Tranquil rivers and bays are perfect for kayaking

Dominica’s pristine fresh waterways and the tranquil Caribbean Sea make kayaking an ideal way to explore Dominica.

The placid Soufrière Bay is a great route for beginners. The rich diversity of marine life and the serenity of the coves at the Soufrière/Scott’s Head Marine Reserve will amaze and delight you. Experience the thrill of kayaking at high altitude on Freshwater Lake in the Morne Trois Pitons World Heritage Site. Dominica’s longest river, the Layou, will take you past cooing birds, through light rapids, matted buttress roots, and diverse habitat.
