Create an itinerary including Indian River
Listen to the sound of birds joyfully singing and immerse yourself in the tranquillity of calm waters and the surrounding dense green jungle as you sail up Dominica's Indian River. Take an Indian riverboat ride upstream, a popular activity in the area. Your guide educates you about the local animal and plant life as you make your way to the head of the river to enjoy a refreshing drink. You may feel a sense of familiarity as this is the shooting location for some scenes of the motion picture Pirates of the Caribbean. See if you can identify some scenes from the movie. For Indian River and beyond, use our Portsmouth sightseeing planner to get the most from your Portsmouth vacation.

  • The vessel tour on a river was very nice experience, kind of a over priced for such a short trip (120 EC for 2 persons + day pass 25EC). Local guides not friendly at all!!!

  • Very nice if you get a local guide from p.a.y.s they are very well informed about the history and surrounding nature
  • Totaly worthy it ! The guide Leon was very nice and the river is very beautiful. The little punch at the end of the river trip is perfect !
  • Beautiful. Scenes from one of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies were filmed here.
  • You get A lovely one hour picturesque boat ride up the Indian River where you can get a first had look at some of our flower and fuana. A number of migratory birds make the Indian River swamplands their home from time to time. More to explore on this River... one of our premier sites on island.
  • Beautiful river. Very genuine guides paddle you up the river and point out plants birds and a short history. Worth doing but Portsmouth and surrounding beaches was a big pass.
