Itinerary

Champagne Beach

one hour Admission included

Experience the spectacle of Dominica’s rainbow-coloured seascape, during this very private boat tour.

Named for the bubbling waters rising from volcanic thermal springs on the ocean floor, Champagne Reef attracts diving and snorkeling enthusiasts from around the world. The reef’s plummeting cliffs and towering volcanic formations perfectly match Dominica’s massive mountains and gorges.

Whether diving or snorkeling, you’ll encounter a dazzling explosion of colours. The reef holds a paint box of sponges with names like pink azure, red rope, yellow tube, and purple vase. Matching the color and variety of the sponges and crinoids is a fascinating range of undersea creatures — octopus, rays, trumpet fish, parrotfish, frogfish, batfish, hawksbill turtles, seahorses, sea snakes, and eels. You may even encounter the remains of the 17th century Spanish shipwreck. After this snorkeling tour from about 45 minutes well go to the beach for a cold drink.
Bubble Beach Spa

30 min Admission included

Between our two snorkeling sites we will take a rest in the hot sea springs at Bubble Beach near the village of Soufriere.
Scotts Head

45 min

Our second snorkelling site is called Scott’s Head and overlooks Soufriere Bay. It is located near a tiny village on the southwest coast of Dominica. Scott’s Head is one of the most popular diving and snorkelling sites with solder fish, grunts and sea turtles. You will see ocean views that stretch all the way to Martinique. Scott’s Head is the only tied island in the whole Caribbean with on one side the Atlantic sea and on the other side the Caribbean Sea.
