LOCATION Dominica, West Indies, Caribbean

HIGHRIDE NATURE ADVENTURES is located at New Florida Estate near the village of Bellevue-Chopin in the south of Dominica.

New Florida is well known for the production of Christmas/Pine trees, ornamental and landscaping plants, exotic fruits, and tropical flowers and foliage for export.

Nestled at the base of Morne Anglais, our private estate and certified organic farm spans rain-forest canopy, elfin forest, montane thicket and cultivated land. Skillfully terraced mountainsides offer spectacular mountain and coastal views.

Large tracts of preserved virgin forest provide a natural sanctuary for many species of birds, butterflies and small wildlife. An intricate web of well-established and maintained trails weaves throughout offering visitors a rare glimpse of Nature's secrets.

New Florida EstateView

New Florida Estate is one of the last remaining estates in Dominica to maintain a family tradition of horsemanship. For over 50 years horses have been an integral part of our estate operations, both for pleasure riding and organic farming activities. In conjunction with horses, we have been using ATV units for more than 12 years in farm operations and for recreational purposes.

RIDER COMMENTS
Melanie,
It was our greatest pleasure to spend the day with you and your family on the ATV tour. My wife and I have determined that your place, its ambiance and the natural approach you bring to it was the highlight of our vacation and thank you very much for that. I hope to see you again sometime in the near future to spend yet another perfect day in Dominica Forest.
Cheers! LB 10/2007
Melanie,
We can’t say enough about the ATV ride last week! Our guide was so much fun! I don’t know when we have had that much fun! We will treasure the memories of your family and the warmness we felt when we returned forever. Thank you for telling us about James and his Reggae CD! We have played it ever since we got home and love it! It will always remind us of Dominica! You have made a mark on our hearts and we will never forget you! YM 09/2007
Melanie.
Just wanted to say Thanks for the warm hospitality you, your family and co-workers exhibited to me and my family. You have a great, well-run operation that does the island of Dominica proud.
We all had a wonderful time and made many fond memories that will always be with us.
May God bless and continue to shine prosperity upon you. M2 ll/2006
Dear Melanie,
Just a note to thank you for a fantastic day spent quad bike riding in the rainforest. The tour guides were great, very friendly and informative. We were very impressed with your organisation and will be recommending it to anybody who is visiting your part of the world. The picnic was excellent and nice to sample local homemade produce. It was nice to visit somewhere off the beaten track instead of the normal routine shore excursions. It was lovely to meet you and will look you up if we are able to visit again. EM 11/2006
Hello Melanie. I wanted to thank you for the GREAT time my mom and I had on the ATV we took with you. .. I wanted to say that we had the BEST TIME!!! You were extremely nice, your children were gorgeous, and the ATV trail was a blast. I cannot remember the name of the guy who helped us practice on the ATV's, but he was so nice. This tour was by far the most fun we had on our cruise. KA 09/2006

I just would like to drop a line in thanking you and your husband on the incredible time we had last week. This was the first time we went ATVing and had a experience of a life time. My husband did find every mud pile to drive thru and wished there were more. The breathtaking views of the mountains and rain-forest was magnificent. Both of you were wonderful hostess and very interesting in learning the history of Dominica. - thanks for a unforgetable experience. BS 04/2006

I just wanted to write you and thank you for a WONDERFUL experience my friends and I had last week...from our pick up at the Norwegian Spirit to your lovely hospitality and patience as I was most concerned with my wife's safety....as you showed concern for everyone. We all agreed your ATV adventure was the highlight of our trip and we would have gladly turned around and done it again.....! Thank you from this grateful Travel Agent....I will be sending clients your way.....you know how to treat your guests. DB 01/2006

Hi Melanie,
I just wanted to take a moment to thank you so very much for your hospitality and service during our visit to Dominica. Our children will never forget their ATV experience through the rainforest. It was definitely the highlight of our trip and one they are still talking about! It was an incredible experience for all of us and you and everyone who helped us were just fabulous! They even commented that you were the some of the kindest people they have ever met. We will certainly reccomend this excursion to all and we wish you the best. Thank you once again for all you did to make this excursion so unforgetable! JH 08/2005
Dear Melanie and David
We cannot thank you enough for our great trip to visit you . Our cruise was wonderful but the day we spent with you and David was the best of all. Everyone agreed it was the highlight of the week. No one wanted to leave, not only because it was fun but there was such a sense of family and happiness there.
The safety precautions were much appreciated even thought the kids wanted to "rip out".
We certainly got many stares as we dragged our weary, muddied bodies back to our ship.
It is a day we won't forget soon and if we ever visit your island again we will be sure to return.
Thank you again, Melanie and Dave. We wish you much success with your business and I will always remember the absolutely beautiful faces (and eyes) of your children, and Melanie's lovely smile. RS 08/2005
The ATV tour through the Rainforest was absolutely incredible. I must say that out of all of the tours and excursions that I did on my 7 day cruise, this was absolutely one of the best. The guides were extremely pleasant and courteous and the scenery was breathtaking. The fact that it even started to rain a little bit made the ride and tour even more fabulous (the guides were prepared with rain gear for all of us). I would be happy to tell any prospective travelers that if you only have the chance to do one or two tours during your vacation, make sure that this is one of them! SF 06/2004
I arranged for the (8) friends & family group to ATV in Dominica and it was GREAT! A taxi driver met us at the dock and identified himself with our name. The ride "up" to the ATV starting point (2300 feet up) was almost exciting as the ATV ride. The ATV ride was a lot of fun (training was provided) and the owners (a family) were very pleasant and most cordial. We all agree that we would do it again and will advise anyone going to Dominica to participate in this unique adventure. Thank you.

Just returned home this morning from a nice cruise. Our ride with you was the highlight of our vacation. We have been on a few horseback rides with other stables in the past but our ride with you was by far the most enjoyable. Thanks for helping to make our day on your beautiful island so much fun. Say hi to the girls for us.
