SOUFRIERE OUTDOOR CENTRE WAITUKUBULI SEA TRAIL TOURS

DECEMBER 7-14, 2024 | JANUARY 18-25, 2025 | FEBRUARY 22 - MARCH 1, 2025

Soufriere Outdoor Centre (SOC) proudly partners with TRAK Kayaks, Uncommon Adventures, and Casco Bay Kayaks for the Waitukubuli Sea Trail (WST) Tours. As the founders of the WST, we will start marketing our own tours in early 2025. Rest assured that one of our Dominican guides will accompany every tour outfitted by SOC. SOC has top-notch gear and an array of paddles to choose from. We have plastic paddles, carbon fiber, and Greenland paddles. We have all the requisite safety gear so all you need to do is bring your travel clothes, toiletries, and dry bags. We also rent snorkeling gear for the duration of the tour at an additional cost. For more information on our sea-touring kayaks, please go to our rental page.

WST TOUR ITINERARY WITH SOC
Having explored the coast ourselves many times, we have put together the best trip possible for you. The trips run from Saturday to Saturday due to the airline schedule, but you are welcome to arrive earlier and stay longer. Dominica is the hidden gem for a reason, and it makes sense to spend a little more time exploring the wonders of this unique island. Accommodations are booked with availability. For travel tips to/from Dominica, please see our 'things to consider' section.
