Indian River, River in Saint John Parish, Dominica
The Indian River flows through Saint John Parish towards the Caribbean Sea between Portsmouth and Glanvillia, featuring coastal wetlands and Bwa Mang trees along its banks.
The Kalinago people established settlements along the Indian River banks, using it as their main transportation route for trading goods with sailors in pre-colonial times.
Local guides navigate wooden boats through the river's waters, sharing information about native plants, wildlife, and traditional fishing practices of the region.
Visitors can take guided boat tours departing from Portsmouth, with experienced operators using hand-operated paddles to maintain the natural environment.
The Indian River served as a filming location for scenes in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, featuring the Bush Bar where visitors sample local drinks.
