5.00I loved this tour I went to Evrima Ritz Carlton yatch but I did this tour on my own, which was much cheaper Evrima is of dreams but some excursions can be done by us because it saves money

5.00Judy was an amazing driver who took us all over the island and explained areas, trees & history along the way. The best was the Indian River canoe ride it was simply beautiful and an added touch was Bush Bar on the side of the river with breathtaking views and excellent cocktails. Even though the weather wasn’t the best it was the best experience for us.
Awesome excursion - A Must Do!

5.00This was a great excursion. We were the only 2 on the tour. Aaron was our guide and he was very pleasant and professional and knowledgeable about Dominica. We toured the island and had a long drive to Indian River. We had another fantastic guide, Maverick, who was the captain of the raft / boat. He was very knowledgeable and very accommodating. We had lunch at a local restaurant. It was a fantastic day. We highly recommend!

5.00Everything about this excursion was exceptional. Scheduling and pick up were well organized and the pick up location was directly across the street from the cruise port. Our driver, Aaron, was knowledgeable and friendly. The boat operator, Maverick, was excellent and even made souvenirs for the kids out of palm leaves. I would definitely recommend this excursion, especially if you have children.

5.00This was a really relaxing and interesting afternoon. The river is full of fish, the shorelines were covered with crabs, herons and iguanas. The boat ride was perfect. We stopped at a little bar along the shore before heading back. The flowers were beautiful, our guide wove some palm leaves into birds and fish, there was a chance to get a cold drink and just enjoy.
Lovey east boat ride and excellent tour driver

4.00The communication surrounding planing was excellent. We had an additional person added late and not only did they accommodate that but they added a trip to the emerald pool for a very affordable price. Our driver Paris was knowledgeable and hospitable as was our boat conductor, David. David pointed out all the little creatures he saw even back rowing to make sure we got good views. The only thing I’d saw was the boat trip seemed a little short. But all in all it was lovely and easy to navigate. All ages welcome.
