Hello Dominica & Welcome Dinner

Day 2

Canyoning, Mineral Spa & Jacks Walk

Enjoy breakfast before heading to our exciting canyoning adventure. Discover your inner explorer far beneath the sunlit canopy of the rainforest. Don’t Worry, canyoning is for any level of experience, even if you have never done it before, you’ll be in good hands with licensed professional canyoning guides. After half a day of canyoning, we will sit back and relax with a local lunch and a bush rum tasting. We will finish our day in a relaxing mineral pool in the village of Wotton Waven, where you will get to enjoy some of the geothermal gifts Dominica has to offer us. It’s a spa day in nature! Next stop is at the botanical gardens for a quick hike up Jacks Walk for a rewarding view overlooking the capital city, Roseau.

Breakfast Included

Day 3

Jaco Steps, Spannys & Kalinago

The Kalinago, once referred to as the Caribs, have a deep-rooted history in Dominica. We will learn a bit about their culture, heritage and traditional way of life. We will also watch traditional methods of basket weaving with Larouma Reeds, baking cassava bread and canoe building. Next, we’ll step back in time as you walk through Jaco Flats, an encampment of historic importance. This encampment was built by Jaco in order to help lead other escaped slaves to freedom during the mid-eighteenth century. Once you reach the bottom of the steps, jump into the river and admire the beautiful nature around you before visiting Spanny Falls, an easy-to-access waterfall surrounded by lush vegetation in the heart of the rainforest.

Breakfast  Included

Day 4

Trafalgar, Titou Gorge & Champagne Reef

After breakfast, we will head over to Roseau Valley to visit Trafalgar Falls, also known as mama & papa falls. The tallest waterfall on the left is “papa” at 125 ft. and the one on the right is “mama” at 75 ft. Take your shoes off and relax in the river before we head to TiTou Gorge. Once at Ti Tou Gorge, you will swim in the same location where Pirates of the Caribbean was filmed. Next, we’ll sit down for a tasty local lunch and relax before our snorkel adventure at Champagne Reef.  This is a special reef that makes you feel as if you’re swimming in a glass of bubbly champagne. The bubbles are created by the volcanic vents lying just below the sea floor. Grab your snorkel and go check out all the colorful fish that live here! 

Breakfast-Lunch-Dinner Included

Day 5

Exotic Fruit, River tubing & Emerald Pool

Eat breakfast in the rainforest before visiting an exotic fruit garden. Discover the secrets of tropical fruit farming before indulging in a taste of the tropics with garden to plate exotic fruit.  Next, we will glide down the Pagua River on our inner tubes while listening to the tropical sounds of the rainforest. Don’t forget your water camera- it will be a great photo op! After our tubing experience, we will go on a short rainforest hike that ends with a delicious riverside lunch. After lunch, we’ll stop at Jaco Falls before ending our day at the Emerald Pool.

Horseback on the Beach & Toucari Bay

Enjoy a leisurely breakfast before going horseback riding! The horses will lead us to Purple Turtle Beach before riding into Prince Rupert Bay.

CHANGES AND CANCELLATIONS

Changes by Participants

Since changes are considered canceled services, additional cancellation penalties may apply. Changes are subject to additional hotel charges based on availability and may incur additional fees. Changes to airfare are subject to the carrier’s Terms and Conditions and are not the obligation of FFCT. 

If you are unable to complete the tour due to an inability to maintain the speed necessary to keep up with the tour group of participants, or due to any physical limitation, there shall be no refunds owed if you are unable or prevented from completing the tour. 

Cancellation

As described above, FFCT is required to pay certain suppliers well in advance of your tour date.  This includes but is not limited to hotel accommodations, meals, entrance fees, transportation, etc. All suppliers have their own cancellation policies, which apply to your booking.  Should a cancellation become necessary, please inform FFCT immediately in writing and request a written confirmation of your cancellation. Upon receipt, FFCT will follow industry procedures for any applicable refunds as outlined in the supplier’s terms and conditions and subject to their review.  If you are entitled to a refund, please note that the supplier is responsible for this refund, not FFCT.  Likewise, we are not responsible for a supplier’s failure to pay a refund, their insolvency or bankruptcy. 

In addition to the terms of our suppliers, refunds for any monies paid to FFCT will be refundable for cancellations per the cancellation table below, less any non-refundable payments/deposits made by FFCT to our Suppliers.  Also deducted from the net refundable amount will be any adjustments for room rate changes created by the cancellation (i.e., double to single, etc.) NO REFUNDS, for any reason will be paid for cancellations received 45 days or less from the departure date.

Since FFCT will pay certain deposits and costs to suppliers prior to the date of travel, FFCT will assess the following cancellation charges as follows:

If the reason for cancellation is covered under the terms of your travel protection plan you may be able to reclaim these charges, for this reason FFCT requires the purchase of a travel protection plan including additional “cancel for any reason” coverage.

Airline tickets are governed by the air carriers’ terms, and we are not responsible for any air carrier’s decision regarding refund.

Cancellation or Changes by FFCT

We reserve the right to cancel or reschedule any departure for any reason. If we cancel, except in the case of a force majeure event, we will offer alternate arrangements.  We may at our sole discretion offer travel vouchers or refunds in accordance with the cancellation schedule above.  Participants are responsible for any additional costs for air tickets or other travel arrangements not made by us.

If between planning time and/or during actual travel, circumstances require changes, FFCT and its suppliers, reserve the right to cancel or vary any itinerary and substitute components of any tour, including but not limited to hotels and accommodations of comparable quality, if air schedule or surface transportation charges, security matters, and/or other events make such alterations necessary. Suppliers may substitute transportation equipment depending on any variety of factors, including the volume of passengers on the tour. FFCT cannot be held responsible for any closures, necessary itinerary changes, or curtails for any reason. These changes will not be considered material changes and will not be considered cause for cancellation by the participant. Normal cancellation penalties still apply to the tour that has been changed.

NO REFUND FOR UNUSED ARRANGEMENTS.  As FFCT prices are based on contract rates, there will not be any refund for any unused portion of a travel booking. If you cancel while the tour is in progress, there is no refund for the unused portion.
