The Indian River, Cold Soufrière, and Fort Shirley tour is unique because it combines a serene, mystical mangrove river cruise with Dominica’s unique cold geothermal features and a significant historical site. Visitors experience a magical journey on the Indian River, see the distinct “cold” volcanic phenomena at the geothermal site, and explore the historically rich Fort Shirley in Cabrits National Park. An Air conditioned van and experienced guide to all the sites. Most times this tour is private or small groups only.
