LAYOU HOT SPRINGS & MACOUCHERIE RUM FACTORY
Start the day with a dip in the hot springs in the Layou Valley.
A very short walk from the car, the springs are reached by walking a few minutes up The Layou River, Dominica's largest river.
Then, discover the secrets of Dominica's famous rum, see how it is made and sample its yummy taste !!
INDIAN RIVER
A lethargic boat ride up the Indian River is an incredible way to spend an afternoon.
The river runs from Portsmouth, in the West, deep into Morne Diablotin.
The river lies just below sea level and so the water is a mixture of fresh water and salt water.
Glide through the mangroves and wetlands in the paddle boat, with a very knowledgeable guide who can enlighten you on the incredible flora and fauna en route.
At the end of the ride there is an excellent restaurant, hidden deep away in the jungle, serving delicious local delicacies and extremely strong home made rum punch.
Beware !!
CABRITZ NATIONAL PARK & FORT SHIRLEY
After chilling out on the river boat ride, meander the footpaths of the recently rennovated and restored Cabritz National Park and Fort Shirley.
Discover the fascinating and sometime bloody history of the island, and understand how it has become the incredibly diverse nation that it is today.
