Easy Dominica & Rainforest Drive

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, you'll stop at the Botanical Gardens 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, continue towards the interior of Dominica. The drive will help 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.

A stop will be made at Hibiscus Falls and just 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 5 minute walk down to the pool for a quick dip in the refreshing waterfall. After your photos, enjoy a drive down the scenic Layou Valley with its dramatic landscape on your way back to the ship.
