Roseau Valley Treasures

Snorkel, swim and hike all in a day-long adventure. Explore the wonders of Dominica on an island ecotour. Snorkel Champagne Reef for a one-of-a-kind underwater experience. As you spot a diverse range of marine species, you’ll marvel at the gas bubbles rising around you.

Have you seen Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest? If so, you’ll recognize Titou Gorge, your next stop for the day. Swim in both warm volcano-heated water and the cold waters of the Titou Gorge during your journey. Depending on the time of year, more athletic adventurers will want to climb the five-foot waterfall. You’ll round out your day with a visit to the iconic Trafalgar Falls and a drive through the Botanical Gardens before heading back to your ship. While this excursion is a group trip, ask your FROSCH Travel Advisor for private options available to you.

A Taste of Dominica

Did you know that the delicious tropical produce you taste in Dominica is locally grown? Dominicans don’t depend on imported fruits and vegetables thanks to the island’s rich volcanic soil and ample rainfall.

Foodies will want to have their FROSCH Travel Advisor arrange this excursion during their day in Dominica. When you arrive in port, you’ll be taken on a scenic drive into the mountains. You’ll be greeted by your gracious local host and welcomed into their home for an informative cooking class (and a tasty feast!)

Learn to make authentic creole recipes that your host’s mother taught them, fill your bellies, and admire the mountain and sea views. Bring your new recipes home to share iconic Dominican dishes with your friends!

Private Birding Tour

Calling all birdwatchers; this day trip is for you! Begin with a scenic drive through the coastal villages of the island. Your expert guide will share the history and culture of the island as you wind your way along the rugged coastline. As you make your way into the rainforest, be on the lookout for birding activity. 167 known bird species inhabit this island, including four types of native hummingbirds and the famed Sisserou and Jaco Parrots. You’ll spend the rest of your fun-filled day hiking the dirt trails of the lush Syndicate Forest area. With your guide by your side, you’ll be mesmerized by the picturesque views and multiple chances for bird sightings.

With all this fun to be had on Dominica, you might find yourself planning a return visit. We can help you with the planning of that trip, too!
