Upon arrival, nature lovers and thrill-seekers will want to lace up their hiking shoes and set out on the trail to Middleham Falls. Towering high in the heart of the rainforest, this spectacular cascade is one of the tallest waterfalls on the island, surrounded by dense jungle, mossy rocks, and the sound of rushing water. The trail itself is part of the Waitukubuli National Trail, the Caribbean’s first long-distance hiking route, offering an authentic immersion into Dominica’s untamed beauty.
After your hike, head to a local Dominican restaurant for lunch, where you’ll experience bold, earthy island flavors—think slow-roasted meats, plantains, coconut rice, and perhaps a dash of the island’s famous pepper sauce.
In the afternoon, unwind at Batibou Beach, a stunning crescent of golden sand backed by swaying coconut palms. Though Dominica has fewer beaches than its island neighbors due to its volcanic terrain, this one is a standout—perfect for a refreshing swim or a scuba dive in the clear waters just offshore. Grab a rum punch at the beach bar, kick off your shoes, and let the serene rhythm of Dominica sink in.
For the curious, Dominica is also home to the Boiling Lake, the second-largest hot spring in the world, and the island’s national bird, the rare and colorful sisserou parrot, can only be found here—so keep your eyes on the canopy.
As the sun dips behind the rainforest peaks, return to your yacht for a tranquil evening, with the sounds of Dominica’s wild heart humming softly in the background.
