Kayaking the Waitukubuli Sea Trail in Dominica | Champagne Reef 1
Nov 29, 2025
The Waitukubuli Sea Trail is found in Dominica, and it is the first sea kayaking trail in the Caribbean. It's also one of the most amazing sea kayaking destinations in the world. In this video, I've hooked up with Wes and Kerry, the owners of the Soufriere Outdoor Centre in Dominica, who worked with Discover Dominica to develop the kayaking trail. Wes and Kerry took me on a classic Waitukubuli Sea Trail experience, which involved paddling from their base in Soufriere to Champagne Reef - one of the most popular snorkelling destinations on the island.
Soufriere Outdoor Centre thanks Chev Dixon, Director of the Hudson River Riders, who paddled with them for a month and collaborated to start a youth kayaking program in Soufriere. Chev is an avid kayaker whose passion for paddling is contagious. He has opened the doors to thousands of youth to sea kayaking and the outdoors by creating access to the sport, especially youth of color. He has been an inspiration to many youths in Dominica.
