From Volcanoes to Waterfalls: Build Your Dream Tour Package from Villa Copthall

Villa Copthall • September 23, 2025

Dominica is a land of living landscapes: steaming volcanoes, thundering waterfalls, vibrant coral reefs, and lush rainforest trails.

“We started the morning above the clouds at Boiling Lake, rinsed off in a waterfall, floated through a gorge, then ended with a sunset soak in volcanic springs. All in one day — all from Villa Copthall.”


Dominica is a land of living landscapes: steaming volcanoes, thundering waterfalls, vibrant coral reefs, and lush rainforest trails. It’s no wonder the island is called The Nature Island — here, every day can be a new adventure.

At Villa Copthall, we believe that exploring should be easy, personalized, and deeply connected to the land. That’s why we offer customizable tour packages curated by locals who know Dominica’s treasures inside and out.

Whether you’re craving high-altitude hikes or relaxing mineral soaks, snorkeling through volcanic bubbles or strolling through Roseau’s botanical history — we’ve got you covered.

Let’s explore the unforgettable experiences you can access directly from your doorstep at Villa Copthall.


Boiling Lake Hike — The Crown Jewel of Caribbean Trails

Duration: ~6–8 hours
Fitness Level: Advanced
Guide Required: Yes

One of the top adventure hikes in the world, Dominica’s Boiling Lake is a volcanic marvel like no other. The journey takes you through dense rainforest, across the Valley of Desolation (where steam hisses from the earth), and ends at the world’s second-largest boiling lake — a bubbling, otherworldly crater shrouded in mist.

From Villa Copthall:
We arrange your early morning departure with trusted guides, packed lunches, and roundtrip transport. Guests return exhilarated — and ready for a long soak (see Ti Kwen Glo Cho below).


Local Tip: Add a stop at the Titou Gorge on your way back for a swim through a canyon straight out of a movie.


Waterfall Circuit — The Triple Flow Experience

Stops include:

  • Titou Gorge – swim through a mountain throat
  • Trafalgar Falls – twin cascades with hot & cold springs
  • Middleham Falls – hike to a towering rainforest plunge

Dominica’s waterfalls aren’t just beautiful — they’re sacred. Water flows from the mountain heartlands, cutting through volcanic rock and creating some of the most refreshing swimming spots on earth.

From Villa Copthall, you’re ideally located in the Roseau Valley — just minutes from three of the island’s most iconic waterfalls. We make it easy to do them all in one custom waterfall loop, with flexible time for swimming, hiking, and soaking in nearby springs.


Photography Tip: Early morning light through Middleham Falls creates magical mist effects.


Champagne Reef Snorkeling — A Volcanic Underwater Wonderland

Duration: Half-day
Gear Provided: Yes
Location: South of Roseau

This is Dominica’s most famous snorkeling site, and for good reason. Champagne Reef gets its name from the tiny volcanic bubbles that rise from the sea floor — as if you’re swimming in a glass of sparkling wine.

Expect to see:
Vibrant coral
Tropical fish (parrotfish, angelfish, trumpetfish)
Octopus, turtles, and the occasional seahorse


Pair this with: A city tour of Roseau or a beach picnic on your return.


Hot Springs & Wellness Circuit — Relax and Rejuvenate

After all that adventure, your muscles will thank you.

The Sulphur Springs of Wotten Waven are just 10–15 minutes from Villa Copthall. This is a natural spa zone, where hot mineral waters bubble out of the earth, feeding healing pools and mud baths.

We recommend:

  • Ti Kwen Glo Cho – gardens, herbal tubs, and a rustic charm
  • Screw’s Sulphur Spa – multiple hot/cold pools, vibrant atmosphere
  • Bongo Baths – quieter, traditional soaking areas
  • Tia’s – home-style pools and clay treatments

Our tour packages can include spa passes, transport, and towel service. Let your muscles unwind and your skin soak in the natural minerals Dominica is known for.


Roseau City Tour — Culture, History, and Views

Duration: 2–3 hours
Best For: Arrival day or cruise stopover

See Dominica’s capital with fresh eyes. This guided walk/drive tour includes:

  • A stroll through the Old Market Square, once the slave market, now a hub of local crafts
  • Visits to Botanical Gardens, with rare Caribbean flora and aviary exhibits
  • A scenic drive to Morne Bruce, with panoramic views over Roseau and the bay
  • Stops for local bites, rum tasting, and photos

It’s the perfect intro to the island’s colonial history, Creole culture, and everyday rhythm of life.


Add-on: Combine this with a lunch at V Lounge at Villa Copthall for a full day of flavor and heritage.
