Boeri Lake is just gorgeous! It is situated in the caldera of an old volcano, in the middle of the Trois Pitons National Park. The trail head to Boeri lake starts in about 8 km distance from Cocoa Cottage. Go up to Laudat and to Freshwater Lake, pass by Freshwater lake until you reach the end of the road. There the hike starts. It is about a 1 hour hike (medium difficulty) to Boeri Lake, through a lush, low growth jungle. The path can be slippery when it is raining, so watch your step.

Trafalgar Falls are famous for a good reason: they are beautiful, impressive, and unique. The visitor center is only about 3 km from Cocoa Cottage. From there it is only some easy steps until you reach the falls. You can swim in the pool, or climb up a little, if it is dry weather.

This is one of the hikes you will never forget. You have to see it. The trail head starts at about 7 km distance from Cocoa Cottage, behind Titou Gorge in Laudat. It is a very difficult hike (very extreme, you have to be in good shape in order to enjoy it). The hike takes 3 hours to the lake and 3 hours back. We strongly recommend that you get a guide for this tour! We can help you arrange this excursion with one of our experienced partners. Please don't miss this hike, everybody loved it!

Bubble Beach is perfect for chilling out, for sitting in a hot spa on the beach and watching the sunset, and for snorkeling.
The beach has some natural hot spring that runs into the ocean on the beach. A simple wall catches the hot water and forms a pool where the spring water mixes with sea water. Absolutely relaxing!
The beach has a bar, and they also rent some snorkeling equipment.
And there is great snorkeling out at the reef. You need to swim a bit, the nice area starts at the cylindrical buoy. There is also a nice
steep underwater wall with great fish, coral and sponges.
Bubble Beach is about 25 minutes by car from Cocoa Cottage.

This spot is magical! Volcanic gases form beautiful strings of bubbles that rise to the surface. Get your snorkeling gear (or rent it at the beach) and jump right in. There is also a nice reef with lots of tropical fish.
Champagne Reef is about 20 minutes drive from Cocoa Cottage.

This peninsula offers gorgeous views of the south of Dominica.
And it is also a prime spot for snorkeling. There is a steep wall with lots of black coral, right at the tip of Scotts Head. Be careful when you swim out, the water can be rough, especially where the Atlantic meets the Caribbean Sea. You can get into the water at a small beach on the Caribbean side. You can reach it by car when you drive towards the peninsula, it is on your right. You need to be a good swimmer, and ideally you should bring fins. The interesting area for snorkeling is about 15 minutes swim from the beach. Watch for currents!
