What are people saying about Boiling Lake

Mano_C, May 2026

Fantastic views! Knowledgeable guide!

Great communication from the operator and guide Antoine on the day leading up to and day of the hike. Antoine was super knowledgeable about the flora and fauna of the island, and kind enough to take pictures. It was a group of 3 (shoutout to the Chicago folks if you see this), so we kept a good pace. I tracked it at 7 miles in about 6.5 hours total. I loved the experience and recommend it.

Exceptional experience not for the weary or weak.

This is a very challenging excursion and suggested for more seasoned hikers. The terrain has many elements including multitude of altitude changes inculding rivers, forest and valley of hot water sulfur springs. Special thanks to our very informative and patience guide Nahgie

Hard as F$*%

This was physically the hardest thing I’ve ever done, but so amazing and worth making it to the lake. Junior was an amazing guide and was so gracious with my daughters that wanted to give up! The views were so amazing and beautiful. This is not a hike for the weak. You will hike, climb rocks, dredge through ankle deep mud, and cross lots of water. Make sure to do a mid mask, your skin will thank you!

Boiling Lake Hike

AllTrails is serious about the challenge of this hike. Lots of people did the hike without a guide, but it was obviously a mistake to not have a guide due to the challenge and remoteness of this hike. Despite being sore for a few days after, I loved every minute of this hike and would recommend it to anyone with a foundation in physical fitness

This is not an easy hike...

This is not an easy hike but it has the best views on the island. It's an experience you can't get anywhere else. Antoine was very knowledgeable about the trees, plants and wildlife, along with the history. He was very patient and accommodating. He makes it look easy! Not for the feight of heart. Wear good shoes and go at your own pace. Bring lots of water and good snacks and wear a bathing suit. If you can, definitely take a dip in the sulfur river.

Great experience, worth it.

Pickup at Roseau, 7-8 hour english very well guided tour through the national park, brought back to Roseau. Bring your own water bottle, lunch and swiming clothes. Dont expect a snackpack. Dont mind the cable car that is in construction right now. The guide was very experienced. #thumsup. We had a great day and tipps for our next days on Dominica, really worth it.

Great times at the Boiling Lake!

We had a fantastic experience! There was some confusion with getting off of our cruise ship and meeting at the location for transport, and our driver was excellent. He was so patient and accommodating and stayed in communication really well. The hike itself was amazing. This is one of the biggest hikes we've done and our guide was helpful throughout, offering some advice but also giving us latitude for our own pace. He was a great conversationalist besides! The landscape throughout the hike and the lake itself were stunning. Would highly recommend all the way around (although our legs are still sore)!

Exercise caution when booking this excursion

Be careful, this is not just a hike. It is 8 hours of constant climbing and every step requires focus and patience. Going through valley of desolation is utterly exhausting. I want to point to Viator to assign more experienced and engaged guides to this excursion. The guide we were assigned to, Urel, had none of the necessary and essential skills. Imagine while you are struggling with constant climbing, your guide telling you how two days ago some guy who was 22 fell while doing work up in the boiling lake and died; and few months ago a girl from neighbouring island of Martinique, disappeared and they never found her. This is neither encouraging nor professional. Then he goes hopping on one leg trying to show what? Dominance? It felt like he came here for his fun and to do his job. Also, he says something along the lines, ‘I can’t walk slow’ and then he just disappears in the woods, we would meet him 20 minutes later sitting and listening to the music. We got more assistance from other guides as we would bump into their groups than from our own guide. Bottom line, Viator, you need to be better. We use your company for all our excursions, on all our trips around the world, and this is the first time we experienced something like this. About the Boiling lake, it is amazing experience if you survive. Don’t take kids younger than 14, make sure you have proper hiking shoes and rain jackets; bring water and food, as none of this is provided along the way. Make sure you get a good night sleep the night before and don’t be late; great time to start is 8am, as you don’t want to be in the woods after dark.
