A memorable experience! - The best island tour I’ve ever been on thanks to our wonderful guide Lennard who was so passionate about his country & knowledgeable. He went above & beyond & we cannot recommend this company enough. The local food was a highlight & we left Dominica feeling like we had been truly immersed in the culture. Looking forward to returning & booking with waitukubuli again! Lots of love from Ginny & Sue x

Kalinago generation - Walk down to the The Kalinago Barana Aute The Kalinago Barana Aute Carib Model Village from our accommodation.
Tickets wasn’t very expensive. had opportunity go around the model village to experience of the heritage of the last remaining Kalinago People of the Caribbean.
One of the officers took us around ,explained all about history ,he is also belongs to one of the remaining Kalinago families but younger generation not able to communicate with their own language.

Disappointment - The services announced for the Indian village are not there. They are only available during the cruise season.
No Native dances, no meeting with the Indians, no demonstrations of their way of life, no buffet of local food. (Programme get your guide)
Add to the service of 270 Euros the payment of the guide 20 dollars which was supposed to be included in the departure rate for a botanical visit and not the village which is non-existent. Just a carbet with an imitation PVC foliage roof!
For the positive, the Creole plate and the guides for the exit were up to scratch.
