Great day out with Hubert and Mio. Fun, Informative and safe - Great day out with Hubert and Mio
Fabulous full day! Our driver Hubert and tour guide Mio kept us entertained all day with interesting facts and funny banter. We snorkelled at Champagne Beach with bubbles coming out of the volcanic ocean seabed. Lots of fish. Visited the botanical gardens, had a quick snack (patties) and then off to Titou Gorge, where we plunged into cold water and swam up to the waterfall. Next stop, Washington waterfalls and then Tia sulphuric baths for a warm dip followed by rum punch made by Hubert’s wife…potent!!. Hubert and Mio made the day fun, interesting and above all, safe.
Definitely recommend.

We snorkeled, climbed to two waterfalls, drove through a gorgeous botanical garden, enjoyed fresh fruit, ate a delicious lunch and plunged into hot, cold and then hotter sulphuric baths.
Hubert and Mio seemed to really enjoy their jobs and made this tour a delight! We highly recommend this adventure to everyone! When you go, tell them Linda and Joe sent them!!!

You will fall in love with Dominica! - We had the most amazing day with fun-loving Hubert taking us all over Dominica! The snorkeling was incredible - we saw tons of colourful fish and even a Spotted Eagle Ray! Hubert was very helpful and attentive coming in and out of the water. We were absolutely amazed by Titou Gorge where they filmed scenes from Pirates of the Caribbean. The hot springs were so relaxing, it was the perfect way to top off a truly unforgettable day. You NEED to book this tour!!!

Packed full of treasures - This was an amazing day from start to finish and packed so much in. The Champagne reef was spectacular and we were given extra time to explore the reef and its treasures. I saw a sea cucumber and several squid and hundreds of sergeant major fish as well another 30+ different varieties of fish. We had lunch on the way up to Titou Gorge, I wasn’t sure what to expect but this part is for everyone even if you are not very adventurous, as long as you can swim. Hubert was very patient and made sure everyone got the most of the experiences. We had a short trip to Trafalgar falls before relaxing at Tias Hot Springs with rum cocktails. We had a great time and made friends with the other guests. Personal service appreciated as one of the guides Tiffany picked me up to get to the cruise terminal.
