The programme

We start our tour of Roseau by getting on a mini-train that takes us around the streets of the capital of Dominica for one and a half hours to show us the main sights including the Botanical Gardens, a viewpoint to admire the city and a local church.
The first stop is at the Botanical Gardens: we can get off and go for an optional walk to admire exotic flowers and tropical plants as well as native parrots inside large cages as we sip a pleasant welcome drink.
The second stop is at one of Dominicas 365 rivers. The train conductor will share his knowledge about the islands wildlife and what fishes that can be found in the rivers.
We get back to the train and proceed along roads teeming with people and street vendors typical of the most unspoilt Caribbean capital.
Along the way, the conductor points out the main buildings and sights so we can take photos of the typical colonial architecture as we proceed along alleyways and winding roads.
The last stop on our train tour is at a small Catholic church, 70% of the population is in fact Catholic.
