Young Kids Activties for Dominica

[FreddiFish]

Hi,

 

Travelling with young kids (Ages 5, 6, 8, 10) and will have a 1 day stop here. Was wondering if anybody has recommendations on activities here that would appeal to that age group...

 

When I look at some of the excursions they are 4 and 5 hours long and I just can't see us doing that kind of thing...

 

Looking for something fun yet accessible...

 

Thanks

Even though this tour is several hours long, it is unforgettable and would highly advise it for children and teens. We loved it. We saw lots of sperm whales, some as close as six feet from the boat. We also were treated to a dolphin show on the return trip to the ship. Several different species of dolphins leapt clear out of the water across our bow as the tour boat operator negotiated a big circle in the water. Spectacular day but take your seasick medications in advance if you're prone to that kind of thing. ;)

I agree! My kids had a great time on this excursion as well. One of the guides lifted my 6yo son on his shoulders to give him a really spectacular look at the sperm whales. This was an amazing experience for the whole family!

Hi, When is the best time to see the whales and dolphins? We are taking this cruise in May, but not sure what to do with 9 & 13 yr. old? Any help would be MARVELOUS!!! Thanks!
