you are required to pay like 5 bucks for a life jacket - we got the half jacket, get a full. The tubes looked fun but where do you stash for your waterfall photo? You cannot touch the ground in the gorge and walls are slick, so get a good lifejacket to buoy you for photos. Bring or purchase a sealable, collapsable camera case there. We were there with about 8-10 others and got photos by ourselves.

Just an amazing place to discover. The water is not very cold, despite a first impression. Still, you need to be a decent swimmer if you want to pass the gorges to the fall, as the water stream is quite strong, and you need first to swim against it, and than to avoid nasty collisions with the rocks on your way back. Quite an unique place worldwide!

The trip through the Gorge was so worth it. I can be a little claustrophobic but never felt uncomfortable swimming to the waterfall and back. The water is cold but not numbing. It was so worth it. See the blue skies above framed with the lush tropical plants was beautiful and the water fall at the end is so powerful. Of course, seeing the location from a scene from the Pirates of the Carribean was an added bonus!!!

I was initially skeptical about this experience. But it is definitely something to see and do. Kurt Jeremy from Khatts Tours made this experience so pleasant because of his knowledge and care. We were only with him for a few hours but he explained so much about the island and did not let us miss out on experiencing the gorge. I got stuck under the waterfall and he was able to help me get my foot out from under a rock without any injury. I was watching other guides and Kurt was so much more helpful than the other guides. He took the time to get to know us and is someone you should request next time you’re in Dominica. Thank you Kurt!!!
