drop-off, Air-conditioned vehicle
Exclusions: Gratuities, Souvenir photos (available to purchase)

Our group went on the dolphin and whale watching tour in Dominica. Captain Curt was very knowledgeable. We enjoyed the fact that we saw many whales, even saw a couple breaching! First time for my husband and I - we were very impressed.

Remember you are in a rain forrest. Most of the terrain will be wet or damp. That said it is just beautiful and breathtaking. The Falls are wonderful. However, to get to the Emerald pool you had better be wearing some form of water shoe with tread. We saw some people struggle getting into the pool itself. Again, the beauty is just incredible and the tour is worth the money. The money spent here is better than going to the volcanic beaches
