Great mix of sights of northern Dominica
We had a lovely day exploring the north part of the island. Learned about the history of the island with a nice tour of fort Shirley. Kenny our guide was friendly and knowledgeable and make the experience enjoyable. Highlight included a boat ride down the Indian River with our guide Rosco who made the trip fun!!

Adin the guide was very good. Didn’t rush the tour and what we saw along the way was great, especially Indian River and the rum bar .

Our driver was Leonard and he was fantastic. We learned about the volcano area, Fort Shirley (a complete fort not just rocks), ate local for lunch and ended with a peaceful river boat ride. He knew the land, the trees, the water, habitat. Apparently they have a beach called champagne beach with actual bubbles. If time, I would have loved to see and feel that and skip volcano area. You really see the island and learn about the people and culture.

Our guide Leonard is a walking encyclopedia about the trees & fruits of Dominica and shared them with our group as we drove to the northern part of the island. 3 separate experiences, Cold Soufriere volcano hike was great. Ft. Shirley historically informative, Indian river boat trip relaxing end to the day, seeing many birds, including the native parrot was a highlight! Leonard is a true “native” himself whose love & understanding of his island helped make it a great day!

Very good tour! Our van was comfortable and Roscoe was a fantastic host. This tour gave us good variety with a river cruise on a rowboat, a hike into a volcano, a visit to a fort and a nice drive along the Caribbean side of the island. Would recommend !!

Favorite overall excursion I did while island hopping on my cruise. Our guide Tiffany was fantastic and so funny. A great way to get out of Roseau and see the fantastic northern and western parts of Dominica. Thank you Tiffany! This excursion is a must. Highlight is definitely the Indian River boat ride.

Beautiful and relaxing
First was a short, easy hike through the forest to the cold soufre. It was much prettier than the photos I’d seen posted. Next we went to the old fort. We learned a little history, had some great views. The highlight was the boat ride up the Indian river. It was lovely.
