Itinerary

1. Champagne Beach

   Experience the spectacle of Dominica’s rainbow-coloured seascape, during this very private boat tour. Named for the bubbling waters rising from volcanic thermal springs on the ocean floor, Champagne Reef attracts diving and snorkeling enthusiasts from around the world. The reef’s plummeting cliffs and towering volcanic formations perfectly match Dominica’s massive mountains and gorges. Whether diving or snorkeling, you’ll encounter a dazzling explosion of colours. The reef holds a paint box of sponges with names like pink azure, red rope, yellow tube, and purple vase. Matching the color and variety of the sponges and crinoids is a fascinating range of undersea creatures — octopus, rays, trumpet fish, parrotfish, frogfish, batfish, hawksbill turtles, seahorses, sea snakes, and eels. You may even encounter the remains of the 17th century Spanish shipwreck. After this snorkeling tour from about 45 minutes well go to the beach for a cold drink.

Scott’s Head is the only tied island in the whole Caribbean with on one side the Atlantic sea and on the other side the Caribbean Sea.
