Dominica has a vast
network of hiking trails
that suits all interests and
levels of ability. Most trails
traverse through diverse
natural habitats such
as rainforest, montane
thicket or elfin woodland.
The scale and diversity of
hiking in Dominica makes
the island unique to the
Caribbean region.
As a means of
encouraging visitors to
hike the various trails
in Dominica, Discover
Dominica Authority has
developed Dominica’s
official Trail Hiker’s
Logbook and Passport.
This hike passport is a
fun way to record one’s
hiking experiences; Hikers
will be awarded for their
achievements, based on
the number of trails hiked.
Hike passports are free
of charge and can be
obtained from Discover
Dominica Authority’s
main office on Great
Marlborough Street,
Forestry Division, DHTA
office and Tourist
Information offices at the
Roseau Bayfront, Roseau
Ferry Terminal and
Douglas-Charles Airport.
Because Dominica’s hikes
are all very different and
have their own unique
challenges, each is given
a score against the
TREAD categories listed
in the hike passport.
These ratings are simply
meant as indicators to
help hikers make hiking
choices; the indicator
provides details on the
level of difficulty.
The Government of
Dominica through the
Ministry of Tourism and
Culture has invested
in the restoration of
various hiking trails,
reconstruction and
refurbishment of
structures on or near the
trails, so as to provide
great experiences to
visitors and locals alike.
