Tripadvisors tilnærming til anmeldelser
Hver Tripadvisor-anmeldelse går gjennom et automatisert sporingssystem før den legges ut. Dette systemet samler inn informasjon som svarer på følgende spørsmål: Hvordan, hva, hvor og når. Hvis systemet oppdager noe som muligens strider imot retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet, blir anmeldelsen ikke publisert.
Når systemet oppdager et problem, kan en anmeldelse automatisk avvises, sendes til anmelderen for bekreftelse eller gjennomgås manuelt av teamet vårt av innholdsspesialister. Disse spesialistene jobber døgnet rundt for å opprettholde kvaliteten av anmeldelsene på nettstedet vårt.
Teamet vårt sjekker hver anmeldelse som er lagt ut på nettstedet og bestrides av fellesskapet vårt for ikke å møte retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet.

Had a refreshing dip in this beautiful waterfall on a very warm August day. Made so many memories and I can't wait to go back again!

Dominica is a small, beautiful island where 90% of the people would take the shirt off their backs to help a tourist. However, there are a small few who think they can do whatever they want and there are no consequences.
I wasn’t new to Dominica when I visited in 2023. I served as a Peace Corps Volunteer for 3 years in La Plaine and lived another year in the capital of Roseau. I’d visited almost every corner of the island and decided to try Jaco Falls as something different with a local friend. We paid our entrance fees and went down, hoping to enjoy swimming in the pool. Instead, when we got down, they were doing a photo shoot for Miss Dominica (so there were 6 women styling and posing in front of the falls and in the water), meaning we couldn’t enjoy the waterfall whatsoever. We immediately went back up and asked the woman for a refund, telling her there was no way we could even dip our toes in the water. It became clear fast that she had known the photo shoot was happening (and knew it when we purchased our ticket less than an hour before). She refused to refund the tickets, saying she couldn’t control what happened once people got down there.
In the US, you would call that woman a sketchy thief. Down there, you would call her a jumbi thief. Regardless, we had paid for tickets to access the falls when she knew full well there was an event going on already. The fact that she didn’t refund the tickets puts a stain on Dominica tourism and makes tourists think everyone is dishonest.
Instead of going to this mediocre waterfall, please know there are many other options around the island for a fun excursion:
-La Plaine’s waterfall with a medium level hike to it (pay $20 for a guide)
-Emerald Pool with a simple paved hike (pay the park entry fee)
-Snorkeling with bubbles at Champagne Beach on the southwest side
-Idyllic swimming and a small hike at Scott’s Head on the southwestern-most tip of the island
-Swimming and good vibes at Mero Beach on the west coast in the middle of the island
-Quiet swimming at Purple Turtle Beach on the northwest
-A million free rivers where you can stop and swim

We went on a shore excursion from our cruise ship. We were given about 30 minutes at the site--It takes about 5 minutes to walk down the stairs (use the handrails the stairs can be slippery). The water is very cold and it's easy to get in up to your knees. Getting in further is not for the faint of heart because of the temperature--but legend has it that if you fully immerse in the water you will become more youthful. There is a bar and clean restrooms at the top of the falls and there is a viewing platform if you don't want to do stairs.

Als kurzer Zwischenstop, um sich während der Fahrt über die Insel die Beine zu vertreten auf jeden Fall lohnenswert. Extra anreisen müsst ihr dafür nicht, da gibt es weit schönere nd imposantere Wasserfälle. Trotzdem ein kleiner, aber feiner Wasserfall, den man zu Fuß von der Straße innerhalb von 5 Minuten erreicht, umgeben von Regenwaldnatur.

This was part of a ship excursion. Since I didn't know how long it would take to walk down to the falls, I viewed it from the lookout.
If you have unlimited time< i would suggest walking down to the falls.....be sure to wear your swimsuit so you can go swimming.
We were given a free drink (maybe it was part of the tour). Also there were a few souvenirs for sale.

Gorgeous Falls- an easy walk down a few banks of stairs to a hidden pool. The water is crystal clear and you can see fish and crabs swimming around. The falls are lovely and just a short drive from Emerald Pool.

Incredibly beautiful - please see pictures. Fun to walk to (perhaps 10 minute walk from road, down steps. Fun to wade into, and paddle over to the falls if you care to. Rock bottom is not very deep, and is uneven.
Can't overstate the beauty of this place. Came here on tour arranged by Viking Cruise lines.

This waterfall was stunning, and on our tour was called the Habiscus Waterfall (I think!). I went into the water at the base of the waterfall and although it was a bit refreshing shall we say, it was absolutely stunning. It was a bit hit and miss with the rock below foot though, as of course it’s a natural setting so there are loose, uneven and sloppy rock everywhere! There’s a viewing point as well for those with limited mobility or for those who would rather not climb down the 70ish steps to reach it.
