Picture Yourself Here!
Boiling Lake (UNESCO)
The world’s second-largest hot springs attraction, and worth the hike! Not for the faint-hearted, this hike is around six hours, and really geared to experienced hikers or families with tweens and teens. The trek to the lake is 8 miles, usually reached after 3-4 hour hard hike one way. The flooded fumarole, lake is filled with bubbling blue-gray water usually surrounded by a cloud of vapor. The lake is 200 feet/60m across and the depth remains a mystery.
Freshwater Lake Nature Trail
An elevation of 762m above sea level, this natural trail gives some of the best views across the largest lake on the island. At the top, pause to admire breathtaking views and listen to sounds of hundreds of hummingbirds keeping you company.
Snorkeling
Find volcanic vents gently releasing warm bubbles (like champagne)into the sea, dramatic vertical walls created by submerged volcanic craters, gently sloping shelves of colourful coral and sponges, and a wide variety of tropical fish and critters. What a great place to have a proposal...tie that ring up so you don't lose it, but imagine a proposal in champagne bubbles! Be still my heart! Don't forget the underwater camera!
Purple Turtle Beach
Relax along this sandy brown beach and enjoy eating Dominica’s authentic cuisine. The Purple Turtle Beach is an ideal spot for mooring, family picnics, beach parties, sun tanning, swimming and group gatherings!
Kalinago Territory
Home to the largest group of indigenous people in the Caribbean with over 3,000 inhabitants. Families can visit the Carib model village by the sea, try traditional Kalinago cuisine, make and purchase traditional art & craft. Fantastic, fun, Educational day.
Indian River Safari
The perfect afternoon out for couples and families(all ages). Scenes from “Pirates of the Caribbean” were filmed along this river. Boat rides for all ages and the best opportunity to view the river’s wildlife. Day-trip outfitters can transport you from your hotel to the river for a day of activity in the lush paradise.
Mero beach
What would a family holiday be without a day at the beach? The black-sand beach on the west coast of the island has public bathrooms and food and beverage service, and is one of the few beaches on the island to have these amenities. The waters are placid and gorgeous for easy dips in the sea. Near Roseau, it's popular and easy to get to.
Jeep Safari Tour
This 3-hour jeep tour of Dominica- gives a great snapshot of the island. Kids get pretty excited when the open-air vehicle stops to meet the national parrot at the botanical gardens. Adults will love the rum punch and fresh fruit at the end of the tour. See hidden waterfalls, elevation gains and losses, a great half-day experience in nature. Children 4 and up.

Got A Group?
Whale watching (& dolphin)
Spend at least one-afternoon whale watching. Dominica is home to at least six different species of cetaceans, including Sperm Whales, Humpback Whales, and Short-fin Pilot Whales. A perfect group trips, we offer whale watching trips every Sunday and Wednesdays with complimentary fruit juices and rum punch served on the return journey.
River tubing
A combination of small rapids and a mild current, make the River Tubing through Hibiscus Falls a unique experience. Groups can wade down the river whilst taking in the natural beauty of the island. As they approach the Hibiscus Village, they will be greeted with a traditional performance by the Carib Indian cultural group. This is something not to miss!
Emerald Pool Nature Trail
Fed by the clear mountain water rushing from a 40-foot/12m waterfall, the pool’s waters appear emerald green in the leafy, filtered sunlight. To get here is just a short 15-minute easy hike, and totally worth it for the photos!
Titou Gorge
The name of the gorge actually means “Little Throat” and gets its namesake from the lava that cooled and split open, resulting in a cave. Groups can float and flop their way to a waterfall that is highlighted with canopy light from above. This swim-only takes five minutes but is extremely peaceful and memorable. Another place where Pirates of the Caribbean was filmed!
Roseau Walking Tour
Learn about the unique Caribbean architectural styles and historic significance of many of Roseau’s important building. Take a visit to the Old Market where crafts and souvenirs, as well as fresh fruit and vegetables, can be purchased from the locals.
Botanical Gardens
Nestled about 50 metres from the Roseau river, the 40-acre Botanical Gardens is the largest semi-open space in the city of Roseau. In the garden is an aviary that houses Sisserou parrots, the national bird of Dominica. It continues to be the idyllic setting for cricket matches, national parades and cultural celebrations throughout the year.
Fort Shirley / Cabrits National Park
This will be their most historical building stop from the war era on Dominica. This is an English colonial fort located at the Cabrits Historical and Marine Park, which serves as an interpretation centre that preserves remnants of the islands tumultuous history. Being full of history, Fort Shirley has lots of stories which are longing to be shared.
Chocolate Experience
The Bois Cotlette estate is a popular destination in Dominica. For 290 years, the estate has worked to perfect the craft of producing cocoa, sugar cane and coffee. The Chocolate Experience tour offers a glimpse into all of the behind-the-scene work that goes into producing their signature chocolates. This excursion is a chocolate lover’s paradise and a perfect adventure for those on a family cruise.
