I Kayaked Dominica's Waitukubuli Sea Trail—Here's What It Was Like

"A peninsula destination that provided a quick, sheltered respite from wind and waves after an open-water crossing, serving as a staging point before the next, more ambitious crossing." - Elspeth Velten Elspeth Velten Elspeth is the Senior Vice President & Group General Manager of Dotdash Meredith's Travel Group.

The restored Fort Shirley is very nice and a good history lesson. The short hike to the Commanders Quarters was worth it, seeing the forest absorbing the ruins. Take a guess what the golf ball sized spheres are in the lower barrel ceiling storage area. Pretty cool.

Fantastic national park on a peninsula consisting of two peaks. Great for hiking, several points of historical interest (Fort Shirley and the east and west batteries, as well as the ruins of the commandant’s residence and other buildings). Lovely nature. Beautiful views. And a cafe at the parking area. Highly recommended as a highlight of Dominica, where nature and views are plentiful but well-preserved historical sites are often not.

Very interesting fort and nature area, with well tended paths for hiking. Be sure to check out the Douglas battery, not just the main restored area of the fort. It's in disrepair, with vines and trees covering the masonry structures. Not often you see a 250 year old cannon lying on the ground, with the British crown seal on it! Really amazing, eerie sights. Highly recommended!

We had a wonderful private tour of the fort, learned a lot. Fort has been restored and is well worth the visit

Do walk the trails! The fort is absolutely worth the visit, and the trails are simply "very natural". The view from the trails are absolutely breathtaking. After you do the trails and visit the fort, do enjoy the beaches close by!

Beautiful and historic location to bring the family on a DA vacation or for locals to reminisce on Dominica’s past. Well maintained, very walkable, and a tremendous view.

Really loved this park! The fort was a neat piece of history to explore and the hikes around the park were a lot of fun with some great views! We bought our park pass here and I suggest getting one if you are doing a lot of exploring around the island.
