Secret Bay’s Guide to Dominica’s Hidden Waterfalls

Beyond Secret Bay’s seaside, clifftop setting lies Dominica’s emerald interior — a sanctuary where cascades reign supreme throughout the Nature Island. While sites like Trafalgar Falls and Emerald Pool grace the pages of every guidebook, we invite you to discover the lesser-known waterfalls that reveal the island’s character: pristine, powerful, and transformative. 

Middleham Falls

An hour’s journey through ancient rainforest delivers you to Middleham, where crystalline water descends nearly 200 feet into a natural basin. Here, swim in solitude as sunlight filters through the canopy, casting ephemeral patterns across the mist-laden air — a natural cathedral crafted over millennia.

Sari Sari Falls

For those seeking deeper connection with Dominica’s wilderness, Sari Sari offers an encounter with nature’s raw power. The challenging trail, navigating river crossings and volcanic stone, ensures this waterfall remains the realm of the determined few. Here, you’ll discover a spectacle of water carving through ancient rock with mesmerizing force.

Wavine Cyrique

Perhaps Dominica’s most striking natural masterpiece, Wavine Cyrique demands respect and rewards courage. The descent involves a rope-assisted climb down coastal cliffs, opening to a dramatic black sand beach where a stream falls to the Atlantic surf — a perfect convergence of mountain and sea.

Jacko Falls

Not all treasures require grand expeditions. Jacko Falls emerges just moments from the roadside, yet exists in its own tranquil realm. Its intimate proportions invite quiet contemplation — a place where the gentle rhythm of falling water becomes a natural meditation.
