About This Tour

Experience the world's second-largest boiling lake alongside fellow adventurers from around the globe. This shared group tour is the most affordable way to hike with Elvis — Dominica's most experienced and certified guide.

You'll make your own way to the Titou Gorge trailhead in Laudat village, where Elvis will meet you for a thorough safety briefing before leading the group through ancient UNESCO World Heritage rainforest, the dramatic Valley of Desolation, and finally to the steaming, bubbling Boiling Lake itself.

The 14km round trip with 800m elevation gain is challenging but deeply rewarding. Elvis adjusts the pace for all groups and ensures everyone reaches the summit safely.
