Northern Tour

Begin this tour heading North from Roseau to visit the second largest town in the country, the beautiful Portsmouth. The first stop in this town will be in the popular Indian River, which is actually the widest one in Dominica. Not only is it the widest, it’s also our contry’s most picturesque river, with the huge roots growing at its bank. Just relax while an experienced boatman rows us along.

At just 10 minutes from this idilic area, we will dive into our country’s history visiting an important landmark: Fort Shirley. This fort is known due to the revolt carried out by the African Slave Soldiers in 1802. Besides learning, you can expect to see some of the most scenic view of Portsmouth, as well as some artifacts that European soldiers used in order to fend off their enemies.

After walking up the hill, the Caribbean Sea will open its wide arms to welcome you for a swim at the Purple Turtle Beach. No doubt, some very cold Kubuli (our local beer) will make you adopt Dominica as your destination of choice!
