About this experience
Discover the best of the city of Roseau on a one and a half hour sightseeing tour with an expert guide. Traveling by comfortable coach or minivan, take in the city's top landmarks as you absorb the rustic Caribbean island atmosphere. Snap photos of the old slave market and the Victorian and Caribbean architectural era of buildings, venture into the local food and fruit market, view the entire city from above and on top the historic Morne Bruce and the highlight of any visit to Roseau: take a stroll through the Botanical Gardens to see the Caribbean and West African flora and the national bird of Dominica, the Sisserou parrot (Amazona imperalis). Due to popular demand, we included a visit one of the most famous waterfalls in the Caribbean, The Trafalgar Falls. Finally, a visit to one of the most remarkable geothermal wonders of the island in the small village of Watten Waven. This tour is much more than a just a Roseau city sightseeing.
