5.00We had a fantastic time on our day trip. We had three official stops of the day, but our guide was amazing and showed us so much more along the way, making the trip feel like a full day adventure! We learned so much about the nature of the islands, the different plants and fruit and even got to try some of the wild fruit. It was a great day and we definitely recommend this tour company
A memorable experience!

5.00The best island tour I’ve ever been on thanks to our wonderful guide Lennard who was so passionate about his country & knowledgeable. He went above & beyond & we cannot recommend this company enough. The local food was a highlight & we left Dominica feeling like we had been truly immersed in the culture. Looking forward to returning & booking with waitukubuli again! Lots of love from Ginny & Sue x

2.00The services announced for the Indian village are not there. They are only available during the cruise season. No Native dances, no meeting with the Indians, no demonstrations of their way of life, no buffet of local food. (Programme get your guide) Add to the service of 270 Euros the payment of the guide 20 dollars which was supposed to be included in the departure rate for a botanical visit and not the village which is non-existent. Just a carbet with an imitation PVC foliage roof! For the positive, the Creole plate and the guides for the exit were up to scratch.
Wonderful experience
