City Highlights & Emerald Pool

Your tour departs the quayside heading for historical Morne Bruce, accompanied by your experienced tour guide. Morne Bruce is an ideal vantage point from which to get a panoramic view of the entire town of Roseau. You’ll visit the Botanical Gardens to see the exotic plants and beautiful flowers. Next travel through the city for about 15 minutes before your enter Canefield Estate, the home of one of the two airports on the island and then proceed to the Emerald Pool, one of the most beautiful sites on the island, located in the heart of the lush rainforest.

Turn inland onto the Imperial Road passing fern covered hillsides along the winding road up to Pond Casse’. From Pond Casse’ you’ll drive up to Morne Trois Piton National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and home to the Emerald Pool. The 10 minute walk along the tarish-covered trail through plants, flowers and ferns leading towards the pool is the best introduction to this tropical rain forest. It’s a small pool fed by a delicate cascade which plunges off the edge of a fern-covered cliff. You’ll enjoy the refreshing environment of this cool, crystal clear grotto. You may also take a refreshing dip, if you wish. Continue down to Coye's Place, a homely little restaurant and bar for refreshments and rest-room facilities. You’ll head back to Roseau, via the Layou Valley and the west coast villages and back to the ship.
