Highlights

  • Tube down a scenic section of the longest river in Dominica.
  • Enjoy the thrill of riding the rapids as you race downstream.
  • Relish the serenity of the calm pools between the stretches of rapids.
  • Marvel at the verdant jungle-like foliage that grows right to the water’s edge.

Description

Float down the Layou River in a comfortable, inflatable tube that will allow you to maximize the experience. The river is the longest in Dominica, the so-called “Land of 365 Rivers,” and it eventually empties into the Caribbean Sea. You will tube down a portion that offers a mix of bubbly rapids, swirling eddies and calm pools, all surrounded by stunningly beautiful scenery. After a brief orientation, you will ease into the reliably stable tube and let the river current take you downstream without having to paddle or exert yourself in any way. Simply sit in the center of the circular tube and enjoy. The conditions will change through the adventure, as the river twists, narrows and widens as it meanders through the countryside. You can expect it to be an exhilarating experience that you will not soon forget.

Helpful Hints

  • Dress in weather-appropriate clothing.
  • Wear a swimsuit under your clothing.
  • Wear sneakers or water shoes.
  • Bring a towel and sunscreen.
  • Participants must be able to swim. The condition of the river will determine if the tour operates.
