Sample Activities

Carnival

The Carnival was inaugurated in 1999 to help local people on the island following the devastation of Hurricane Mitch in 1998 ("The Mitch" as it is known in Utila) and has been held every year since then.While initially held to fund local projects on the Island to improve facilities, repair roads, etc, Utila Carnival has become a week long party which attracts visitors from Honduras and throughout Central America, as well as many ex-patriot Utilians who return home for that week.

Indian River Gondola

A lethargic boat ride up the Indian River is an incredible way to spend an afternoon in Dominica. The mangrove river runs from Portsmouth, in the West, deep into Morne Diablotin. The river lies just below sea level and so the water is a mixture of Freshwater and salt water acting as the nursery for a variety of fresh and salt water fish.

Glide through the mangroves and wetlands in the paddle boat, with a very knowledgeable guide who can enlighten you on the incredible flora and fauna in this spectacular area of Dominica.

Leatherback Sea Turtle Observation

Amidst the whistles of beetles in the clear moonlight or the blinding darkness of after hours, the endangered sea turtle, one of the world's longest-living marine creatures, crawls onto the Rosalie Beach to perform a fascinating nesting ritual. This is typical in Dominica between March and August each year, and for those with some luck who brave the nocturnal challenge it is a lifetime experience!
