We’ve introduced some fresh activities for your visit to Dominica.
This itinerary, ideal for cruise ship passengers eager to make the most of their brief time in Dominica, offers a variety of coastal delights.
Begin your day with a refreshing dip in the Champagne Reef, then take a trip to the renowned Ti-Tou Gorge, where Captain Jack Sparrow and Will Turner famously made their aquatic escape in Pirates of the Caribbean. After the gorge, we journey to Trafalgar Falls to marvel at the celebrated twin waterfalls of the Caribbean. Next, relax in a natural Sulphur Spa at the Tia Hot Springs in Watten Waven. Following Tia, we visit the Botanical Gardens and Morne Bruce, before heading back to your ship or hotel in Roseau.

Great day - Omg what a day. Let me start that if you are on a cruise it’s so fun and easy. 5 steps off the ship. Team waiting for you and ready to keep you busy all day. 1st snorkeling. The beach was rocky but u swim out to warm water in the ocean where you see lots and lots plus bubbles from volcano.
2nd u get back on a small bus again and go to waterfalls . U get to jump ,swim and have so much fun. Next back on the bus and to see 2 more waterfalls after that you get to sit in 4 different temps hot springs ( wear black or older bathing suits) they may get a little stain from hot springs.
You get lunch as well.

The best way to get a taste of Dominica in one day - I had an incredible experience with Waitukubuli tours! Even though I booked my experience less than 24 hours in advance, the communication was great and everything ran on time.
Adin was my tour guide for the shoreside fun day experience and he made the experience more enjoyable with the amount of knowledge he proudly shared about the island and its history. Not only did I learn about every plant, flower and fruit we passed along with the important cultural monuments and dates but also got to experience local music and grow my playlist!
Adin truly went above and beyond and was super informative, very friendly and comfortable to be around that we even ended up singing out loud together in the car. He generously shared his culture and country with me and I can’t recommend him and Waitukubuli tours enough.

Bring on the Island fun!!! - Most fun! This was our favorite tour and our favorite island. On the cruise, we hit six ports, and this was by far the best. The tour guides really helped to make the tour. It was interactive. Everyone got to know each other on the bus. Activities were well planned and high quality.
Lunch was excellent. Rum punch was yummy! This package under promised an over delivered. Exceeded our expectations completely.

Fantastic water adventure - This was one of the best water tours we’ve ever taken. Not only the spots visited, but most importantly the 2 tour guides. They were knowledgeable and very helpful. In fact without their physical help my wife would not have been able to enjoy a couple of the stops. My only suggestion is that they purchase fins for people like me with a size 14 foot, and another man with size 15. One of the guides loaned me his fins which were larger. Thanks!

If you have only one day.... strongly recommend - If you only have one day in Dominica definitely the best tour... allows you to see the main attractions that are difficult to find and experience on your own.... Champagne reef ... a natural wonder..... Titou Gorge... refreshing... Hot Springs...phenomenal....The most vital part of the tour was our guide Cornell..made me appreciate the journey more than the destination....truly gifted

Great tour with amazing views of Dominica - Great excursion!!! We were able to visit different spots on the island! We did snorkeling at Champagne Beach, visited Dominica Botanic Gardens, enjoyed great views in Titou Gorge, stopped for a 10 minute walk to see the Trafalgar Falls and went to Tia’s Hot Spa. The excursion was very organized, with everything we could need for the different activities, and local drinks and food were provided. Our guides, Miando, Cornell, Adin and Andel were super nice and explained us a lot about the island, while making sure everyone was well during the activities. We were in Dominica in a cruise and they made sure we arrived at the port perfectly on time. Our favorite excursion in our Caribbean cruise!

Yes Baby - The snorkeling was a HUGE disappointment. The shoreline with no sand only huge rocks to cross barefooted was a huge challenge! Then the swim of at least approximately 600 feet was nothing we could endure. As it was a challenge just to get into the water, walking backward with flipper (fins) on over slippery rocks! We never got to even go to the reef. That was the to whole reason for us going to Dominica, it was sad not to get snorkel the Champagne reef. I would suggest a boat to the Champagne reef The gorge was good. The waterfalls & Hot springs were great. The guides were friendly & good explaining the island. Denzel and the crew lead us singing our way down the mountain was a special touch.

Day tour of Dominica - We arrived by cruiseship and easily found our guides waiting for us across the street from the pier. After a quick check-in we boarded a small bus for our group tour. Our tour included a snorkeling stop, botanical gardens, Titou gorge, Trafalgar falls and the spa at hot springs. We had 3 guides with us all the time. It was pretty well organized. They not only provided information on all the places but kept us entertained as well.
I liked all the places but the Botanical Gardens ( in my opinion, a bit of time wasted there).
The tour itself was very interesting and informative. It gives you a good sense about Dominica
