dominica

"wacky rollers"
was our favorite excursion...

here is the description we saw..
and immediately knew we wanted to do it.
and it was 100 times better than it sounded!


"A fun-filled ‘wacky' adventure awaits you on one of our intricately painted, open-air, four wheel drive vehicles.
Our Wacky Rollers tour guides are nature lovers who will escort you on the tour, first through the capital, Roseau and then to Morne Bruce for some of Dominica's history and a picturesque view of capital. We make a brief stop at the Botanical Gardens for a close-up encounter with our National Parrot - the Sisserou.
Feel the force of Nature as we wind through the mountains to the renowned Wotten Waven Sulphur Springs to view remnants of the island's volcanic activity. Hop back on and enjoy an exciting ride further into the islands rainforest, to the Ti Tou Gorge, situated in the village of Laudat. Here you will discover a crevice in the mountain where hot and cold streams intermingle into a natural plunging rock pool for an exhilarating swim. If you are really adventurous, swim between the mountains of the gorge to discover a spectacular view of a crystal clear waterfall - a fitting climax to your rainforest adventure! Complimentary rum punch and fresh fruit will be served before you return refreshed to your ship"


(i used my crappy lens for all these pics, so the quality for most of them isnt that good)


this is what we looked like touring the island..








the only picture i got,
of some random guy swimming into the caves.
i wish i had a waterproof camera for this part.
swimming through the caves,
to the waterfall was unbelieveable..
what an experience!



free rum punch!
after swimming through the gorge and waterfalls..
