Roseau cruises, Dominica

What's great about Roseau cruises?

Known as the island of waterfalls, Dominica is as green as it is unspoilt. Fairly off the tourist trail, this exotic isle is a paradise for nature lovers. In fact, it’s one of the Caribbean hotspots for rainforest trekking. And of course, it’s got some superb beaches. Not the snow-white variety you’d expect, but dramatic volcanic sweeps and secluded coves hidden by greenery. Have your camera at the ready…

• Make your way through the rainforest of canopied ferns and soaring trees in Canefield and you’ll arrive at the Emerald Pool. A sparkling grotto at the foot of a 12-metre waterfall, it’s the perfect place for a cooling dip.
• Don’t miss the chance to river tube down Dominica’s biggest river, River Layou. You’ll climb into what looks like a giant rubber ring, before battling currents, rocks and rapids as you head downstream. It’s great fun, and gives you fantastic close-up views of the island’s jungle-like scenery.
• Trek through the Mome Trois Piton rainforest. It’s crammed with exotic plants and flowers, as well as 172 different species of bird. If you’re really lucky, you’ll catch a glimpse of the endangered parrots that call this place home.
• Make a beeline for the famous Trafalgar Falls – they crash down a 220-foot rock face into a shimmering pool.
