Syndicate Falls by Lime Rocks

A rainforest waterfall at the foot of Morne Diablotin

A waterfall in the rainforest

Syndicate Falls, also known as Milton Falls, sits in the forest of Syndicate, in the north west of Dominica, below Morne Diablotin (1,447 m / 4,747 ft). The area borders Morne Diablotin National Park, home to the island’s two endemic parrots.

A short walk downhill, with a few river crossings, brings you to the falls, which drop about 100 feet into a rock pool. Take a dip, sit on the rocks and enjoy the sound of the forest.
