This tour was amazing! Our guide was a great driver, very informative, and fun. We never felt rushed. There were only 4 of us. Titou Gorge was the highlight. It was incredible and we were the only group there. Snorkeling lasted longer than expected and our guide was great at finding creatures. We were surprised to have a roti and soda included for lunch. It was delicious and they already sold out when we went back the next day for another. We enjoyed the hot springs and rum punch to end the tour. We ended up not changing throughout the tour and dried pretty quickly in the heat. It was a great day!

Cornell was a great guide - he knew so much about the island and was so friendly. We even had lunch provided which we didn’t know about! The tour shows some of the beautiful highlights of Dominica in a short amount of time. Pick up and drop off were just off the cruise dock which made it super easy! Tour did go longer than expected but we still got back with plenty of time before departure.

David was a good tour guide and the tour was amazing we saw and did so much in only 3-hours on this beautiful island. I highly recommend this tour, good value for money. We travelled as a family with our teenagers age 12 and 15 and they enjoyed and learned a lot.
