    Trail currently in poor condition

    The National Trail is a great innovation by the local tourist authorities, and regrettably was significantly damaged by Hurricane Maria. Whist short sections have been restored it is unlikely that any significant and continuous lengths will be open again until the 2018/19 hiking season. Before...More

    Long hike that you can do in sections

    My husband and I are not avid hikers so we took on the Waitukubuli trail in segments and stuck to the "easier" hikes. I say "easy" because Dominica has a different definition that you or I. All the segments were did were beautiful, worthwhile, and...More

    I section hiked Capuchin to Syndicate, some sections twice, and First Camp to Colihaut. The hardest sections were 8 and 9. I advise using a guide especially on those segments even though the trail is well marked for safety reasons; I only met 2 people...More
