Dinner Included

Eco-Farm, Emerald Pool & Jaco Falls

Today we go to an eco-farm that is dedicated to the preservation and sustainability of the forest. We’ll blend fun with education as the owners teach us about planting & harvesting tropical fruits. Don’t forget to taste some! Next we go to Emerald Pool, an invigorating natural rock pool under an impressive 40 ft. waterfall. Swim under the waterfall or relax on the deck and listen to the sounds of the rainforest. Check out the tropical plants in their natural habitat surrounding the Emerald Pool to discover why this magical gem gets its name. Next, we will have lunch at the exquisite Pagua Bay House where you can take a dip in a pool that overlooks the Atlantic Ocean before we visit Jaco Falls.

Breakfast- Lunch Included

Birding, Horseback & Beach

Today we’re off to search for the endemic and critically endangered Sisserou Parrot with the birding specialist of Dominica! How exciting! This colorful parrot lives only in the canopy of Dominica and is also the national bird as it is represented on the Flag. We will also look for the Jaco Parrot and the Kalinago Wren, also endemic birds of Dominica. We’ll see other birds, such as the Blue Headed Hummingbird, the Antillean Crested Hummingbird, and the Roufus Throated Solitaire. After our bird-watching adventure, a beautiful waterfall awaits us, Milton Falls, standing over 100ft. Get out your cameras and snap some selfies with the ladies in front of this magnificent waterfall. We will have lunch at Fort Shirley, located in Cabrits National Park before learning about the history of this old garrison built in the 18th century. Many revolts took place for control over the island and fights for freedom in this very spot. The rest of the day will be spent horseback riding in the sea and relaxing at the beach while listening to the lulling tropical sounds before sunset.

*Tonight, we will stay overnight at a beach hotel located in Portsmouth.

Canyoning, Botanicals & Roseau

We will head over to Fond Cani this morning for our exciting canyoning adventure.

We will stop to change before heading down to Roseau for a wonderful view overlooking the city from the top of Morne Bruce before settling in for a laid-back dining experience.

Breakfast-Included

Middleham, TiTou & Mineral Spa

Today we visit the Morne Trois Piton National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Lush tropical vegetation and the sounds of songbirds surround you on this empowering hike to Middleham Falls. This is the tallest waterfall on the island at an impressive 270 ft. The hike will take us through dense rainforest and muddy trails so be sure to pack your dirtiest hiking shoes. After lunch you will arrive at Ti Tou Gorge and swim in the same location where Pirates of the Caribbean was filmed before visiting Trafalgar Falls. The beauty of these falls is that there are two of them, also known as the mama and papa falls. Next, we’ll visit the warm mineral springs, where you will sit back and relax in the healing geothermal spring water.

Breakfast-Lunch-Dinner Included

Cocoa Farm, Chocolate & Relax

Today we leave Wotton Waven and begin our journey to the southeast side of the island. We will arrive at a Cocoa Farm and learn how chocolate is produced from bean to bar right here in Dominica using locally sourced cocoa beans. Try the different flavors and styles of chocolate such as cocoa nibs, bars, cocoa gin and cocoa tea! After we have put our cacao pod picking and chocolate making skills to the test, we will take a scenic drive back to our hotel where you may decide to rest, swim, relax or explore before dinner.

Breakfast-Lunch-Dinner Included

Rum, Zip Line & Turtles

We will visit a local rum distillery and learn how this rum is made using sustainable practices. We will also gain an understanding of the importance of Sea Turtle Conservation and how this distillery is helping to contribute to that endeavor. Next we will stop for lunch before our Zip lining adventure to the private Flockys Waterfall located within Newfoundland Estate. Afterwards we will head back to our hotel, get ready for dinner and prepare for our exciting experience on the beach looking for turtle hatchlings with experienced turtle conservation professionals.

Although this is the season for the hatchlings emergence, there is an unfortunate possibility that we might not see any Sea Turtles since it is a time sensitive biological occurrence of laying and hatching eggs.
