We begin the day with snorkeling at Champagne Dominica’s premier snorkeling site.

Champagne was so named because of the bubbles which rise from below The area is part of a submerged volcano There are places where you can actually feel the warm water emerging from below. You’ll encounter a variety of colourful tropical fish and corals.

After Champagne we proceed to Ti Tou Gorge

Drive through the capital city Roseau Continue up the lush and verdant Roseau Valley. There will be photo stops at scenic locations until we reach the village of Laudat From Laudat we take a 15 minute walk to the Ti Tou Gorge Which is one of the most unique and “must see” marvels of the island.

The name Ti Tou Gorge is Creole and means ‘Little Throat Hole’, literally we will swim up the ‘throat’ of a mountain to a waterfall located inside the gorge. This gorge was formed many thousands of years ago and is fed by water from the Freshwater Lake. The formation of the rock walls on either side through which we swim are intricate and breathtaking This place is truly one of the wonders of Dominica.

After the gorge we walk back to the vehicle and proceed to the spectacular twin Trafalgar Falls.

Drive through the friendly and picturesque village of Trafalgar To the trail leading to two of the island’s most beautiful waterfalls Cradled under the shadows of the ubiquitous and awesome mountainous landscape. It is a 15 minute walk from where the vehicle stops, to the viewing area of the falls,

Those who are able to, under the supervision of the guide can scramble over the boulders to the base of one of the falls Where there is a great pool for another rejuvenating swim.

Be sure that your camera has film or your memory card has enough space.

The majesty of this place will have you clicking away at its surroundings. After the falls walk back to the vehicle and return to base.

Note. Recommended footwear-Sneakers. Bathing suits should be worn Shorts and T-Shirts are appropriate.
