Dominica’s Cable Car to Boiling Lake: A Landmark Project by Outdoor Engineers AG

Transforming Access to Boiling Lake

Imagine soaring above the lush Caribbean rainforest, the vibrant greens of Dominica stretching as far as the eye can see. In just 20 minutes, you’re transported to the breathtaking Boiling Lake, a journey that used to demand six hours of challenging hiking. This dream is becoming a reality thanks to one of the world’s longest detachable cable cars, spanning 6.6 kilometres (4.1 miles). Behind this transformative project is Outdoor Engineers AG, the company turning bold visions into seamless experiences.

The Vision: Combining Accessibility and Sustainability

The idea was simple yet ambitious: make Dominica’s natural wonders accessible while preserving its pristine environment. Outdoor Engineers AG tackled this challenge with a commitment to sustainability, designing a cable car system that integrates harmoniously with the island’s natural beauty. Every aspect—from the design of the stations to the construction materials—was chosen to ensure minimal ecological impact. Their work reflects a deep respect for Dominica’s character and a passion for innovative solutions.

Engineering Excellence in Record Time

Outdoor Engineers AG wasted no time bringing this vision to life. With their expertise, they turned rugged rainforest terrain into a pathway for progress, meeting ambitious deadlines without cutting corners. Imagine engineers meticulously surveying the landscape, mapping the most efficient and environmentally friendly route, and using state-of-the-art equipment to construct towers and stations.
This wasn’t just a feat of engineering; it was a symphony of precision and dedication. By leveraging their experience and cutting-edge technology, the team installed the detachable cable car system—known for its reliability and efficiency—to ensure smooth rides for visitors.

An Authentic Customer Journey

From the moment visitors arrive, they’re immersed in an experience uniquely tailored to Dominica’s culture and charm. At the valley station, a lively retail area and food court offer a taste of the island’s local specialties. It’s more than a starting point; it’s a celebration of Dominica’s vibrant community.


The journey continues at the mountain station, where a restaurant with a panoramic terrace invites travelers to pause and take in the spectacular views. As visitors explore, they’ll encounter the towering 6-meter statue of the Sisserou parrot, Dominica’s national bird, proudly standing at the island’s highest point. It’s a landmark that embodies the island’s unique identity.

A Gateway to Nature

The final leg of the adventure is a short hike to the Boiling Lake, where visitors are greeted by the mesmerizing sight of one of the world’s largest hot springs. Thanks to the cable car, what was once a grueling trek is now an accessible, eco-friendly experience, opening up Dominica’s natural wonders to a broader audience while preserving its delicate ecosystem.
