    Our guide, Leonnard Green, was outstanding, well organized and gave us the perfect day in Dominica. He was wonderful at finding things that would interest our younger family members. We enjoyed all three activities - the fort, the volcano cauldron and the rowboat up the river. We all enjoyed the lunch Leonnard had arranged in advance so it was all ready when we arrived. We all now feel we have a new friend in Dominica.

    Had the best day with leannard. Explored the north part of the island, he was so informative and fun. The trip up the Indian River and to the bush bar was great as well. Our guide went above and beyond, showing us some things around where we were staying as well. Highly recommend.

    Our guide Tiffany knows the island really well and does an outstanding job of sharing the culture, history, and natural beauty. She tailored the tour to our interests, had great answers to every question we had, and she shared enough personal stories to help us understand what modern life is like on the island. She's exceptionally good and we really enjoyed our day with her. The river tour was the highlight of the day. Our small group (4 people) boarded a skiff for a relaxing and quiet trip about a mile up the river. Unfortunately I didn't get the name of our "skiff-master", but he was very familiar with the river wildlife and pointed out many interesting critters.

    The tour first took us to Cold Soufrière, then to Fort Shirley and finally to the Indian River. Our guides were super nice, friendly and very competent. We were very lucky to be just the two of us, normally up to 6 people can take part. We benefited from very individual and intensive support. Everything was very well planned and prepared. We can particularly recommend the trip on the Indian River to anyone who would like to follow in the footsteps of Jack Sparrow. With a bit of luck you can see not only crabs but even iguanas on the shore.

    The trip was great from beginning to end. Leonard picked us up and the good time began. We had a scenic drive to cold Soufriere. At cold Soufriere we saw hummingbirds, parrots, picked wild raspberries that were yummy and enjoyed the cold springs. The short hike was wonderful and full of natural pleasure. We then went to the Fort which is a well preserved historical site. From there we went for a ride up the Indian River. We stopped for lunch at a local restaurant. We enjoyed homemade rum punch on our return ride home. All in all it was a five star day with us looking at returning soon. Many thanks to Leonard and the Waitukubuli Adventure Tour Company.

    Fort Shirley

    Fort Shirley

    Fort Shirley is part of the Cabrits National Park in the north of Dominica and can be considered Dominica’s most important historic site and was the scene of the famous revolt of the 8th West India Regiment in 1802. The British undertook most of the construction of the Fort but the French made significant additions during their occupation of Dominica from 1778 – 1784. Together they amassed a garrison comprising one fort, seven gun batteries, seven cisterns, powder magazines, ordnance storehouses, bakeries, iron forge, barracks and other officers’ quarters to house and provide for over 600 men on regular duty along with their support staff of artisans and slaves.
