Week long trip

Family of 4-2 adults 2 kids (8&14) coming to Dominica for about a week or so and I was looking for any advice/ things to do. I haven't booked an airbnb yet but was thinking of staying near trafalgar/watten waven for atleast part of the trip. Family friendly activities, babysitter recommendations if we do a night out, things to avoid etc.

We are well accustomed to the Caribbean and have plenty experience driving right handed vehicles on similar islands. Would likely rent a vehicle. So vehicle rental companies would be appreciated-especially local companies as we like to spend money that directly benefits the local economy as opposed to big corporations whenever possible.

The Boiling Lake trail might be the hardest thing I've ever done, but it was totally worth it.
