Among the major highlights was a barefoot hike to Boeri Lake where she trekked through mud, rainforest as well as mist without traditional hiking gear and she described the experience as something “straight out of a movie.”

She also visited the renowned Trafalgar Falls where she was guided by a local tour operator. The twin waterfalls which are commonly known as “Father” and “Mother” Falls left a lasting impression on the influencer who described the powerful natural setting as unforgettable and deeply immersive.

“Standing there, surrounded by the rainforest, listening to the water thunder down the rocks… it felt like stepping straight into a nature documentary,” she shared.

The influencer also experienced Dominica’s famous Sulphur baths at Screw Sulphur Spa and noted its relaxing qualities after physically demanding hikes. She highlighted the spa’s reputation for soothing muscle pain and benefiting the skin while humorously questioning the origin of its name.
