Fort Shirley + Dominica Botanical Gardens Excursion

On this trip from Roseau, we'll learn about the fascinating history and nature of this island country by visiting Fort Shirley and the Dominica Botanical Gardens.

Description

Dominica, located between the French islands of Guadalupe and Martinique, is a beautiful Caribbean island country that is part of the lesser Antilles. We will begin by discovering the main two points of interest in its capital, Roseau, where we will pick you up at the cruise terminal.

The first stop will be at the Dominica Botanical Garden, established during the British Empire. Here, we will see numerous native species of tropical plants, including the Bois Kwaib, the national flower of Dominica.

In addition to observing the native plants, flowers, and trees, we will spot many native birds, particularly the Sisserou parrot, the country's national bird, which also appears on the country's flag.

After the Botanical Garden, we will proceed to the northern coast to visit Fort Shirley, an old fort built in a volcanic crater by the English during conflicts against the French.

Following our visit to Fort Shirley, we will stop at a beach in the area, where you will have 45 minutes of free time to swim and eat.

The tour will conclude back at the meeting point in Roseau, approximately 5.5 hours after the initial pickup time.
