The Waitukubuli National Trail (WNT) is a first of it's kind - a long distance hiking trail in the Caribbean - and is located right here in Dominica, the Nature Island. Fondly know as the WNT, the trail covers 114 miles, spanning and twisting the length of Dominica. From Scotts Head in the south to Capuchin in the north, the trail winds from one end of Dominica to the other. Along the way it will take you through coastal villages, up woodland hills, into lush rainforest, past waterfalls, down to rivers, back up to the mountains and then down again to the sea. Dominica's unique and varied terrain will reveal her age-old secrets to you as you enjoy her natural beauty and vibrant, fresh air. You will also learn about Dominica's history as you trek across the National Trail. The WNT passes through traditional Carib villages, ruins of 18th Century French settlements, the renovated Fort Shirley at The Cabrits, secret 'Maron' passages where runaway slaves escaped and many more interesting historical and natural sites. The WNT was opened in 2011 while work continued. The official Grand Opening Ceremony was held at the Pond Casse Reception Center on May 10th, 2013. Note that from May 10th, 2013 the Waitukubuli National Trail's management falls under Forestry Division and the entire trail has been designated an Eco-Tourist Site, requiring site passes to visit.
