We'd be delighted to assist you in planning an independent itinerary or if you rather, we would be happy to plan other guided adventures and tours.
You may also choose to hike sections of the Waitukubuli National Trail for which you'd need a specialist guide. The Waitukubuli Trail in Dominica is a community led initiative enabling tourists to hike the length of the country in about two weeks. Divided into 14 sections, you can do one a day, and of course you don't have to hike the entire trail. Take a guide with you and embrace this wonderfully wild way.
Or of course, you may enjoy simply relaxing, pampering yourselves with spa/wellness treatments, booking a private sunset cruise or indulging fully in your Nature Island experience to your hearts' delight...
Whatever you choose, we'd be happy to assist in curating the most awesome experience.
