This is the start of the Waikubuli National Trail, which is currently being cleared and restored by volunteers. Spanning 115 miles from north to south, it was designed by the local community to link up remote villages. This is the only long-distance walking trail in the Caribbean. It is a treasure to locals, visiting nature lovers and international trekkers.
Dominica Voluntourism yacht charter participants work with the Forestry Division and the Waitukubuli National Trail Management Unit. Your charter party can assist with efforts to clear, restore and rehabilitate the trail.
You can help at all three project sites if you wish. Chart your course with Captain Piero aboard Catamaran Sagittarius. Chartering a private yacht means your itinerary is always flexible. Work
to restore natural wonders above and beneath the sea and you'll achieve a holistic understanding of Dominica's unique environments.
- Clear and clean the Indian River
Sail to Portsmouth to help clean and clear Dominica's longest river, the Indian River.
- Dive to help clean up and restore the marine reserve
Join a scuba diving volunteer project focused on cleaning the marine reserve in northwest
Dominica. Fragile island structures, tin roofs, and a massive amount of other debris was blown into the sea. Dive sites have been severely damaged by large amounts of debris settling on the ocean floor.
- Clear a segment of the Waikubuli National Trail
The Waitukubuli National Trail (WNT) connects National Parks, local communities, farm lands, forest reserves and coastal areas. It links the Morne Trois Pitons National Park, a UNESCO natural World Heritage Site. Dominica Voluntourism Yacht Charter participants who elect to work on the trail should be prepared to handle equipment. Your work may require a chain saw, cutlass, shovel, rake and wheel barrow, for clearing, pruning and in some cases planting. Visit their website at https://www.avirtualdominica.com/project/waitukubuli-national-trail/
There are many options to choose from. Here are some ideas:Day 6: Set sail aboard Sagittarius
- 1-day Central Island Tour: Imperial Road, Pond Casse, Emerald Pool, Castle Bruce, Kalinago Territory, Northern Forest Reserve, Spanny Twin Falls
- 1-day Beach Walk: Salisbury to St. Joseph, 7km on the newly formed beach

Pull up anchor and set a course for the Isle des Saints, a perfect lunch stop. In the afternoon continue sailing to Martinique, Guadeloupe or St Lucia for the night.
Trek up a volcano, take an island tour, visit a distillery, wander botanical gardens, explore the town museums, shops and restaurants.
First, enjoy a full breakfast on Sagittarius' aft deck. Next, grab your gear and go for a final swim or snorkel in the balmy Caribbean Sea. Then it's time to bid your crew farewell.
