The island of Dominica boasts endless adventure, but more specifically, adventure in nature. For the perfect excursion that combines relaxation with the stunning landscapes of Dominica, look no further than a day trip to the Layou River. 

A river tubing journey is a perfect escape, offering calm waters most of the way with light rapids in some sections. Float down the longest river in Dominica and spot exotic birds and frogs and take in the lush flora of this tropical paradise. Other water activities like kayaking and swimming are available. Its gentle currents and clear waters make it perfect for a day of leisurely fun. 

End the day by soaking up local culture at the nearby village of Layou, a quaint spot with a truly authentic Caribbean feel.
