The video shows a part of the trail from the Boiling Lake through the Valley of Desolation (hot spring area) and down to the Trois Piton river.
The trail (roundtrip from the parking near Titou Gorge):
Total altitude gain: 800-900 meters
Distance: 10 kilometers
Time required: 6 -7 hours
Difficulty: medium to hard - the descent (and ascent when you go back!) from Morne Nicholls (the highest point of the trail) to the Valley of Desolation is steep; also you need to use a rope a couple of times.
Overall, the trail is doable and well worth it.
Also, there is a cable car being built there (actually, the world's longest single cable car), which supposedly will bring you directly to the lake in a matter of minutes. Interesting, but kind of spoils the place (in my opinion).
