Fantastic Tour! Don't miss this! - From start to finish, this tour was fantastic. They communicated well before the tour & the meeting point was right across from the port. We started at Titou Gorge. Our guide got us there before all the crowds so there were just the 3 of us swimming through the gorge. The guide does not go in the water with you, but it's easy to figure out how to navigate it. One of the highlights of all the sites we visited on our Caribbean cruise. Next we headed to Trafalgar Falls. There are quite a few stairs to climb to get to the view, but well worth it. We found a guide at Champagne Beach to take us out snorkeling. He was great & the champagne bubbles & assorted fish were a real treat. We made several interesting stops along the way. Our guide was a great driver & gave interesting commentary all along the way. Such a wonderful day!

Best day of our cruise - We had four other islands stops prior to Dominica and did an excursion on all. Part of the reason we enjoyed this one was we were taken up into the mountains where it was much cooler. The AC in our van was perfect, so much so, one of the passengers had to ask for it to be turned off. Titou Gorge falls were the high light. We went here first, which I was not excited about at first because it was early in the day in the mountains and the water was cold, however it turned out to be perfect because nobody else was there. Since there were only three of us, we had the place all to ourselves. Bring your camera. The rest of the trip was just OK but very relaxing. The snorkeling was fun but not the best I’ve seen. Also wanted to add, our drive was awesome. He was not like some of the crazy drivers we’ve had that make you scared half to death or get you sick. Unfortunately, neither of us can remember his name, but it started with the letter J.

Awesome family fun - Guides were amazing, informative and so welcoming. We went with 2 kids (10 & 6). Each part of trip just got better and better. Must say, make sure you do Ti Tou Gorge first as gets REALLY busy. Highly recommend!!!

Great tour, very nice tour guide. - After a short search for the organizer, the tour started with a small van. We were only two on the tour, which was definitely awesome! The tour guide showed and explained the backstory to us about the respective stops. All in all great experience!

A fantastic experience that you have to try - You can experience Dominica in a 4h tour with one of the best guides of the island: Judy with his Kojak friendly taxi!!!!!

Better than the cruise ship excursions! - We appreciate the last minute accommodation. We booked our trip exactly 12 hours before our scheduled departure. Our driver Judy was awesome! He sought us out and directed us. He was always with us and hiking with us on our excursions. He was very informative on the culture and history. We were able to stay as long or as short as we wanted at the various stops. I would definitely recommend this excursion to anyone. I would look forward to doing it again ourselves. We were able to see more and do more with less cost than the excursions that are scheduled through the cruise ship.

Good tour & guide, some aspects were underwhelming - We loved the Ti Tou Gorge on tubes. The botanical garden was underwhelming. Champagne reef was closed.

Great Beauty, Poor Operator! - Great sites and sights, terrible operator. We booked our tour for 10:00 AM, but I got a text from the operator at 8:48 saying we needed to meet them at 9. No meeting place, no distinctive shirt or flag - just ask around for Mr. Kojak. Once we got sorted (seems as though there were 10 groups going on the same or similar tours, all under different names), 'Big Mama' walked us to his van and began driving us around. The van was a bit 'sketchy' and the A/C was working at 25% at best. He did his best to narrate the tour, including stopping to show us some of the native fruits and flora, but his thickly accented English was hard to understand. The Pitou gorge is amazing - be sure to try to get all the way back into the final chamber to let the raging torrent soak you thoroughly - but be careful with the strong current and limited hand and footholds. Trafalgar falls are beautiful (see the picture at left), but the hike was a bit more difficult than advertised and the crowds were plentiful. From there, we stopped by the sulphur springs (don't bother), drove through the botanical gardens (ho hum), and finished at a pretty overlook of the town and the pier. Unfortunately, we never made it to Champagne Reef (no explanation was given) and the tour ended 1.5 hours before it was advertised. We're seeking refunds, as are the four others from our van!
