This was a great excursion. We were the only 2 on the tour. Aaron was our guide and he was very pleasant and professional and knowledgeable about Dominica. We toured the island and had a long drive to Indian River. We had another fantastic guide, Maverick, who was the captain of the raft / boat. He was very knowledgeable and very accommodating. We had lunch at a local restaurant. It was a fantastic day. We highly recommend!

Everything about this excursion was exceptional. Scheduling and pick up were well organized and the pick up location was directly across the street from the cruise port. Our driver, Aaron, was knowledgeable and friendly. The boat operator, Maverick, was excellent and even made souvenirs for the kids out of palm leaves. I would definitely recommend this excursion, especially if you have children.

This was a really relaxing and interesting afternoon. The river is full of fish, the shorelines were covered with crabs, herons and iguanas. The boat ride was perfect. We stopped at a little bar along the shore before heading back. The flowers were beautiful, our guide wove some palm leaves into birds and fish, there was a chance to get a cold drink and just enjoy.

The communication surrounding planing was excellent. We had an additional person added late and not only did they accommodate that but they added a trip to the emerald pool for a very affordable price. Our driver Paris was knowledgeable and hospitable as was our boat conductor, David. David pointed out all the little creatures he saw even back rowing to make sure we got good views. The only thing I’d saw was the boat trip seemed a little short. But all in all it was lovely and easy to navigate. All ages welcome.

The drive from the city to the driver was about one hour. However during the drive, our tour guide provided a brief historical overview of the country, pointing out things of interest throughout the trip. Our guide was great, he didn’t overboard us with too much information. In fact he kept us entertained. The river boat ride was really nice and enjoyable. It is a great event for nature lovers. Be sure to buy a fresh coconut water from the vendor at the ‘Witch Hut’. This tour was one of two best tours we took over a 14 day period in 4 countries.

A relaxed tour with an excellent guide. We learned a lot of things about the plants and animals that lived in and near the river. The beach stop was also nice, we went to Mero beach.

Our Indian River experience was fantastic! Our guide Kurtney and our boat guide Sam were both friendly and knowledgeable. The river ride was amazing in itself but the guides made the experience unforgettable. I highly recommend this excursion into nature!
