Description

Ride through the idyllic countryside in an open 4x4 Jeep that allows for unobstructed views of the island, often ones that few visitors see. It won’t take long to pass through historical Roseau and ascend to the lookout at Morne Bruce for a sweeping view of Dominica’s capital. You will also make a brief stop at the nearby botanical gardens, where you may see brightly colored Imperial parrots, an endemic species that has been designated the national bird. More natural beauty awaits you deeper in the island’s lush interior at Wotten Waven Sulphur Springs. Remnant volcanic activity well below the earth’s surfaces heats the mineral-rich hot springs, which are wonderfully soothing to soak in. A bit farther into the rainforest, you will find Titou Gorge, a deep narrow crease in the land that formed when molten lava cooled centuries ago. You will be free to take an exhilarating swim to the waterfall at the end of the gorge or simply relax with a refreshing beverage in hand.
