Roseau, Dominica – June 9, 2022

Discover Dominica Authority (DDA) is pleased to support the watersports sector by partnering with Soufriere Outdoor Centre (SOC) on the inaugural Waitukubuli Sea Trail expedition. The objective of the expedition is to design a permanent sea kayaking trail and tour from the north to south of Dominica utilizing high end sea touring kayaks.

From June 7 – 10, 2022, Wes Moses, owner of SOC, and Melanie Grant, an award-winning filmmaker from Barbados, will kayak the length of Dominica. The duo will begin the mission at the Guadeloupe Channel off Capuchin and will paddle south over four days to the Martinique Channel off Scott’s Head. The Waitukubuli Sea Trail will be the only sea kayaking trail in the Caribbean. During this and future expeditions, kayakers can expect to observe various marine life such as turtles, dolphins, schools of colorful fish or even a gliding shark’s fin. The sea trail provides much opportunity to explore hidden beaches, rock outcroppings, inlets, and the cliff sides.

See the full DDA Press release below.
