Dominica's Boiling Lake is situated in the Morne Trois Pitons National Park - Dominica's World Heritage site. It is a flooded fumarole 6.5 miles (10.5 km) east of Roseau, Dominica. It is filled with bubbling greyish-blue water that is usually enveloped in a cloud of vapour. The lake is approximately 200 ft (60 m) across.
This stunning Caribbean island doesn’t attract many tourists because of its understated infrastructure but what it lacks in beaches it certainly makes up for it adventure. Choose to stay in a tree house eco-complex or hike to waterfalls in the Morne Trois Pitons National Park. The highlight of ‘Nature Island’ is a Boiling lake which is only reached by an energy-sapping all day trek. Once there your guide will be happy to use thermal power to make you a nice boiled egg.

There is no road leading directly to the lake. It is approximately a 13 kilometer hike to the lake from the nearest road, passing sulfur springs, over mountains and through gorges along the way.
On July 6, 2007, adventure-film maker George Kourounis became the first person to ever cross the boiling lake from above, suspended by ropes over the most violently boiling section. This event was filmed for the TV series Angry Planet.
