🌊🛶 40 km. 3 Days. One Unforgettable Birthday Adventure. 🛶🌊 In July 2025, I celebrated my 40th birthday in the most meaningful way I could imagine—by paddling the Waitukubuli Sea Trail along Dominica’s rugged coastline with the Soufrière Outdoor Centre, led by the incredible Wes. Over three days, we covered nearly 40 km by kayak, carrying all our essentials as we journeyed from cove to cove. Each night, we were welcomed into rustic, locally owned guest houses—beautifully set, full of character, and serving delicious meals that felt especially rewarding after long days on the water. The ambiance, warmth, and sense of place made the experience even richer. As a Caribbean geologist, this trail had been on my bucket list for years. There is simply no better vantage point to appreciate Dominica’s coastline and geological outcrops than from the sea. Still, nothing could have prepared me for the dramatic coastal vistas or the up-close views of volcanic features unique to the island. Dominica boasts the highest density of volcanoes per square kilometer in the world, and seeing this raw geology unfold from a kayak was both humbling and awe-inspiring. While I consider myself a seasoned hiker with moderate fitness, this was my first time undertaking such an extensive multi-day kayaking expedition. That said, Wes’ top-quality kayaks, meticulous preparation, and calm, encouraging guidance made all the difference. Thanks to his leadership, I was proud to complete the full three-day trail—something I’ll carry with me for life. I cannot recommend the Waitukubuli Sea Trail enough—not just for the physical challenge, but for the rare opportunity it offers to truly experience the wild, majestic beauty of Dominica from a perspective few ever see. If you’re looking for an adventure that feeds the body, mind, and soul—this is it. 💚

WOW! Our group paddled the Waitukubuli Sea Trail and had the most amazing time. Wes and Kerry run a top notch business. From their knowledge, kayaking equipment, detail to safety, arranging accommodations and food, making sure everyone was happy, engaged, entertained and taken care of, you could not ask for more. We had so much fun with Wes, Syi and Freddie non stop for the whole week that we were sad to leave them. Can’t forget to mention Kerry and his snorkeling, marine and local knowledge, we saw and learned so much from him. I couldn’t be happier with this trip even when the weather didn’t cooperate, it was fantastic!

The first week of February I had the pleasure of kayaking the Waitukubuli Sea Trail with a wonderful group of participants including the founder and guide Wes and associate Pitty. The trail is well thought out including the lodging, the daily snorkeling, lunch stops. The cultural and educational opportunities make the overall difference. We were able to visit volcanic hot baths, a tropical organic farm in the mountains, stay two nites in a fort, see how island chocolate and gin are produced along with periodical historical stops. We had a preview of our skill level which led to appropriate safety and rescue practice on day one. Finally, we learned how to successfully build a Trak 2.0 sea kayak which I used on the trip. All in all an exciting adventure that I will be recommending to my kayak friends.

Had an amazing kayaking and snorkeling trip paddling the Waitukubuli Sea Trail along Dominica's western coast with this company. The guides were extremely knowledgeable and skilled and were safety conscious, keeping an eye on changing weather and sea conditions. I highly recommend this eco-adventure travel experience.

The best experience I’ve had on the island! The tour with Freddy amazing - he was so knowledgeable about all the different types of fish we saw and we even swam with a couple of turtles. The kayaking part was easy and the snorkelling honestly blew my mind. Freddy was friendly and funny and all around a great guide. Can’t recommend enough.

Wow, these guys are amazing! And what an incredible experience! I was a little nervous at first, as I have never been sea kayaking. But everyone was so helpful, nice and put me at ease. Absolutely check them out if you are visiting Dominica!

Amazing experience, great equipment. And super convenient access from Soufriere. After a day of paddling, crack some ice cold Kubuli and watch the sunset right at the Outdoor Center. Will definitely be back. Thanks Wes, Kerry and staff at the centre!

This was such an amazing experience I did it twice with my friends and family! We did a sunset kayak tour and snorkelling at pointe Guinard. The staff there was very welcoming and professional. The kayaking itself was very calming and fun! During snorkelling we were lucky to see large turtles, squids and multiple species of fish!
