Toucari Bay or Champagne Beach?

[JeriNP]

We'll be in Dominica aboard Cunard QM2 on Sunday, 12/3/23, from 8a-5p. Anyone familiar with the island and things to do? I know beaches aren't the focus on this lush island but we'd like to snorkel for a few hours.

Toucari…. Sadly Champagne is now too busy and too commercial, with all the organised trips and independents heading there.  Believe, even the Conger Eels have moved on.

 

An idea…

1.
Take a large refillable bottle to Barb’s for topping up with cask strength rum.

2.

Take a private taxi island tour from a registered driver inside the port area, making a stop at Toucari for snorkelling, then food/drinks (open and share rum), tour back to ship sipping rum.

Sadly, neither one of us drink rum (I don't drink at all!) so it looks like we'll go on a hike and head over to Toucari. Thanks!
