Summary:
We had such a lovely time with Nathalie as our guide. She has been canyoning for 20 years and made what can be a challenging experience for beginners feel like a breeze. The Titou gorge is simply wonderful, when the sun beams from the top you get these beautiful rays of light which illuminates the clear water. You’ll feel like you are living in a pirates of the Caribbean film. Nathalie and Carline (our guides) were so friendly and always happy to answer questions, give recommendations for food and places to visit, show the faun and flora, and you get a great understanding of the culture here in Dominica. It was the highlight of our trip !!
