Beach, Chocolate & Gin

Our first exciting full day in Dominica will start by taking us on a scenic drive to Calibishie. Once at Pointe Baptiste Chocolate Factory, we will learn how chocolate is produced from bean to bar right here in Dominica using locally sourced cocoa beans. Sample the different flavors of chocolate such as ginger, hot pepper or lemongrass chocolate before we head over to Red Rocks. Red Rocks is an other-worldly experience that makes you feel as if you have just stepped onto Mars! Next, we’ll go to a small-batch local Gin Distillery to learn how it is made using natural botanicals such as cinnamon, cocoa & nutmeg from their backyard garden. We’ll end the day with a beach trip to relax in the late afternoon sun.

Boats & Beaches

After Breakfast, we’ll meet the captain for an enjoyable coastal sea day, bring your bathing suit and don’t forget your sunblock!
