Dinner Included

Segment 5, Emerald Pool & Honeybees

Grab your snacks and let’s set out on a journey through the rainforest on the Waitukubuli Trail. Segment 5 is a relatively flat and easy hike that will take approximately 3 hours to arrive at the Emerald pool (We will only be hiking half of it since it is a 6–7-hour hike if fully completed). Cool off under the impressive 40 ft. waterfall or relax on the deck and listen to the sounds of the rainforest. Next, we are going to the village of Salisbury for a unique visit to a Bee Apiary. We will learn all about Bee’s, how they are cared for, how to handle them properly, how to increase their hive populations and how they help us in the production of food and resources. We will learn how they help to create and produce things such as lip balm, candles, deodorant and of course… Honey!

Breakfast- Lunch Included

Eco-Farm, River Tubing & Kalinago

Today we are visiting 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, you’ll find yourself gliding down the Pagua River on an inner tube listening to the tropical sounds of the rainforest. Don’t forget your water camera! We will have lunch in the Kalinago Territory and learn a bit about their culture, heritage and traditional way of life. We will also learn traditional methods of basket weaving with Larouma Reeds, baking cassava bread and canoe building.

Breakfast- Lunch- Dinner Included

Canyoning, Rum & Mineral Pools

Our day begins with an exciting canyoning adventure. Discover your inner explorer far beneath the sunlit canopy of the rainforest. Don’t Worry, canyoning is for any level of experience, even if you have never done it before, you’ll be in good hands with licensed professional canyoning guides. After half a day of canyoning, we will sit back, relax and chat over a local lunch with a bush rum tasting. We will finish our day in a relaxing warm mineral pool in the village of Wotton Waven, where you will get to enjoy some of the geothermal gifts Dominica has to offer. It’s a spa day in nature!

Segment 10, Permaculture & Milton Falls

The Waitukubuli Trail is made up of 14 segments and today we are hiking segment 10. This segment begins in Colihaut Heights and ends at Syndicate. This makes for a perfect day of hiking on the heavily forested trail where we can spot the Sisserou and Jaco Parrots. Both of the parrots are endemic to Dominica, while the Sisserou (Amazona Imperialis) is on the endangered species list. Later we will go to a farm that specializes in permaculture. We will learn how it helps in sustainable land management and natural ecosystems that guide farming practices. A perfect ending to this very special day will be an easy walk to view Milton Falls in Syndicate.

Breakfast-Dinner Included

Jaco Steps & Spanny Falls

Step back in time as you walk through Jaco Flats, an encampment of historic importance. This encampment was built by Jaco in order to help lead other escaped slaves to freedom. The Maroons used this area to hide from British soldiers during the mid-18th century. Once you reach the bottom of the steps, jump into the river and admire the beautiful nature around you. Next, we will have lunch before visiting Spanny Falls, an easy-to-access waterfall surrounded by lush vegetation in the heart of the rainforest.

Breakfast-Dinner Included

Kayak, Snorkel & Beach Cookout

A southwest scenic drive takes us to the southern tip of Dominica. Scotts Head, where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Caribbean Sea, sits over the Soufriere Marine Reserve. This lookout point will give you a 360-degree view of the southern mountains, Scotts Head village, the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea. Next, we will get ready for our kayaking adventure which will take us to a quiet little beach for a fish cookout and a bit of snorkeling where we can see all the colorful fish.

Breakfast-Lunch-Dinner Included

Middleham, TiTou Gorge & Trafalgar

Today we will go to the Morne Trois Piton National Park which also happens to be a UNESCO World Heritage site. Lush tropical vegetation surrounds you on this invigorating 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. Once at Ti Tou Gorge, you will swim in the same location where Pirates of the Caribbean was filmed. Next, we’ll visit Trafalgar Falls, also known as mama & papa falls. The tallest waterfall on the left is “papa” at 125 ft. and the one on the right is “mama” at 75 ft. Take your shoes off and relax in the river before we head back to Picard for dinner.

Breakfast-Dinner Included

Horseback Riding, Portsmouth & Beach

Enjoy a leisurely breakfast before going horseback riding! The horses will lead us to Purple Turtle beach before riding into Prince Rupert Bay. The rest of the day will be free to explore Portsmouth, browse for souvenirs, try tasty dishes at nearby restaurants or relax & swim at the beach. Spend your time however you want and enjoy your last day, your way. Later, we will go back to the hotel to get ready for our farewell dinner.
