Although some trails such as the short walks near Jungle Bay are self-guided, we do highly recommend touring with a guide for other trails. The guides are local and very familiar with the terrain, the flora and fauna and possible danger points. Many of the trails in Dominica are not well marked nor well-trodden. Our guides are certified and highly knowledgeable and can enhance your hiking experience. If you do decide to head out on your own, we would be happy to give you advice on whether or not a guide is required for a specific trail.
