The experience

Seven hours with a guide takes you through Roseau's colonial past and into the island's natural interior. You'll start at street-level landmarks like the Cassava Man, known for Roseau's best street food, then move to a serene garden in the heart of the city before heading into the rainforest. The Rio Blanco trail is a relatively easy hike that crosses a series of bridges over clear water, giving way to views of hot springs and waterfalls deeper in. Transportation is included throughout the day.

The cultural piece centers on the Kalinago Territory, a village where you learn about the indigenous Kalinago people's traditional customs, beliefs and way of life. Food and beverage tastings are woven through the day: mountain chicken (frog legs), seasoned fish dishes and tropical fruits, and you'll eat at a clifftop restaurant overlooking the Caribbean Sea with views of the surrounding islands. A stop at Shorties Bar rounds out the drinks and local spirits side of the experience.

The tour is built for all fitness levels and works as a private booking, so the pace and stops stay yours alone with the guide. Public transportation options exist nearby if you need them, though the tour's transport is included. The guide conducts the tour in English.
