mullet Posted February 3, 2012 #2 Share Posted February 3, 2012 The rivers seem very shallow and some of the roads are VERY bad toward the mountains and airport so be carefull. Snorkeling would be my personal choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiserone Posted February 3, 2012 #3 Share Posted February 3, 2012 WE did the ships tour to the river and had a terrific time. The group of guys that ran the tour were great. The river was fast in places and slow in other spaces but we had a blast and everyone on our tour had a ball. We were on Royal Caribbean so not sure what Celebrity has to offer. Don't miss it.

raspberry ridge Posted February 3, 2012 #4 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Has anyone used any Island tour companies for tubing or snorkeling on Dominica? Looking for a recommendations. We also did the tubing through the ship's shore excursions. It was a great time and the guys in the river were very helpful and kept everyone safe as well as helping when people got stopped by various twists and turns. The road to get to the tubing site was VERY twisty. Many people seemed to get motion sick and at times the a/c had to be turned off as the bus labored uphill.This was one of our favorite Caribbean adventures!

olemissreb Posted February 3, 2012 #5 Share Posted February 3, 2012 We did a ships excursion when we were there also. The excursion took us to a Carib Tribe reservation and then tubing. Loved the tubing part, but the rest of it we wouldn't do again. If you want an independent excursion (which I recommend) - the one I wish I had gone with was Levi at bumpiing tours (yes there are 2 i's). There is another company that is also highly recommended, but I can't remember the name. Look at the Dominica board and I'm sure you will come across it. Enjoy Dominica - it is a beautiful island!

sddsddean Posted February 4, 2012 #6 Share Posted February 4, 2012 We did tubing with Antours http://dominicacruisesite.com/ . We were the only 2 off the ship to book it and got picked up at the dock. As we were a bit early, the guide (who's name I can't remember!) took us for a quick tour round the area (about 40 mins), then went tubing, then she took us back to the ship. There was a family of 4 who were staying at a hotel on the tubing ride too. 6 of us had 3 'guides'. You will get a much longer 'ride' than on the ships tour (we passed their start point about half way through our trip). Also remember to take water shoes or something as the exit 'beach' is quite stony. They will do other trips as well, but we just wanted the tubing and would use them again.

Bobby Dee Posted February 4, 2012 #7 Share Posted February 4, 2012 I did the Rolling Rivers tour and thought it was really great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koolforkatz Posted February 4, 2012 #8 Share Posted February 4, 2012 We river tubed with Wacky Rollers a few years ago. One of the best excursions we've ever done - a LOT of fun. As others have said, though, the road there can be a bit uggh.... if you're prone to motion sickness at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharks48 Posted February 4, 2012 #9 Share Posted February 4, 2012 We did the ropes/zipline with Wacky Rollers and another couple with us did the river tubing. We booked this independently when we cruised with HAL. We LOVED the zipline/ropes course - I'd do it again in a minute! The other couple said the river tubing wasn't that great, but if I recall correctly, the river was down quite a bit at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
