Rejseplan
For gæster, der afhentes i Roseau, starter din tur i Roseau med en introduktion til øens historie
En passage gennem den gamle markedsplads, hvor alle aktiviteter blev afholdt, herunder salg af slaver, straf af slaver, salg af mad og nu salg og fremvisning af kunst og håndværk.
Old Mills kulturelle center blev oprindeligt brugt til sukker- og rumproduktion, indtil sukkerindustrien i Dominica kollapsede. I 1964 blev ejendommen solgt til regeringen i Dominica. I 1976 blev en del af møllen tildelt det nationale kunstråd, som forvandlede det til et kulturelt center med støtte fra den britiske udviklingsafdeling.
Dominica Coconut Products, der blev grundlagt i 1960'erne af Phillip Nassief, har udviklet sig gennem årene og opererer under navnet DCP Colgate-Palmolive Company. Det er blevet en hjørnesten i den caribiske sæbeindustri og bidrager betydeligt til Dominicas økonomi og regional handel.
Beliggende i Salisbury lige ud for den vigtigste vestkyst motorvej, denne ejendom har en historie, der går tilbage til førkrigsårene, Dominicas store rum destilleri har set op og ned. Macoucherie Estate har været i familien Shillingford i flere generationer og er nu det eneste (officielle) destilleri på øen, der producerer rum fra lokal kanel. Ikke nogen kan, men er op til jobbet - Macoucherie bruger kun det dyrket på sin ejendom. Produktion 10.000 gallon om året, og op til fire typer af flaske rum, det er en stor operation. Men processerne er i det væsentlige de samme som den i lille skala, der producerer moonshine.
Fort Shirley er en del af Cabrits National Park i den nordlige del af Dominica og kan betragtes som Dominicas vigtigste historiske sted og var scenen for den berømte oprør i det 8. vestindiske regiment i 1802. Briterne påtog sig det meste af bygningen af fortet, men franskmændene gjorde betydelige tilføjelser under deres besættelse af Dominica fra 1778 - 1784. Sammen opsamlede de en garnison bestående af et fort, syv pistolbatterier, syv cisterner, pulvermagasiner, ordnance-oplag, bagerier, jernsmedje, kaserner og andre officerer for at huse og sørge for over 600 mænd på regelmæssig tjeneste sammen med deres støttepersonale for håndværkere og slaver.
En fantastisk robåd tur op ad den bemærkelsesværdige indiske flod og lidt af Dominicas historie

Lennerd was a great guide! He’s very knowledgeable about his country and the various plants and trees that grow here. I Thank him for going above and beyond for accommodating us during the low travel season! And yes I can identify a Mango tree LOL O’Jolly did an awesome job on our Indian River tour. We were able to point out various crabs and fish and the site from a famous movie! Mid way tour you are treated to a hidden bar with great music. A total scene!
Lenard is amazing tour guide!!! He’s super kind, professional and caring!!! You can tell he loves his job and he’s super passionate and always trying to make sure we are good. He gave us a lot information and fun facts about Dominica and we enjoyed hiking, visiting, talking and having lunch with him. Indian lake is def the highlight of the tour. It is so beautiful and stunning (we saw many rare birds and white crab and blue crab!!!) and our captain Anjali is amazing person. I highly recommend this tour to all tourists visiting Dominica!!!
Ajahlie was an excellent guide! He knew how to adapt to the fact that he had to translate into French and therefore took the time to explain things well. He speaks Creole, so it's very practical! He was very knowledgeable about the history, the local fauna, and the flora. With him, you never get bored. Careful on the road, he explained to us the origin of the names and the history of each town we passed through. The boat trip was magnificent! Very welcoming guide and good navigator.
Lennard was a great tour guide. Started at Fort Shirley. Unfortunately this foet was completely remodeled for a concert/eedding/party venue, so the history is lost, but the guide tour really helped us picture what was there. Next we went to Cold Soufriere sulfur springs which was very interesting, you could hear the gas escaping the rocks. Our last adventure of the day after a great lunch at water's edge was a row down Indian River. Beautiful scenery and animals along the way.
yet another great day out with Waitukubuli Adventure Tour Co. Where we had a private tour with Hubert previosuly, this trip was with Tiffany (Hubert's better half). Having spent a day with each it's obvious why they found each other in their private life too ;) This was another amazing trip. A good hour drive from Roseau up to Portsmouth through beautiful surrounfings, great stories and Points of Interest from Tiffany. First stop was Cold Soufriere. As here is work being done we could only see the bubbles from a short distance. So much to see though, on to Fort Shirkey which is a really impressive site and the resoration is even more inpressive. Great lunch at Water's Edge in Portsmouth and then the Indian River tour. Unfortunately Tia Dalma wasn't home but her house still stands! Tiffany is full of interesting stories about colurfull characters, places, houses etc and the day will fly by all too quickly. So thanks, 2 trips to cherish.
River trip was great, everything was prepared and guide person was very polite, big knowledgeable regarding the river and history of the island. Highly recommended. Best, Kamil
Leonard and Roscoe with Waitukulbuli Adventure Tours were fabulous guides for our Domenica excursion.
We had such a great day! Lennard was so knowledgeable about everything on the island and we learned so much! Lunch was delicious and we enjoyed our drinks at the rum bar. Highly recommend!
Adin the guide was very good. Didn’t rush the tour and what we saw along the way was great, especially Indian River and the rum bar .
Adin was excellent, very knowledgeable and didn’t rush us. Thank you for a great day.
