A must-do! This place wasn't in any guidebook, and we stumbled upon it yesterday. We turned back because we were annoyed at having to pay for EVERY natural site here. We finally came back today, and frankly, we weren't disappointed! Hardly anyone there, three waterfalls, and two pools. The scenery at midday with the sun at its zenith was magnificent. The path is a bit rough between pool 1 and waterfall 2, but it's manageable with water shoes. And it's always possible to go directly from pool 1 to pool 2 (or vice versa). The owners do a great job making the access points usable, and we don't regret paying 15 EC for this place.

Super nice landowners. Absolutely not touristy. Really cool place. Short walk over a steep concrete path, which can be a bit slippery.

A truly wonderful experience. Three waterfalls, two with magnificent pools, all on private property where everything is done with the owner's limited resources. We were able to chat with him; his work is impressive. He told us he's been working on developing the site for two years. We paid 15 XCD per person, and the waterfalls are less than a 15-minute walk from the parking area. My favorite site in Dominica—simple, spectacular, and truly inspiring for the owner's land clearing efforts.
