A beautiful hidden waterfall on the magic island of Dominica
This wonderful tale was shared by Carina of TradeWinds.
A sailing vacation is so much more than just sailing. Land excursions, opportunities to hike, run, and zip line are the experiences that add a zest of excitement to the vacation. At TradeWinds, we don’t just travel, we EXPLORE!
When I worked as a Chef onboard, I remember anchoring in the charming village of Portsmouth on Dominica’s north western point, and going on a little island tour of Dominica. We asked our guests to bring along a beach towel and a swimsuit, just in case. Up in the mountains and the lush, dense rainforest flew green parrots – what a sight! At one point, we stopped close to a trail and hiked our way to the waterfalls. The cool scent of the jungle, the water stream rushing by and the sounds getting noisier as we grew closer gave us the adrenaline kick that comes when adventure is right around the corner.
In the clearing we discovered a beautiful and noisy waterfall. All of a sudden we were rushing to get changed, huddling in towels and into swimsuits. We all wanted to be the first in! No matter how professional a group of adults are, we all can turn into kids in a heartbeat. The group of new found friends were jumping up and down, screaming, laughing and getting wet It was a day full of the true joy of an experience – so much fun and like Garry often says; Isn’t FUN the best thing to have!!
Thank you Dusty DuBois for a stunning photo of what I believe is that very same waterfall!!
