Finding 3 Rivers Dominica

Local trails


WATERFALLS

incredible 3 riers waterfall

3 RIVERS FALLS
This incredible waterfall can be reached following a really simple half hour walk from 3 Rivers. The trail is both beautiful and extremely easy, and involves a well made track and a little river walking. You can bathe under this 100-foot high cold shower and hear the sound of your screams echoing all around. The water drops close to a massive tree which forms a junction between 3 rivers, completely different from the rivers meeting at 3 Rivers itself !! We tell no-one else in Dominica how to find this little gem unless they are our guests.

space mountain waterfalls

THE SPACE MOUNTAIN FALLS
This cascade of five totally different waterfalls, gushing ferociously from great heights, lies hidden deep in the mountains of Dominica, directly behind 3 Rivers. After a two or three hour hike through the awe-inspiring forest, you arrive at the lowest of the five falls. To reach the rest you must climb the rocks at the edge of falls. Not too easy, but well worth the effort. A good way to get the most from these falls is to camp overnight in the Dominica rainforest and return slowly the next afternoon. We can supply you with food, a guide, and camping equipment, if you so wish.

coc cascades




COCO CASCADES
Situated within the Newfoundland Estate, an hour river hike away from 3 Rivers, these two sets of stunning little cacades will take your breath away. Easy access, stunning rainforest surroundings and plenty of water to bathe in.

flocky's twin falls

FLOCKY'S TWIN FALLS
Starting right here at 3 Rivers, the hike to Flocky's falls is short and beautiful through the lush rainforest. You can either follow the river for about an hour and a half, or follow a trail for 20 minutes, followed by 20 minutes walking up the river. A cool deep pool on the ridge between the two falls, and it is a truly stunning little spot. Not on the Dominica tourist maps.

grand fond dominica deriere waterfall

GRAND FOND - DERNIERE FALLS

spanny falls dominica

SPANNY'S TWIN FALLS
A twenty minutes drive, followed by a short twenty minute trail on a slippery track, leads you to two amazing little falls, hidden away in the forest and rarely visited. Both of them have excellent pools for bathing and it is a cool place to relax the day away.

aba ravine cyrique - Dominica secret waterfall

ABA RAVINE CYRIQUE - RIVIERE CYRIQUE
After a an hour and a half walk, or ten minute drive, followed by a difficult tree root descent of a cliff, you will reach Aba Ravine Cyrique. Here you will see a magnificent waterfall cascading from 130 feet off the cliff directly into the ocean. If you have even the slightest fear of heights this one is not for you and, again, you will not find this special place many of the general Dominica tourist maps.

sari sari falls dominica

This is one of Dominica's most famous falls. Reached after hiking for about an hour from La Plaine which is a 20 minute drive from 3 rivers.
