Syndicate Falls

Located just below fabulous 100' tall Syndicate Falls, brand new Camp DominEco now features overnight camping in our huge riverside family size tents, two all wood tree houses (one in a cinnamon tree!)and enjoy the bush bar, organic farming, and huge herb garden...Agro Tourism at it's best! We also have a nice "emerald pool" of our own, see the photos. Call for a taxi to Camp DominEco and stay the night while hiking the Waitikubuli trail. Parrots, fruits, drinks, souvenirs, we may even have a zip line by the time you arrive! Peace. Captain Mark

Reviewed By tediliciousmusic - Roseau, Caribbean

The waterfall is nice, the road to get to the waterfall needs improvements, only a 4wheel drive vehicle can access the area due to the current road conditions. The track to the falls are visible, however improvement is needed also the falls area needs to be cleared. There are stones with fencing in the falls landing which seems dangerous to take a swim. I would not go back there in a hurry.

Cabrits National Park

Reviewed By reedmangreg - Chicago, United States

Visiting Fort Shirley was our first attraction during first leg of Dominica vacation. If you stay on the west coast it's an absolutely no brainer but if you are coming from either south/Roseau or east/Marigot you may want to combine this stop with something else; preferably Indian River as you will be lazy on the river and actually have energy for walking around the Cabrits... as there plenty to walk around and/or hike. The fort is beautifully preserved/renovated; the multiple cannons of different kinds are probably the most numerous I have experienced around Caribbeans islands for the fort this size, super nice vista from where the cannons stand with all of them aligned! Also the museum at the entrance is pretty cool with lots of 3D displays - very nice quality for such a modest spot considering everybody passes through it and focuses on the fort and what's up the hill rather than at the entrance. Now there are couple things you can do; roam around the fort or take one of the two hiking trails; a. Yellow Trail = West Cabrit battery is a pretty steep and uneven terrain with a lovely bench to relax about half way through; it's somewhat challenging - the views at the end are nice although don't expect a treasure chest; it's just a cannon and beautiful blue seas as far as you can see... well and maybe the neighboring islands of Guadeloupe in sight :) closed comfy shoes are an absolute must here, I would not dare taking this one with flip flops as it's too easy even in regular shoes to twist your ankle b. Blue Trail = this one much flatter and easier, it can lead you to different places - it's not super accurate on the map so having google maps with gps helped at times making decisions - we made here to the point #26 on the map "view point" and decided we are satisfied (the yellow trail definitely cost us more energy than we thought we would leave at the fort:P) Enjoy the vegetation and nice windy air, there are numerous benches around the grounds and even sitting on them for a while is a super treat considering the views you have in front of you. TIP: part of the national system the park of course is included in your weekly pass TIP: parking lot is before the main gate, from here you have to walk up a bit - I would say flips flops/sandals for the fort itself are generally fine but shoes are better. The hills can be challenging at times so take "your time" and do it on the island time :)
