- Dana BOlympia, Washington30 contributionsno place like this.you are required to pay like 5 bucks for a life jacket - we got the half jacket, get a full. The tubes looked fun but where do you stash for your waterfall photo? You cannot touch the ground in the gorge and walls are slick, so get a good lifejacket to buoy you for photos. Bring or purchase a sealable, collapsable camera case there. We were there with about 8-10 others and got photos by ourselves.Visited December 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 8 January 2024
- ToujoursLaRouteParis, France1,253 contributionsYou need to try this to believe it!Just an amazing place to discover. The water is not very cold, despite a first impression. Still, you need to be a decent swimmer if you want to pass the gorges to the fall, as the water stream is quite strong, and you need first to swim against it, and than to avoid nasty collisions with the rocks on your way back. Quite an unique place worldwide!Visited February 2024Travelled with familyWritten 19 February 2024
- obx4saleHarbinger, North Carolina8 contributionsTitou Gorge…..A. M. A. Z. I. N. G.The trip through the Gorge was so worth it. I can be a little claustrophobic but never felt uncomfortable swimming to the waterfall and back. The water is cold but not numbing. It was so worth it. See the blue skies above framed with the lush tropical plants was beautiful and the water fall at the end is so powerful. Of course, seeing the location from a scene from the Pirates of the Carribean was an added bonus!!!Visited February 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten 9 March 2024
- RuleNoOneOfFightClub24 contributionsTitou Gorge was a great experience. Thank you Kurt JeremyI was initially skeptical about this experience. But it is definitely something to see and do. Kurt Jeremy from Khatts Tours made this experience so pleasant because of his knowledge and care. We were only with him for a few hours but he explained so much about the island and did not let us miss out on experiencing the gorge. I got stuck under the waterfall and he was able to help me get my foot out from under a rock without any injury. I was watching other guides and Kurt was so much more helpful than the other guides. He took the time to get to know us and is someone you should request next time you’re in Dominica. Thank you Kurt!!!Visited April 2024Travelled with familyWritten 10 May 2024

Our brave guide jumped from 15 feet into the gorge, but the rest of us swam a short distance into the narrow channel. The water was opaque with an unpleasant greenish tone, but not very cold.
At the end there was a small but very strong waterfall. One has to be determined to get all the way into it.
Floating on your back you get a nice view of the gorge and the vegetation around it.

Titou Gorge is a must do and one of the most beautiful spots in the already lovely island of Dominica. One part of the gorge is where they filmed Pirates of the Caribbean as Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom jumped in.
The swim up the short slot canyon took only moderate exertion, no problem for an average swimmer. The dozen senior adults in our group had no problem, and the staff are on hand to help you up the stone ledge to step into the final pool where the water fall is. And you are required to wear a float (ski belt) which makes it relaxing.
The water is cool, but really not that cold and you get used to it in a minute or less. It felt refreshing in fact.
You will need to get some sort of waterproof and floating housing for your smart phone however. You'd hate to drop it as parts of the swim are about 10 feet deep and with large smooth boulders at the bottom. But do take it!
Our trip combined the hot springs pools afterward, a short drive away. Perfect!

We booked a trip to do the Gorge and then Hot springs and we were not disappointed. When you arrive you get a lifevest on then you enter the water and swim through the cave until you come to a mighty powerful waterfall. The water is very cold at first but once you start swimming it soon warms up. When you get to the waterfall it is amazing but very powerful. I was helped up by someone and could not stay there very long because of the power so came back through the Gorge to the exit. It is something I never planned to do but I am so glad I did, it was an incredible experience. One thing I would say and this goes for my whole two weeks cruising the Caribbean, I wish I had invested in a waterproof camera because so many beautiful photo opportunities were missed.

Beautiful gorge with very cold clear waters. I was brought there by my guide Chadi Symes, we swam into the gorge until the end where you can see a beautiful waterfall. Incredible site, a definitely must- see and must swim in it.

The experience can turn into a nightmare if you come across a group of noisy tourists renting buoys because the gap is small... However, if there is no one there, it's fantastic! We went there twice in a row. I remind you that you have to keep the place clean. Not like this tourist who leaves her cigarette butt on the stone before entering the water! I asked him to put his cigarette butt away in his belongings and to refrain from smoking in such a beautiful place, especially in the presence of around twenty children from a holiday center coming from Martinique!

Kurt Jeremy from Khatts tours was booked through Fort Young hotel. Kurt was very knowledgeable about island flora and fauna, island life/history! We did a tour of Trafalgar falls and the Titous gorge with a few stops along the way. Kurt escorted us to the falls in the gorge safely and professionally and provided some entertainment as well. We really enjoyed his company and the information and experience he provided. Highly recommended!

I highly recommend going to Titou Gorge! I've never experienced anything quite like this. Swimming through the gorge to the waterfall was a unique experience. It was truly beautiful and amazing. So glad we did this!

Hallo, kann mir jemand sagen, ob der Weg vom Parkplatz bis zur Sorge mit Kleinkind (1,5 ggf in Trage) und 6 jährigem Kind zu bewältigen ist?
Vielen Dank!

Bonjour,
Je souhaite savoir s'il est possible de faire cette activité avec de jeunes enfants munis de gilets de sauvetage ou bouées (4 ans et 2 ans) ou si c'est trop dangereux.
Merci.

C'est trop dangereux avec jeunes enfants.

Nous allons à Roseau en novembre avec Royal Caribbean. Nous ne sommes pas de très bon nageur.Pensez-vous qu'avec les gilets de sauvetages, c'est réalisable?
Written 10 October 2016
Hi,
We are considering doing this when we visit in November. My wife is not a very strong swimmer and is a bit wary. Is there a current, is it deep? Would this be suitable for a non/not very confident swimmer?
Many thanks

I can't swim at all and I enjoyed it. They have life jackets and very helpful staff. She will be fine.

Are there secure lockers to leave your things in?
Written 20 February 2015
We also used a Tillak Kiwanda Dry Bag and took our valuables in the water with us. As an added precaution, I also put our phones, keys, money and credit cards in an additional Pelican box inside the dry bag. Be sure to roll the bag at least 3 times to ensure a good seal. I also kept some air in the bag so that it would float on top the water. Nothing ever got wet and we never had to worry about our stuff getting stolen. NOTE: You cannot submerge the bag otherwise it will get wet inside, the front little zipper pocket is not waterproof, I would get a light color as black absorbs heat making the bag hot inside which is bad for electronics also if you get yellow it acts as a flag so boaters can see you easier.
We also brought a cheap $10 sports equipment net for carrying our snorkel gear in. It doubled as a sandal bag we could take in the water with us so we didn't have to worry about someone stealing our sandals (it has happened before).

How far from the cruise port is the gorge and are cabs reasonable and reliable?
Written 13 January 2015
The gorge is a good distance from the port. We went with the excursion from the ship. We are glad that we did, because the tour came back late and the ship waited. However, if you go on your own the ship won't wait.
