Island Traditions & Herbal Remedies

Insight into Dominica’s Food Culture & Healing Traditions Gain a deeper understanding of Dominican culture during a visit to an herb garden and a tasting of local cuisine. Begin with a scenic drive by motor coach and journey through mountainous landscapes. Upon arrival at the herb garden, meet its owner and learn about Dominica’s fertile soil, rich botanical traditions and the age-old remedies that are still in use today. Learn about indigenous plants and gain insight into deeply ingrained healing practices, then continue to a stunningly restored estate property, built during the early 20th century and named after Queen Charlotte, the wife of England’s King George III. Here, your host will welcome you with a local drink and then lead you on an immersive guided tour of the grounds. After, you will enjoy a selection of tasty Dominican bites, including freshly harvested fruit, before bidding farewell to your host and returning to your ship. * Easy - Walking portions are generally over easy surfaces with few steps or inclines.
