"The Nature Island" takes pride in its lush rain forests, the vast Morne Trois Pitons National Park, rare birds and the only remaining Carib Indian Tribe. The focus in this unspoiled land is on ecotourism, and excursions take tourists on walking tours of the renovated Cabrits fortress or on hikes through the rain forest in search of rare parrots. Jeeps are available for rent for those who want to make the scenic drive from Portsmouth to Roseau.
