Description of the area:
3 Rivers is set in a lush rainforest valley, surrounded by pristine rivers with a backdrop of rainforest mountains, in unspoiled eastern Dominica. We have four natural river pools within our boundaries.
It is ideally located on the edge of The Morne Trois Pitons National Park for hiking and wildlife watching.
There are an abundance of incredible hikes to all kinds of natural wonders, waterfalls, lakes, hot springs, boiling lake and plenty more.
We are about a 20 minute drive from a spectacular Atlantic beach, which also happens to be the most popular turtle nesting ground in Dominica

Making a difference:
We are powered solely by renewable energy, we use only biodegradable cleaning products and our gardens are 100% organic.
We run a community life package holiday, where every day of activities is spent in the village with the locals, learning local farming methods, crafts, and helping in the village school. The host for each activity receives the payment for the day.
Through our new registered NGO, The Sustainable Living Initiative , we facilitate a programme of Alternative Energy and Organic Farming Training Modules. Trainees are involved in both theoretical instruction and practical construction of alternative energy units initially at the centre and subsequently in their homes, farms and communities. The idea is that the trainees are able to see one unit installed and working and they can learn “hands on” with a second unit, which is disassembled and reassembled many times. Participants are able to purchase their own unit at cost or by installments through a revolving loan fund, to be installed by the instructor and trainees during another workshop for people in that village. The idea is also to train the trainees as instructors to run future workshops.
