Dominica – March 2022

Dense, lush rainforest, Sisserou parrots, Trafalgar waterfalls, the Indian river tour, film sets, the 18th century Fort Shirley, tropical fruits and flowers, Rastafarian veggie street food in Roseau, wild swimming in the immense Chaudiere pools, visiting the Pointe Baptiste chocolate factory, the Waitukubuli jungle trail, stunning sunsets, beach BBQs and dogs, lots and lots of beach dogs. We ❤️ Dominica.

Indian River

Indian River, with the legendary, and super knowledgeable guide Titus Moses. We spotted kingfishers, frigate birds, pelicans, herons, hummingbirds, some enormous iguanas, and the film set from scene in Pirates of the Caribbean. Titus shared with us this plate of amazing fruit picked along the way.

Waitukubuli National Trail

The 115 mile Waitukubuli National Trail spans the length and breadth of Dominica, taking in rainforests, National Parks, farmland and through island communities. We embarked on one segment of the trail, taking in 17km around the Portsmouth area. The route had not been maintained for a couple of years, due to COVID, making for a trickier hike than we had anticipated. Mercifully, we found ourselves back at the Coco Hole, close to the Indian River, where we were able to rehydrate on Dynamite!
