Home >> Americas >> Dominica >> Champagne Snorkeling
 

We went snorkeling in the Champagne area of Scott's Head Marine Preserve near Soufriere.

We visited Champagne, one of the best snorkeling sites on the island. Here is the boardwalk leading out to the site. Snorkelers getting ready to snorkel in Champagne. There's lots of rocks to leave your things on. A look back before we head in to the water. The name of the park is Soufriere Scott's Head Marine Reserve And now you see why they call it Champagne. Geothermal activity beneath the ground causes bubbles to float up in streams all around you.
