Kalinago Culture Shore Excursion

If you want to learn about Dominica's history and indigenous groups, our Kalinago Culture Shore Excursion is perfect for you! You'll step off your cruise ship and immerse yourself in a cultural experience.

Kalinago Culture Shore Excursion

At your chosen time, we'll meet at your selected meeting point in Roseau. Once we all arrive, we'll board the minibus and head to the northeast of Dominica, where the Kalinago Territory is located.

After a 1-hour drive, we'll arrive at the Kalinago Territory, home to around 3,000 indigenous Kalinago people. Throughout the day, we'll meet some Kalinago individuals and learn about their culture, history, and way of life.

We'll visit a bakery to learn how they bake traditional bread. Following this, we will head to a pottery workshop to understand their historic pottery techniques, where you can buy a piece if you wish. We'll also visit a basket-making workshop to see this unique art form.

We'll then see a live performance of the Kalinago people's traditional dances.

After this cultural experience, we will return to Roseau, arriving back at the starting points 7 hours after our shore excursion began.
