Easy Dominica & Rainforest Drive

Don’t miss this unusual opportunity to experience a waterfall without the need of heavy walking. A mere 30 yards flat walk will take you to a viewpoint where you can see the picturesque Hibiscus falls tucked away in rainforest greenery. A short walk (less than 5 minutes) will take you to the pool of the waterfall where you can take a quick dip in the refreshing pool. We will start with a cultural drive through the Capital of Roseau to the Morne Bruce viewpoint. This point is excellent for photos showing where the capital meets the Caribbean Sea. Next stop will be the Botanical Gardens where you will be able to see the famous and endangered Sissereau and Jaco parrots in protective cages along with many large trees, exotic flowers and tropical plants. From here we continue towards the interior of Dominica. The drive will make you understand why Dominica is rightfully called the Nature Island of the Caribbean. You will pass a tropical rainforest and many plantations with various fruit trees such as mango, banana, avocado and cacao to name a few. We will make a stop at the Hibiscus Falls. 30 yards of easy walking will take you to the viewpoint of this waterfall. Here you can take photos and enjoy the surroundings while enjoying a taste of a local Dominican mix of seasonal fruits along with a complimentary rum punch or fruit juice. You can take a short walk town to the pool for a quick dip in the refreshing waterfall. After your photos we will drive down the scenic Layou Valley with its dramatic landscape on our way back to the ship. Note: Wear your swimsuit and bring a towel.
