Event: Bumpiing on Dominica
Meet: asap after docking - Sept 23 - Port Day
Organized by: Yvonne (h20)
About the event: Roseau Valley Treasures (wet tour)
Titou Gorge: One of the most unique areas on the Island and it's also a spot where part of Pirates Of The Caribbean 2 was filmed. One can get to bathe in warm and cold water at Titou Gorge. To enjoy the gorge you would have to take the short swim (about 2 minutes) up a cave like area (you do not swim under water). The swim is about 100 feet and the water is about 10 feet deep at its deepest point, but it's only about waist high when you get to the middle of the cave-Like area. There is a small waterfall one can swim to, if the water is not flowing too heavy (must do). One can also climb the waterfall (5 feet) to get to another waterfall but has to be very athletic since you have to jump about 6 feet out into the water on your way down to avoid a ledge in the water. This part is not for everyone and is optional even if you can make the jump. (There is an easy 5-7 minutes walk to Titou Gorge). Trail is Rocky and slippery when wet. We provide swim belts to all our guests.
*Trafalgar Falls: (two waterfalls in the same area) 10 minutes walk one way up a few steps. The walk is not too difficult but can be a bit challenging if one has any major problems with their backs, legs, hips or if one is short in breath due to lungs or heart condition. After the ten minutes walk, you get to a platform where you and view the waterfalls and take photos. There is an optional extra two minutes walk to you the hot mineral water where you could take a soak. Visitors should take their time walking to and around the hot spring since the area is a bit rocky, slippery and steep. Climbing to the base of the waterfall should be avoided as much as possible because of the danger involved.
Botanical Gardens: (There you will see different plants trees and flowers grown on the Island) 5 minutes from Morne Bruce. (drive through)
Morne Bruce: (an area where you can see the entire city of Roseau from the top of a hill) 7 minutes drive from the ship. (Great for taking photos)
The estimated duration of the tour is about 4.5 to 5 hours and has about 1 to 1.5 hours driving and about 30 minutes walking, total. The tour cost $40.00us per person (adult). Children under 14 years but older than 5 years, pays $10.00us less ($30.00us). There's no charge for children 5 and under, all they pay is the government sight pass fee $5.00us.
You pay for the tour after it has been completed, with cash or travellers cheques (US dollars).
Champagne reef (snorkeling) can also be added to this tour. Adding it would make this tour about 1.5 hours longer and $7.00us more per person. (Optional)
*Champagne Reef: One of the most unique snorkeling areas in the eastern Caribbean. Take a short 5 minutes walk to the end of the stony beach, until you get to a cliff where you will gear up and begin a very different under water experience. You will be swimming in bubbles like you were in a giant aquarium. If you do not have snorkel gears, we now rent it at $5.00us per set (complete snorkel set with fins). If you would like to rent from us, please let us know your shoe size, since we do not carry all sizes in the fins. If we do not carry your size, it could be rented for $12.00us a set.
NB: Site passes will be provided so you do not have to purchase site passes.
* Indicate the site where site passes are needed.
There will be complementary local beers, soft-drinks and local bottled water on the tour.
