Sam Williams outlines a week-long itinerary for Dominica, suggesting starting on the west side near Roseau and exploring north. Key activities include a boat trip up the Indian River to the Bush Bar and whale watching with Waitukubuli Tours, noting the island's year-round sperm whale population.
“So we're gonna start on a Saturday. You're gonna get there sometime in the early afternoon and the thing about Dominica is the airport is on the far side of the island away from Roseau, which is the capital.”
“So the first thing I'd recommend doing is stopping at Indian River, which is just outside Portsmouth, about an hour from Roseau.”
“Dominica is very well known for whale watching. Interesting fact, it's one of the deeper islands, or the waters deep off Dominica. And so there's a year-round population of sperm whales.”
